"SALE ALERT"

I interrupt this day with a "Sale Alert", Neiman Marcus is having their Pink Sale and every few years I take advantage of the sale and replenish my towel supply. I am a white towel kind of girl, always have been and always will be, What is so wonderful about this sale is you can get them monogrammed, I have priced having individual towels monogrammed and my monogrammer charges $6 just for the monogram. I love the quality of these towels and they  hold up beautifully.  I am asked all the time how do I keep my towels so white, I have found that my liquid detergent and Oxy together works really well and they stay bright and fresh. Hope you can take advantage of this "Sale Alert" with the addition of Free Shipping it is a hard one to pass up.

Enjoy The Process of finding a Bargain

In the future I hope to be offering more Sale Alerts so stay tuned.

Its Friday and I Feel Foot-loose and Fancy Free!!

I know most of us have heard the term,"Foot-loose and Fancy Free",well according to the the oxford dictionary this phrase means: Free from emotional involvement or commitment to anyone. On Fridays that is how I feel. It is the day before the weekend starts when there will be activities with family and friends ,a day I can do as little or as much as I want (I call this Puttzing), no commitment but to myself (trust me I know this is a luxury).Since today is a Foot-loose Fancy Free kind of day,I thought it would be fun to look at some Fancy things. I can not use the word Fancy without thinking of a wonderful character in a childrens book,"Fancy Nancy" by author Jane O'Connor. If you have any little girls in your life this is a must read. To be perfectly honest I would read these books even if there wasn't a little girl in my life."Fancy Nancy" tries to make everything in her life, Fancy. Granted it is way over the top but none the less Fancy.

You can see that Nancy really likes FANCY!!!

I like touches of Fancy but nothing as elaborate as Nancy so I thought I would do some virtual shopping for some Fancy things. I have two rules: It has to be very economical cheap and On Sale Are you ready to go shopping? Here we gooooooo!

I know Christmas is over but this is on SALE and I think it would make a great touch of Fancy for any party

Wouldn't you love to wrap up in one of these wonderful throws?

I think anything monogrammed  pumps up the Fancy factor and these are a great deal at West Elm

I have an obsession for anything monogrammed ,more on that later

Now I know this bowl has simple lines, but that is what I love about it and don't you think the silver band makes it look fancy? This set comes in a set of  six bowls. These would be great for entertaining or how about your morning cereal, even oatmeal would taste fancy in one of these bowls and the price is great, I told you it has to be economical or on sale on this shopping trip.

If I am having my oatmeal in a silver rimmed bowl I want my milk in these lovely simply elegant glasses from William Sonoma Home, wait until you see the discount on these little lovelies.

How about this mini chandelier from Zgallerie with led lights to sit on your table instead of candles.Now I know my oatmeal and milk will taste realllllly fancy with this on my table

I told you I was going to shop economically, do you think any of these items could add some FANCY to your day? I know I had fun looking around for all these cheap economical little pretties. So try to look around your home and in your life and Enjoy The Process of being, Foot-loose and Fancy Free by adding some FANCY in your life

Virtual Shopping For The "T"word at the "T" store

Yesterday I talked about the "T" word Texture and how it can make a nice room become a Great room!So how can you bring Texture into your rooms? Well every element in a room will have some form of texture,whether it is rough,smooth,shiney. When you look at a piece to purchase for your home think of what texture will this bring to my room? Does your room need more rough, smooth or shiney? Since we are talking about the "T" word I thought I would take you on a virtual shopping trip to a store that starts with a "T". I bet you know which one I am talking about, I like to refer to it as "Tarjay". I know almost everyone has a Target in their town and they do a wonderful job on decorative items at very affordable prices and in this economic enviroment we need good deals to spruce up our homes.I am going to show you just a few items that could bring in some texture variations in your room. Of course you will need to choose items that go with your own personal style and the look of your room but this will just be some ideas to show you the varied textures that items can have. So first think of the accessory your room needs or that you just want and then think of the texture the room needs. Here we gooooooooo!Virtual shopping at Tarjay

This mirror would bring shine to any room and it is only $99 or this great black one at $79.00

This is a great mirrored sconce to bring shine and light into a room for $24.99

The ball of twine would add a nice rough texture to any room for only $9.99
or how about the great texture of the coral also for $9.99

This pillow at $19.99 would add a great texture to any room

I love the nubbiness on this throw,another interesting texture to bring into a room, again from Tarjay in their Nantucket collection for $24.99

This shiney metal bowl is a great texture and has a sculptural quality for only $14.99

There are so many great deals at Target, they have great mirrored trays for $29.99  would look wonderful on an ottoman.They even have a black tray with a mirrored top by Victoria Hagan for the same price that I have in my home and I use it on my ottoman.Target also has a great banana leaf trunk for $79.99 that has a great texture and also storage inside. So you can see if you are a little more selective and observant you can add interest to any room in your home for a great price. A dear friend of mine has a saying,"LLM"

That stands for "Looks Like More". Now isn't that what we are all looking for?

Enjoy The Process of: shopping for texture that,"LLM"(looks like more)
