$$ Bargains for My Expensive Taste $$

My absolute FAVORITE home decorating stores are Pottery Barn and Restoration Hardware. Everything they sell is just sooooooo pretty, and wonderful, and comfy, and perfect, and... expensive! But I love them and will not judge them for their ridiculously over priced items. I wander through these stores (usually by means of the internet) to browse and get ideas so that I can go elsewhere and find knock offs. Well, ladies (assuming that it's generally ladies and not men reading this) I HAVE FOUND MY ULTIMATE BARGAIN. I just have to share it with you!

I was browsing through Restoration Hardware's bed linens and found this beautiful yet simple duvet set. However, I would not be purchasing a sage blanket to go with it, don't care for that much. Anyways, it includes: Duvet cover, two shams, two pillowcases, one fitted sheet, and one flat sheet. All of which are 210 thread count.




Total Price excluding tax and including shipping: $655.60 OUCH! I mean, what if I were to drool on those sheets?! Then what?!?!

So the hunt begins. I WILL find what I want and it WILL be a bargain!

Alas, I come across this site smartbargains.com and find this!



It includes all items mentioned in the R.H. package. Except, this is all 300 thread count. For a grand total of: $64.77 WOO HOO!!!! That includes free shipping!! I told you, I WILL find a bargain!! Now I just have to wait for Justin to get back to me about if I should purchase it or not. Either way, I just like to know that I have the power to find knock offs :)

My Handsome Little Man

This past Thursday was one of Justin's day off. We decided to venture outside as the weather was perfect, a nice 70 degrees with a cool breeze! We headed to Moss Park which Eli LOVED! He surprisingly was not all that interested in the huge playground. He much preferred the wide open field, throwing rocks in the lake, and running around finding the best sticks possible. He's all boy and I love it! Here are a few pics I snapped of my amazingly handsome (now 2 years old!) little man!



Isn't he so handsome??!!
