Deals of the Day


While searching for accessories for a client today, I came across these great finds and thought I'd share them here, in case anyone is still searching for the perfect Mother's Day gift!

The pillows in the photo above are from Wisteria.
Original Price= $24.00 (set of two)
Sale Price= $10.80

Here are some similar ones displayed in an antique dough bowl...great idea!



I LOVE this next item, and at 75% off, it's a great deal if you've been searching for a piece of the past.






Ammonite



Original Price= $249.00
Sale Price= $62.25


Check out these little wire wonders...






Wire Votive Candleholders




Original Price= $34.00 (set of three)
Sale Price= $13.60



You could get two sets for less than one set at the original price!


Ballard Designs has this "Architectural Roof" on sale right now:







Architectural Roof



Original Price= $99.95
Sale Price= $39.99



It sort of reminds of me of Kirsten Hollister's architectural-shaped cloche on the side table next to her sofa.

Farmhouse Wares is selling this great little Cast Iron Door Knocker...







Price= $15.95


Anyone else found any great internet buys lately? I'd love to hear about them, and if you want to post the links to them, I would be ever-so-grateful!

Lalya,

Thank you for all the work you did to post the items, the prices, and the links. Great eye, girl!

Reading, it feels as if I got a call from my good friend telling me where some great bargains are! Thanks for 'the call.'

I didn't know about Wisteria! and I LOVE Ballard!!!!

Did you know we have a "Wisteria" outlet here in Dallas? It is so fun to shop there. Also one of the stores Ballard's buys from has 2 huge sales a year...I am always there. Anyway, they had the architectural roof at the outlet sale and I would have bought it but I didn't know what to do with it! Now I do, I will look for it next time. Love your blog! I share tips from you with all my friends and family!

Oh my gawwsshhh...I just love your blog. Somehow I stumbled upon it today (actually via southern hospitalitys blog) and have fallen in love. Southern hospitality featured a link to my kitchen on her blog yesterday and as I perused my way thru her posts, I found your link. Again, I'm in heaven! We decorate our home in a cottage/costal flair so your updates are just my style. I'm interested in purchasing one of your moms shell boxes in white as well as some of your inspiration jars. Is this possible? If so, can you let me know how I go about doing this? Feel free to email me via my blog or directly at Angie@AngelicaGraceDesigns.com
I love the shell boxes and think that one would go perfectly in our Indiana home or in our beach home in Bonita Springs, FL. Either way, they are phenomenal. I also collect glass jars so those caught my eye as well.

Thanks so much! I can't wait to continue browsing your old blog posts. So fun!

Blessings, Angie Seaman

Very cute finds!! I like the the door knocker however I find that pushing it up rather than down is opposite of how door knockers are usually designed? maybe it's just me....

Unknown said...

Thank you so much for sharing. I love the little door knocker! It is precious.

Thanks so much for this post. It's a great deal for all of us having you do the shopping for us :) Appreciate it! Love the door knocker and think that would make a great mother's day gift. I'm thinking it would be great on my mom's potting shed!

I'm back! Just a quick question Layla. How would YOU use this cast iron door knocker? I'm thinking of ordering it for my Mom. Do you think it would look good mounted outside the door on her covered porch or better inside as cute whimsical wall art OR mounted on the potting shed?! whew... I'm trying to figure out what she would do with it before I order it. Thanks in advance!!

Katy said...

Neat neat items, thanks for the info. All such fun ideas for gifts.

Hope you've had a lovely weekend!!

Cannot wait to see what's been going on at the "Half Note".

Meghann said...
