{Shopping} Amazon Prime Purchases

 I'm joining  Andrea at Living On Cloud Nine and Jill at Doused in Pink for their monthly Amazon Prime link up.  It's been a few months for me so I have a lot of purchases.

I wanted to soften up our new pleated shades in the primary bedroom and these linen like drapes are gorgeous!
We got these simple rods to hang them on.

I've been reading about the healing qualities of castor oil and wanted to try it. The bottle is HUGE so I've decanted some to a smaller bottle.

I purchased this dress for some spring/summer occasions.


We needed some easier to open produce keepers and I got this set.  They've been working out well.
I wanted some dish towels that didn't start unraveling and found this set. They are a little smaller than I'm used to but are working well.


I've been trying to do little tweaks around the house that make me happy. Having a matching set of utensils has been one of them. I like the neutral khaki color!


I brew iced tea in mason jars and have been wanting these wide mouth pour spouts for awhile. 
I had been trying to thrift a pair of denim overalls but couldn't find any that worked for me. I love having a new pair and these have some nice stretch to them.


I got these hangers for the laundry room to hang up wet clothing. I wanted plastic clips and these fit the bill!

Easter in NYC

We had a quick visit to NYC to see our girls on Easter.

Morning fit check!  It was warm enough for Birks!
We arrived in Williamsburg a little early and got to City Girl #2's apartment. We dropped some things off for her (including my old pantry containers) and took a walk.
We got coffee and stopped at this dog park to watch the cute pups.
We picked up City Girl #1 and drove to Greenpoint.
We had brunch here. I had the shakshuka.
Family ❤️
We walked down the waterfront. The weather was beautiful so it was really nice to just walk around the city.
We stopped for more coffee and this was CG #2's matcha latte.
One more shot before we had to drop them off and go home.
We were back in time for a walk to the beach and some zen time by the ocean.

{Shopping} Spring Walmart Finds

 I stopped in at Walmart to pick up some more storage containers for my pantry and saw so many cute things for Spring.

There was a whole line of outdoor entertaining things from Mainstays by Becky G & Alejandra.
I didn't know who they were but I looked them up and Becky G. is a singer and Alejandra is her mom. They've done a beautiful collaboration with Walmart that is inspired by their family's journey and commitment to social empowerment.
The pieces all mixed and matched.
I was thrilled to see this kind of beverage glass but made out of non breakable materials.
 The price point was so reasonable for things too.  Everything is under $20.
Cute outdoor wine glasses.
There was a whole wall of more of their home goods.
The Pioneer Woman dishes are so pretty too.
I noticed that a box of 3 wooden Mason jar lids was $13.42 so the set I found at Dollar Tree was such a steal!
While in the organizing aisle, I picked up two of these shoe organizers. I've since gone back for two more. They area snap to put together and really make the closets looked pulled together while keeping our shoes off of the floor.
I was so impressed with the planters in the garden section. I was way too overwhelmed to pick anything out and I didn't know what sizes I needed.
These graphic black and white beauties also caught my eye.
I love getting a new pair of pj's for the season and WM's Joyspun line is so soft and the styles are on point.
So cute!
I found this set on sale and I love it.  I can definitely wear this shirt as more than pj's!
They had some unique Disney fashions and I was tempted by the adorable Marie tee shirt.

Did you know they carried The Cheesecake Factory's "Famous Brown Bread"?!  I didn't pick it up this trip but I'm keeping it in mind for another time.

{Thrifting} More Thrifting for Spring and Easter!

The last few weeks have been a thrifting bonanza for me. I discovered a few new (to me) stores and went back to some old faithfuls too!
This was a little Goodwill haul.  I like collecting ocean/beach themed books as decor. I usually remove the covers, but this one is too good to take off. I hung the mirror in our guest room and knew City Girl #2 would love this mug.
I found this sweet Easter haul at a small, but mighty little shop.
Here's how I styled the bunny plate.
Another GW haul--graphic Guns N Roses t-shirt, goth Mickey and Minnie tank top, vintage nightgown, gingham shorts and an Athleta work out top.
I had to return the gingham shorts but picked up a different pair of shorts that I liked (and kept!).
I found another small haul from two new spots we discovered on the weekend.
I'm enjoying my morning coffee in my new mug!
I found this cute romper...
...and some frames for CG #2's apartment.
They were half off which made them an even better deal!
This was a recent thrifting haul: brand new adult coloring book, an Easter lot of goodies, Yankee Candle plate, Madewell t-shirt and a beautiful carved wooden tray.
This was what was in the Easter lot. I donated most of it but kept a few of the items.
This was something that did NOT come home with me but I found it amusing.
I did some Facebook Marketplace shopping over the weekend and scored this table for my daughter.
I also scored this beautiful buffet to replace one that we had in our living room.  It's such a good upgrade. I can't wait to get it in place and style it up!
