Retail Goods: World Market Love

I was recently in World Market looking for some wall hooks. 

Why do I always forget about this place?

I was completely impressed with the furniture they have right now and was even more impressed with the prices. 

Here are 7 items that really caught my attention:

{1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7}

Keep up the good work World Market!

PS. Go here to see what my gal Rachel found at Target!

christmas gift goods: top ten

ok, there are actually 11. 

top ten just sounds so much better, doesn't it?

1. fao teddy. our youngest requested a giant teddy bear from santa. this large, classic 28" cuddly bear is going to be perfect!

2. robe. well, sometimes you just need one. and santa really liked the price and polka dots on this one.

3. nerf. every christmas has to involve gifts that shoot things.

4. minetonka boots. real leather and what little girl doesn't love fringe? (shop around for the best price on these)

5. caboodle. did you have one? i did. i wish i had saved it. santa found some at target in the cosmetics department.

6. flashlight.  santa thinks our children are outgrowing their old flashlights that oink and moo. time for the real deal. shadow puppets anyone?

7. flip flop socks. we love little miss matched goods!

8. bodyboard. this one is on the official santa list!

9.  dress. so in love with this holiday party dress from target. it is so puffy and twirly...just how my little goods like it!

10. judy moody.  santa loves giving books.

11. hot wheels. santa brings a few, every. single. year. you can never have enough!

don't you wish you could be a kid again on christmas morning? it really is the best.

today is the day a lot of online retailers offer free shipping. also, don't forget to search for coupon codes and take advantage of sites like ebates. (ebates is paying me over $25 directly to my paypal account, just from the holiday shopping i did online!)

abc goods: abc carpet in nyc

we drove to nj over thanksgiving to visit family. the day after thanksgiving my sister-in-law and i went into the city. we only had time to make a couple of stops, one of which was abc carpet and home. i just love this store. there are 6, (or is it 7?) floors off interior design goodness. it is so much fun to let yourself get lost in this place. you truly need a few hours to experience the whole store. here are a few pictures i took of some of my favorite views. (i highly recommend clicking on the pictures to get the full size view. there are so many things to see...)

this is the entrance, doesn't it look magical?

view down broadway

beautiful window display

another view down broadway

the first thing i saw when i walked in. (this display reminded me that i am not crazy to have painted my master bedroom purple.)

these paper chandeliers were all over the store. i thought they were so beautiful.

after learning they were only $50, i couldn't leave without one. i haven't hung it yet. i'm thinking about putting it in our master bedroom.

i just love this dresser. i have a little table that i have been thinking about painting silver. i'm pretty sure this is silver leaf. whatever it is, it's stunning.

doesn't this bed look incredibly inviting?

i love the combination of the glitzy crystal chandelier and the rustic farm table.
