The first was this oil painting I had been contemplating for about 2 weeks, but it had lacked a price tag up until today so I assumed it was priced well over $100. Turns out it was $40 so I didn't even think twice! I just love all the birds.
The second painting is this watercolor dated 1924. The dainty frame was what originally attracted me to it, but the painting itself will be a really charming addition to all the ships.
And speaking of great finds, yesterday I had an absolute blast spending the afternoon with Frugal Contessa, aka Angelica! We literally spent hours in Anthropoligie, snapping pictures for project ideas, trying on dozens of outfits and deliberating over what to purchase. My favorite purchase of the day? this cloche hat! It was on clearance for $19 (and no, it isn't bent or discolored, my mirror is just really mucked up LOL). We both decided on jackets and tops, but it was a tough call!
Have a great Monday night!

I didn't realize the hat was such a deal! It's so sweet on you. And the top is way better on you than it was on me. Yay for a great shopping trip. I had a blast. I'll share my finds soon.
um, the hat is adorable but that top! LOVE IT! where is that from?
I am ALL about hats and I LOVE your new one!! I just got 2 from Urban Outfitters a couple weeks ago when I was in Nashville!! I am such a hat gal - looks like you are too! And I agree, love your whole outfit, boots are great too!
Yay Angelica, can't wait to see your finds!
Kelly, the top is from Anthro as well~
Glad there are so many other hat loving ladies out there! I always love the amazing hats they used to wear in all the old movies, kind of feels romantic to wear one too.
So cute!
PS- I still want those boots! :)
i live in ms and wish i knew where to find all of your bargains here! i love your blog.
I love those paintings! =)
I have a question, my mamaw gave me her bed a little over a year ago. It isn't antique or anything, but it is solid oak. It's a four post bed, but you have the option of not putting the posts up as well. I have been wanting to paint the bed white. My husband says "no way" (lol) but I definitely want to! If I really really tell him I want to paint it, he would give me the okay too lol.
The bed is similar to this bed:

The bed is in the guest bedroom. We only have the bed. I was thinking about getting a dresser and painting it white as well, so they could all match. lol What is your take on it? Would you paint it or not? thanks for reading!
Thanks so much for having a wonderful blog! =)
Love the hat...I too, am a huge lover of hats...winter hats, summer hats, you name it I have a hat for the occasion! Great find at Anthropolgie! I love their stuff...not just clothing, but they have hand towels that I use in the half bath.
LOVE the whole outfit!
Great buys Holly! You will have to post another picture of your updated stair case wall.
The hat is super cute! I have never been to an anthro. I drool over stuff online and almost purchased from them a couple of times. I think we have one a hour or so from us, I am going to have it check it out in person!! :O)
xo,
Kelly
