My Black Friday was spent in a town I knew nothing about, which left my Friday shopping to be done online. That may have been wiser, but there's only so much time I can spend on the internet hunting for deals before my eyeballs burn.
It saddens me that I didn't find any exceptionally good home decorating deals. Rugs USA did have an awesome sale, but I figured that sale will come again. What about you? Did you score any great deals? I guess I wasn't really on the hunt for deals because I didn't have anything in particular I was needing or looking for.
I did score one great deal with fabric, and I have to say I wasn't super impressed with the sales online. They were the typical 20% off, which I am not sure why I still bought fabric. :/ I think I have a disease.
Here's what I bought.
I already owned these Geocentric prints, but I needed more yardage for a larger project. (Does anyone else hate buying prints they already own?)
When I saw this African Butterfly fabric by Alexander Henry I immediately imagined this framed and placed on Jenny Komenda's (of Little Green Notebook) gallery wall. I figured for $7 it was worth it.
See??? How cool would that be?
Or maybe even hanging out in her children's room.
This buy was completely out of my comfort zone, but I had a vision and bought it. A burning bush told me to. I do admit that this Party Parade by Michael Miller is cute in person. I bought Sarah Jane's Out to Sea because 1. I love chevrons 2. It's water markings looked cool.
Pink Chalk Fabrics had Nursery Versery for 50% off. (!!!) WHY DID I NOT BUY MORE OF THIS CRAP????!!!!!
And here is my fabric pull for my next project. Totally 80's I know. I'm challenging myself with this one.

I wanted Simpatico for a long time. I even blogged about it here. I finally got two prints. I still want the mint colored ones too.

Great fabric. I am an odd person who doesn't really like to shop. I like searching for the perfect item or furniture when I have a specific project in mind, but shopping aimlessly is no fun for me. Of course this means I always miss the best deals!

Ooooohhhh....I LOVE those sympatico prints!! Where did you get them?!? I'm looking for a fun and funky pattern like that in exactly those colors for the kids bath. Loving the funky butterflies too! it would make some super cool wall art and I could totally see that at Jenny's house (in love with her too:)
ReplyDeleteWow that butterfly fabric is gorgous and the one with the kids walking...I'd love to find that! Good job!
ReplyDeleteGreat finds! I just got some Simpatico too.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful fabrics - can't wait to see what you make! I perused some of the online sales as well but wasn't too blown away. I took advantage of the j crew 25% off sale since their stuff rarely goes on (good) sales. I also thought about taking advantage of the rugs usa sale, but decided to wait until I actually need a new rug.
