A New Blog and A Fun Place To Shop!!

There is a new blog in blog land or at least fairly new to me. I really enjoy my visits there and I thought you all might also.

It is called Proper Hunt! She did a post the other day on Land’s End. I know most of us think about the great monogrammed totes that they have, but they also carry some fun home items.

This Spring stripes are being featured not only in clothing but in home decor. That makes this girl verrrrrry happy.

Here are just a few of the items that I think are fun and they are also priced very reasonably.  I think they would be a fun addition to your Spring/Summer decor.
All Items from Land’s End:

Darling Zig-Zag pillow!

This comes in other colors also.

I love this rug!!

Be sure and go over to Proper Hunt Blog, you won’t be disappointed. Tell her Kathysue sent you by and welcome her to blog land!!!

Everyone has been so gracious to me and I remember how that made me feel when I was a brand new blogger a year ago. I know she will really appreciate the visit!!! Her name is Christina!!!

The Shopping God’s Were With Me!!!

I actually had another post scheduled to post for today. The post was titled, “I need HELP!”

My request for help was to help me find an object for my home. It is an object that many of you might question, but trust me on this, when you see where it is going you will understand why I wanted this little guy.

I was on the look for the last three days for one of these:

 

After googling and investigating different leads I found out that they had these at Pier I about 6 months ago, but they were no longer listed on-line.

I figured if I were to find one it would be pure luck by going in and finding the last one on display at a Pier I.

Yesterday the shopping god's were with me!!!

 I was having a fun day with my friend and we, of course went into Pier I to check it out. At first there was no elephant to be found. I did a last little look  around the store and there he was!!!

We asked if they were having a sale soon because he was marked $99.00.

That was more than I wanted to pay, but was willing to pay that after my friend reminded me of how perfect it was and it was exactly what I wanted and had been looking for.

My wonderful friend told the clerk that they no longer had them on line. Sooooooo, the clerk did a price check and he was $39.99, “Sold!” Happy Dance ensues!!!

My friend said that the elephant seemed to make me so happy that she thought maybe she should get one just to have that happy feeling, even though she did not desire one at all. We laughed about that!!

I  am now the proud owner of  a wicker elephant table!!! Yay!! Don’t you just love when that happens.

Here he is………..

I think he needs a name don’t you?

Has something like this happened to you before? What was the item and was it a great deal?

Which Fabric Would You Choose?? !!!

 

 

These are the existing fabrics I am going to use in the playroom.

All the  fabrics are for pillows except for the large polka dot and that will be in the form of a curtain. The solid green is the wall color, Martha Stewart’s lemon grass. The navy striped fabric is for when the boys are here and the bright pink floral is for when I have a little girl visiting here.

 

Below are the samples I have chosen to consider for a large cushion. One of the fabrics below will be right next to the large navy polka dot.

Depending on which fabric I choose it will have a cord welting trim in either the white or one of the greens. 


I will also add a touch of this fabric in the form of a pillow so the color and print will be elsewhere in the room.

Possible Large Cushion Fabric:
Item #: CS-LV19N Fabric Fabric Color: Outdura Capri Nautical (5110) (this fabric is actually more navy with some blue)

Item #: CS-LV19N Fabric Color: Robert Allen Baron Lake Marine (RA-197344)

Item #: CS-LV19N Fabric Color: Robert Allen Tupper Island Marine (RA-193941)

Item #: CS-LV19N Fabric 
Fabric Color: Robert Allen Oak Island Cinder (RA-196540)

Item #: CS-LV19N Fabric Fabric Color: Robert Allen Tupper Island Seaglass (RA-196621) (This is an aqua and green and a bit brighter in person)
Item #: CS-LV19N Fabric Fabric Color: Robert Allen Stony River Marine (RA-196965)

 Possible cord welting
Item #: CS-LV19N Fabric Fabric Color: Robert Allen Simple Plaid Leaf (RA-194468)

Item #: CS-LV19N Fabric Fabric Color: Outdura Incline Natural White (4320)

Item #: CS-LV19N Fabric Fabric Color: Sunbrella Palm (5421-0000)

Item #: CS-LV19N Fabric Sample

Now for the fun part!!
Which fabric would you choose for the cushion and which fabric for the cord welting?

There are no right or wrong answers, so just choose which one or one’s you like the best  to coordinate with the large  navy polka dot fabric.  Please leave a comment to tell me. It will be fun to see all the different opinions!!
