I've Been Shopping!

Over the past few weekends I've been shopping!  I thought I would share with you some of what I found.

First up, whenever we get to the Southwest side of town I press hard to get Mr. B to stop by Kirkland's.  It's about a once a quarter visit for me and I was anxious to see what was new in Fall decor.  I was not disappointed.

Isn't this little trio of pumpkins adorable?  $9.99.  So cute!

I also found this little plate with stand at $5.99 to sweet to leave without.

The quote is perfect for a gardener like me!

Tiny treasures.

Just to make sure my bag was full, I added this to my purchase.

It is battery operated and lights up.  The lights actual twinkle! Pricier than I normally like to spend at $24.99 but I don't see them lasting to any clearance sale, do you?

Next, I found a new addiction!  Did you know there are groups on Facebook for yard sales with out a yard??  Neither did I until a few weeks ago!  I'm hooked! Basically, sellers list what the have for sale, price & location.  You decide if you are interested, let them know and then pick it up.  I just happened to be perusing one of the groups local to me and came across a full set of silver plate flatware, service for 10, for $25, not too far away. 

Oh yes!  I jumped right on it and it is now MINE!

It is Nobility Plate from Oneida from 1937.  I love the art deco design! Even Mr. B loved it and helped me to polish the tarnish off every piece!  I checked eBay and I think I got a HUGE deal!!

We're not done shopping yet!  Mr. B's mother is getting ready to sell her home and needed to borrow some bedding.  Since she is an hour away, we set up to meet in between, do some shopping and have lunch.  "In between" just so happens to be, wait for it, Kirkland's!  LOL! Yep!  I got to go twice in as many weeks! My MIL loves Kirkland's even more than I do, if that is even possible! Well of course, several new items caught my eye and came home with me.

I am such a sucker for decorative glass plates!  I love the colors, pattern and shape of this one. It is for sure going to be a wonderful addition to my Fall decor!

Along with this gorgeous vase!   LOVE everything about it!

We hit one more store before we went to lunch.  Another store I don't get to very often because it's not close, Pier 1.  I haven't been in a Pier 1 in ages and I was a tad shocked at the prices.  Eeek!  But then I remembered I had a gift card I hadn't used all up and Mr. B's mom had one she swore she was never going to use so, when I saw these salad plates, price be darned, they had to be mine.

Without gift cards, 4 would have been out of my comfort zone but WITH the gift cards, they were affordable.  

You know I will be sharing a tablescape with these as the star soon!

How about you?  Have you been out shopping lately?  Show me your favorites in the comments below!  It's cheaper that way for me LOL!

World Market Easter Table

I am so pleased to be a part of a blog hop this week, Sharing is Caring, hosted by Monika over at Life With Lovebugs. 

We have teamed up to bring you lots of spring and Easter inspiration.  You can visit all of the great links at the bottom of this post. 
Today I am sharing with you my Easter Table using some of my own items as well as those I got on my recent shopping trip.
You may remember a few weeks back I was invited to the grand re-opening of the Denver World Market.

I showed some of the lovelies that I purchased and promised to show you how they were used.

Of course they were used to set a beautiful Easter table.
No tablecloth, I wanted the place settings and centerpiece to be the stars.

I started with the off white lacy placemats. I then layered on a robin egg blue charger I bought a few months ago, on clearance, from Kirkland's. Next came another pale blue salad plate from Home Goods.  And the star, a pretty bowl from World Market with a bunny with his egg hidden inside.

My Rogers silverplate flatware makes another appearance.

The napkin and napkin ring are from World Market. I love the crisp white of the flowers on the napkin ring.

The centerpiece, with the exception of the flowers, are also from World Market.

Using the pale pink and green roses from my St. Patrick's Day table, I hit the floral clearance at the grocery store once again and found some other brighter flowers to fill in the white urn.  I'm tellin' you, those clearance flowers last weeks!
I have been wanting a vase like this forever and was so happy to finally find the one I like at World Market. 
I may have to go get another one and use them both on the buffet.

I also purchased a few of these pretty teal glass jars for candles. I plan on using them outside too this summer.

Set on Easter candle wreaths.

The little speckled eggs mimic some of the colors in the flowers.

I am so pleased with the way my Easter table turned out.
I like that it is fitting for Easter and for Spring.

Be sure and check out all of the other great spring ideas at the hop.
