Ribbon Spool

One of the things that I got for Christmas was this multi-tiered spool of ribbon.  Each level rotates independently.  The wooden spools were made in India, and I found it at TJ Maxx!  I think it's clever and pretty.  (And I love the ribbon.)

Merrell Christmas to Me!

I found my Christmas present today at TJ Maxx!  Merrell Grassbow Sport waterproof hiking shoes in Ponderosa Pine green - retail $130, but I got them for $70.  Next summer at YW Camp I will be immune to stinky, wet shoes!

Eccolo

I saw some really lovely journals at TJ Maxx the other day.  They were made by Eccolo.  This bee journal is from their web site.  Isn't it so pretty?

Shelf Paper

Our house has about 10 different kinds of shelf paper - all from the '60s (and possibly '70s).  It's terrible.  I looked all over for some cute new shelf paper and finally found some at TJ Maxx.  This design is by Laura Ashley.  Our bathrooms have nice big linen closets.  This shelf looks so much better now - don't you think?  (Top=before/bottom=after.)

TJ Maxx Rug

I found this rug at TJ Maxx and had to have it for our second bathroom.  We're working with a Turkish theme, and I thought it was perfect.  This photo does not do the color justice.  It's a beautiful wool rug - and it cost about the same as a regular bath rug!
