I was anticipating flying with babylouwho, leaving brother and sisterlouwho with mrlouwho for the weekend, doing last minute laundry, dishes and meal prep. It was a lot to get done!! I tend to procrastinate packing as well. I had my bags mostly packed on Tuesday night, so guess what I did on Wednesday morning, before leaving at 3:00 pm for the airport? Shopping!!!
I'm sure I should have been home packing and cleaning, but I had a couple of IMPORTANT things to take care of! First off, I stopped at Hancock's to pick up some of this awesome burlap printed with black velvet damask.
Next up, I had to stop at Ross. A few weeks ago I got a call from a very sweet friend:
Friend: Amy, Ross has queen sized Amy Butler sheets for 30$, they are turquoise and yellow and I thought of you! I hid them behind the others if you want to go and get them.
Me: NO WAY!!!
Friend: Well, I'm still out, if you want I can go back and get them for you. You can't even buy that much fabric for $30.
Me: I KNOW!! Yes! Please!
She dropped them off a few days later. Are you kidding me?!? I love them. And what a great friend!!
A week or so later I went back into Ross looking for birdcages. I found one! So cute! And also saw THE MATCHING COVERLET to the sheets for $35! I stewed about them for a week and had to go Wednesday for fear of someone else buying it up.
And then on further inspection they had a cute twin sized duvet cover. It didn't really match sisterlouwho's bedding though, but it was only $15. And then I realized it was made from her LOVE line that I used for babylouwho's quilt.
I'm so happy with it all! 400 thread count, organic cotton, over 1/2 off the original prices ~ It's almost like thrifting!
I called Kim and told her about and she checked out her Ross and found some too - so hurry out if you're interested!
Have you found any good deals lately?

haha! yeah i know what you mean. i've bought things with the intent of "she'll need that someday!" :)
I recently found two pairs of jeans (long ones even!) and four new shirts for under $50 total. And they all fit me! I totally revamped my winter wardrobe for $50? I was thrilled! Also, I found another one of those little pear plates at Savers. Now I have three :) Yay!
Really, I shut off the machine for that one! That is reserved for kids falling or Mark Wahlberg walking in my front door ( not likely to happen) so this was UP there! I think the lady in Ross thought I was crazy when I was talking to you while looking through everything,LOL! That gray and ivory I found was ab fab Amy...THANK you for sharing!!!!!!
OH wow Amy. What a sweet friend you have to help you out on such a great deal. :o) Those colors remind me so much of you! :o)
Have a wonderful week.
Sincerely, Trish
Nice finds! I found an Amy Butler organic queen comforter in a grey and cream damask print last year at Home Goods. I snagged that right up!
