I have been so focused on the living room and family room drapes that I haven't done anything in the way of fun shopping. It's amazing how you can get focused on one thing and have total tunnel vision about anything else.
So I finally took some time one day and hit a couple of my favorite stores. Goodwill usually comes up with something I love. I found two sacks of these fabulous shell and fiber orbs. They were $2.99 a sack and of course it was 25% off day too. Some were big, but there were quite a few small ones. I love all the different textures.
It seems like I always can use anothe tray. While I was out looking for drapes, I stopped in at Marshall's. You can always find a treasure there. I found this great tray in the clearance section. Yes, the brass is a little scratched, but that didn't bother me.
So, have you done any fun shopping lately?

Great finds, Marty! Love the new orbs added to your beautiful vignette!
ReplyDeleteWhat fabulous bargains Marty!!! I saw the same tray at TJ Maxx but not yet at that great price! I love the shell orbs too!!!!!! Been to the goodwill lately and found something I'll probably share next week or so. :-)
ReplyDeleteExcellent scores there Marty - talk about great prices!

Love those orbs and that tray is great! Yes, I have been doing some shopping, come see what I found!
ReplyDeleteLove, love, love the orbs! Just my kind of Goodwill find! They really do look great in the apothecary jar. I love trays, too. I'm always on the lookout for them at G.W. Been trying to curb the shopping instinct, not always successful, though:)

Okay... where were those at the Goodwill ;) I never saw them! It always amazes me what people donate or what Target never sells that ends up at Goodwill.
ReplyDeleteI'll see you at you party this afternoon- thanks for the invite!
Time for a little Rub and Buff in brass for the tray, Marty. Things are looking good.
ReplyDeleteLovely accessories.
ReplyDeleteIt is such a pleasure to meet you.
Blessings :-)
Great treasures… another beautiful vignette!!!
ReplyDeleteTruly some fab finds, Marty, especially the tray! Jane
ReplyDeleteOh what a pretty vignette, Marty! Love how the shell orbs look inside the apothecary jar! Wonderful scores! Hugs, Poppy
ReplyDeleteI do love trays! This one is different and looks expensive. That was a great buy, Marty! Good for you! Now..to see what you do with it. So versitile too.
ReplyDeleteP.S. I bought that same apothacary jar..isn't it great? Some sweet pink roses did it for me..I love your orbs..I found a few of those too. I get so pleased when I see that you like something I like. :) Which goes to show you I highly respect your opinion..NOW if I could just thin things out, but I KNOW I won't. I'll come visit you when I need to see organization mixed with great taste! :)

Those orbs were a great find, Marty! I haven't done any fun shopping in awhile, unless you count buying a couple of clearance sale sweaters off the H&M website fun. : ) I'd really like to get into Goodwill and see what they've got going on. I should have some things to drop off so that would be a good opportunity. We are trying to keep to a budget, given that my husband wants to retire in the next five years. I'm sure "fun shopping" visits will be few and far between.
ReplyDeleteThose orbs look great. I haven't been shopping lately except in my own home. I've stayed home a lot because of the snow we were getting. I love a project like the one you've begun in the living room. I guess I kind of did that last year. It started with wanting to paint, then the drapes.
ReplyDeleteExcellent!! Great finds Marty! I love how you have displayed them.
ReplyDeleteGreat finds, love the orbs and the tray! Love the handles on it. You have the BEST GW ever!!!
ReplyDeleteGreat finds, Marty! You definitely have the eye for a great bargain! I'm hitting Pottery Barn Outlet tomorrow!! Wish me luck!~~Ang
ReplyDeleteGreat orbs, Marty! You always find the best deals at GW.
ReplyDeleteMarty, you can always turn anything you find into a great vignette, and what a deal that tray was! laurie
ReplyDeleteI love the Shell orbs Marty, what a fab find sweet lady! Of course I love the vignette you created with them too!
ReplyDeleteHugs,
FABBY
You lucky lady, you! Those exact "same" orbs are $14.99 for a pack at Kirkland's! I love the vignette you created with them. Marshall's always has awesome treasures, too!
ReplyDeleteI love everything!! And Marty....I NEVER have such good luck at GW or Marshall's. You were one very lucky gal!!!
ReplyDeleteThanks for linking up at Project Inspire{d}!!!

What fun new accessories. There is nothing like some new accents in a room to give it a fresh look.
ReplyDeleteGreat find. I love decorating with orbs, so many options. Your vignette looks very pretty. I have to agree with Diane that I rarely find such cool things at GW. I have not been to Marshalls lately. I think some days we strike gold and other days we go bust. We just keep looking and will eventually find a treasure.
