Of course, I started at Starbuck's with a little caffeine to fuel the trip:) Here are some of the goodies I scored:
How cute are these mini potted boxwood plants from Crate & Barrel? They are only $6.95 each. I originally thought they'd go in the living room media center, but for now I like them in the kitchen.
And from Pottery Barn, I added two new small cable knit throw pillows (similar to these) and a cable knit throw blanket. I'm ready for those cozy nights!
Also from PB, is this round mother of pearl frame. My photo doesn't do it justice, but I couldn't find it on their website.
I also found something for James' room that I'll have to show you tomorrow!
Oh it is so fun to have an afternoon to just stroll and browse and shop a little. Great treasures. I love the throw and pillows. The little boxwoods look great too. Hugs, Marty
ReplyDeleteI'm loving the cable knit items! I'm so ready for it not to be so blazing hot so I can actually use a blanket. I also bought some new stuff this weekend that I'll be talking about this week and I have a giveaway going on too! I'm feeling like I might actually be getting the hang of this blogging thing! Kind of Sort of! haha
ReplyDeleteWhat great finds! You couch looks so comfy and stylish with that throw and those pillows! And the PB frame is pretty too! And we couldn't have asked for nicer weather this weekend!
ReplyDeleteHappy to see you are a fan of faux greenery. I think faux greenery (& aux flowers) get a bad rap sometimes. One thing I have that's nice is "preserved" boxwood... It's real and is very attractive. When I get the gumption, I should do a post on the preserved mini boxwood wreaths I have. I do have a photo on my sidebar of a couple of mini topiaries I have on my kitchen windowsill. If you ever see the preserved boxwood, trust me, get it. You will love it.
ReplyDeleteBest,

So glad you enjoyed the weekend. Looked like a fun and successful shopping trip. I love your new finds. So fun to be thinking cozy pillows and blankets.
ReplyDeleteHV is so close to mi casa, I love it and those mini faux boxwood are presh! I actually have some faux green poms from CB and they are still going strong after all these years! Your house is beautiful!
ReplyDeleteI had so much fun shopping "over there" that one day!
ReplyDelete(-: It felt like a different world from down here. I'll have to get back to do some Christmas shopping soon. And the weather was perfect this weekend. Glad you got to get out and enjoy it.
Oh, I am in LOVE with those mini potted plants!
ReplyDeleteYou've given me a brilliant idea for my Aunt's Christmas gift :)
Thanks for that!
That cable throw looks oh so cozy and the color is a perfect shade of blue! And the little frame looks great bedside. :)
ReplyDeleteYou have no idea how lucky you are to have all those great stores so close to you. We have a Pottery Barn but that is it. Our nearest C&B and West Elm are three hours away!
ReplyDeleteGreat finds. I grew up in Tanglewood and haven't been back to Houston in a while....I am sure I'd be amazed at all of the changes!
ReplyDeleteGreat new additions!! Those little boxwoods are to cute.
