Sporadic Shopper

I'm not a die-hard shopper. I'd probably consider myself a sporadic shopper - meaning there are days, weeks, even months when I have NO interest in shopping, and then one day I wake up, and all I want to do is shop. This weekend was one of those weekends.

The weather was gorgeous so I tried to enjoy the sun as much as possible, but when the sun went down, I did some shopping. I finally bought a couch. My mom will tell you that I've been looking for a couch for over a year now, but Friday night I decided to bite the bullet. I knew Macy's would be having a sale so I headed over, found one I liked in 30 mins, picked a color and ordered it. Unfortunately, it's not on their website and I forgot to take a pic, so I'll have to take one the next time I'm there. The couch is supposed to be delivered in July, but that's just an estimate, so let's hope it arrives some time this summer.

Once I got the couch, I of course started thinking about end tables, lamps, and coffee tables. Macy's had some cute things, but they're so expensive so I headed to HomeGoods instead. They didn't have any end tables or coffee tables that I liked, but they did have some cute lamps. I figured what's the point of getting the lamps if I don't have the couch yet, so I decided to hold off. Doesn't sound like a successful shopping trip but what you don't know is I filled by basket with a whole lot of smaller items, like this cupcake pen, some sheets for my bed, and small pic for my bathroom, three cute tops, and more...so I did quite well. :)

While we're on the topic of shopping, I wanted to introduce everyone to Etsy. I'm probably 5 years behind the times, but my co-worker told me about it this weekend and then it was mentioned on one of my favorite decorating blogs. Etsy is the world's most vibrant handmade marketplace where you can buy and sell handmade or vintage items. They seriously have some of the cutest stuff, and most of it is reasonably priced because it's paid directly to the artist or jewelry maker.

Enjoy!
