Garage Sale!

Over the weekend was a huge community garage sale in the town I grew up in. My step mom and I woke up really early and hit the pavement for some good deals around town.

I was looking specifically for shelving units and Tupperware for the new place, but I didn't really find either. I did find a cute little table for our front entry way that we're going to use as a place for our keys, mail, and phone books. This way we can clear off some of the clutter from the kitchen table. I also grabbed up a great new lunch kit, a colorful mat for my bedroom or the kitchen (I haven't decided), and a book about Jackie O.

Now that I have some furniture I should really get working on unpacking the remaining boxes I have left and doing some organizing and purging!

My next move-in tasks that I need to accomplish are:
  • Bring up new furniture piece from the basement to put my TV on
  • Incorporate some books into the new shelf
  • Empty 3 boxes from the hall, 1 box in the kitchen, and 1 box in my room
  • Reorganize the book shelf in my room
  • Move the small table near my dresser for my blow dryer and hair straightener

Pretty Treats

So, because I like to indulge myself in gifts on a regular occasion, I figured I should document them here!

Yesterday I found some fabulous House of Harlow 1960 jewelry on www.gilt.com. The necklace I reaaaallly wanted sold out. It was devastating, I even put myself on the wait list!


I ended up purchasing this lovely ring:
 
As well as these stud earings:
 
I was very happy with my purchases from guilt.com, however the shipping to Canada was ridiculous and it might not come until the beginning of July! I really hope they are as beautiful as I imagine them to be when they arrive!

My next purchases were from Beyond the Rack, they were having a great Mat and Nat event! I sniped up a great Hendrix Ikat bag:
 
As well as a cute black wallet for an AMAZING price.
