Here are a few things I’ve been gathering here in the office once I’m ready to start decorating. I’ve been hung-up on what to do for a side table and shelves. I think I’ve gone round-robin on all the possibilities countless times.
I bought this on "The Foundry" website for $22. Not bad. It's actually a decent-sized vase.
I picked out a table on Crate and Barrel that I like but I’m worried that it’s too dark and won’t stand out against the dark chair I have that’ll sit next to it. And I’ve been unusually indecisive about shelves. I’d prefer them to be floating shelves but I’m running into the same issue: if they’re too dark, it’s all going to look like a dark abyss in my office nook.
I bought this at Pier-1. While it wasn't on sale, I cashed in two gift cards I'd received for Christmas that I don't personally shop at. I exchanged those cards for a Pier-1 card at a discounted price, which saved me some money on this purchase.
So until I get things squared away, I’m buying things that I see that are at a good price.
I got this frame on sale for $20. I thought that was a steal of a price. It's a rather large frame made with little shells. Love, love, love!
I could shop all day. I like a bargain.
Kitty likes to get in on the action too. She's sniffing some shells I bought. She was convinced I'd procured her something from the sea as a late night snack. Not a chance.
I wound up doing OK at TJMaxx. I found a bunch of shells, so much in fact that I had to restrain myself. I wound up leaving behind a driftwood mirror that I really wanted (and need to go back for).

I went to a local DVD/CD/Game buy/sell store, and there was a DVD in the “bargain bin” that was pretty scratched up. The clerk said I could have it, and if it works, it works.
So I was expecting to pay for two DVDs, but only paid for one. =D
By the way, the bargain disc only played through half the disc, then wouldn’t play any further… It was a movie I had seen before (“Jane Austin Book Club”), so I wasn’t too upset. =D
