black friday buys

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?)


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.


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.

  1. 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!

  6. Beautiful 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.
