I guess I’ve been doing more retail therapy than usual. It has to be becuase so many cute things are for sale this season. Like these Power Ball-esque letters from Pier 1.
Aren’t they cute? And for $2.00 each, they don’t break the bank, so I got one ball for each member of our family. My glass thrift store jar was a perfect vessel for displaying my new purchase, too.
While wandering through Pier 1, these pillows caught my eye.
I love the texture of both, although the round red pillow seems uncomfortable and impractical. I might try to make a similar version of the green pillow, though. The Pier 1 version is made of felt, so it should be cheap and easy to work with. We’ll see if it will make the cut. Pun intended.
I also liked this lamp.
After Pier 1, I stopped in TJ Maxx and found matching white rubber backed rugs to replace our old bathroom rugs.
Note: don’t send a straight man to buy a specific color rug. I sent Ben out to buy white rugs. What did he come back with? CREAM! There is a difference. So, we finally have nice quality matching white rugs, all for the low price of $7.99 each. Who’s happy? I’m happy.
I saw this on I Am Style-Ish just the other day. Very similar to the pillow you liked from Pier 1!

love the pillows. those are really great and fun. Im sure they would bring life to any room.
I deal with hubby’s purchase surprises too, only instead of rugs it’s the grocery store. I now have been known to even draw a diagram in addition to listing where it is located within the store. The thought of hubby purchasing a bathroom rug makes me shudder 😉
