retail therapy

nothing cures my bad week blues better than spending a little money.
i wish i knew why, but i don't.
i just know it's true.
so here is a review of my retail therapy from the past week or two:

this shower curtain for my bathroom.
yes, we've lived here for 2 years and just got a shower curtain.
it's perfection and i am completely smitten.















got this quilt for noah's bed.
i'm still looking for a cheap solid blue throw pillow (ONE sham was $35!).
stupid nautica.















and yesterday? oooh people. i spent a solid hour in tai-pan COMPLETELY ALONE.
dave kept the kids and i just walked and shopped to my heart's content.
it's literally just down the street and i've only been there once in the entire time we've lived here.
i got 3 short square vases for $2 each.
i got a new hurricane to replace my broken one for $10.
i got some christmas wrapping paper, ribbon, and garland for $8.

and that is the BEST retail therapy there is: getting lots of stuff for cheap.

Cute shower curtain and cute bedspread. I can't relate to the spending-money-makes-me-happy part (it stresses me out), but I'm happy for you. You got some cute stuff!

Shower curtain is darling! Give it! That quilt looks very similar to Charlie's and his is Nautica too. I remember when I bought it, the sham was $50 and I couldn't believe it! I had to wait for it to go on sale and use a 20% off coupon. Stupid Nautica. I bet you could find a plain blue sham online at bed,bath&beyond or jcpenney. Good luck. Retail therapy seems to run in our family...

Good finds. The best part is finding a great deal!

I plan on going to Tai Pan on Thursday morning on my way to pick up my sis from the airport. I also need to drop by your place to drop off a little gift. Will you be home?
