50% off Target Finds and Some Happies!

Just look at this cute, cute St. Patty's decor my friend Tausha sent me. I won her giveaway for the grand opening of her etsy shop. She has some really great stuff. Go check out her shop here.


I just love this little rag wreath. I think it's precious. And after tomorrow it will hang on my girls' bedroom door. I am stoked that they have some green in their room to coordinate. I would hate to put this little cutie away till next year!

So, I've been eyeing these melamine plates at Target for a while now. I am such a sucker for pink, polka dots, and damask. The big square plates were $1.48, and the small one was $1.24. Can't beat that...LOVE IT!
I want to hang this arrangement in my girls' room. Yes, I hang plastic plates on the wall. No one ever notices, or they are too nice to tell me. Either way, I don't care.
LOVE IT!

This arrangement will go in my living room. That beautiful aqua blue is my accent color. And I think the polka dots add just the right amount of fun and funk to the mix. I'm thinking I'll spray paint the small flowers white. They have a darling scallopped edge and a raised flower pattern. So sweet.The blue plate was $1.24 and the flowers were 98 cents.
I LOVE me some clearance.
Those little orange stickers make my heart sing!

    We went to Target last night and I almost bought the small flower plates. They only had two that were the light teal. I'm so regretting not getting them!

    oh girl - you know I LOVE these. I 've been eyeing them as well, but I have SO many plates. I love dishes, and these are just too fun for summer.

    Target clearance finds are so sweet! I love picking up those fun plates too-- I might have to try the wall idea with a few. What do you use to hang them? Morgan's poor little room is woefully bare since we've moved!

    And... I have answers for you about the shirts. But it's a little lengthy. And I can't seem to find a way to email you... soooo drop me a line alright??

    I too love those plates! I have a weakness for dishes. I bought some of these Spring dishes a couple of weeks ago and am so excited to use them for a girls luncheon. Stop by my blog and see my post on them. http://whimsybyvictoria.blogspot.com/2009/02/spring-really-is-coming.html
    I love reading and looking at your blog! So fun!!

    I love those plates. I just had them in my hand the other day but didn't get them because I didn't have a use for them. Excited to see what you do with them!

    I look at those plates every time I go in Target, but haven't bought them yet. I wouldn't have thought to hang them on the wall. That is going to look cute!

    What a great idea to hang them on the wall. I picked up a few myself the other day to have on hand to put goodies on for little gifts.

    I need to run to Target, i love the plates and the price is perfect. Thanks for the compliment on my spring wreath and I am glad to know that your sister used burlap for her curtains. Did she use the brown or natural? I would love to see pictures if you have any. Thanks for stopping by my blog. Come again soon.
