Saturday Shopping with Me and My Friends #7

Welcome to Saturday Shopping at this Small House

It’s the third Saturday of the month and I’m shopping with my friends! I never know what they are going to share so it’s always a surprise for me. They also share things that end up in my cart too!

While I do not do much decorating for Valentine’s Day, I found a few things that I might get to make the day special.

These are the things that I have in My Cart This Week

• I found these fun heart ice cube trays at William Sonoma and thought that the heart alone or maybe a fruit-flavored heart ice cube could elevate any drink for Valentine’s Day.
• This pink etched glassware has been something I’ve loved for some time now. How pretty would it be on a Valentine’s Day Tablescape?
• While I’m not sure “Handy” would appreciate it, it might be fun to have a frilly romantic duvet for our bed. It would transition well into the spring and even the summer.
• Another thing that can transition well from Valentine’s Day into spring is faux tulips. They make them so real-looking and they can be used longer than real.

What My Friends Are Loving

Cindy – Reinvented Delaware

• With the cold temperatures and snow that we have been having this week, this adorable electric fireplace heater has come in handy. I keep it in our bedroom with our faux fireplace mantle. It keeps the bedroom nice and toasty especially on the nights we are burning wood in our real fireplace out in the living room. We’ve been doing a lot of that this week while having a warm bowl of soup made in my enamel-covered cast iron Dutch oven. It’s the perfect way to spend a wintery, snowy evening!
• Hanging just above the real wood-burning fireplace is our Samsung Smart TV. I’ve been purchasing some new art to put on the TV for the winter season. A forest of snowy pines is just as pretty and this gorgeous tall pine tree covered in snow. I’m also enjoying this snow-covered cityscape. Which is your favorite? I’ve bought them all since they only cost a couple of dollars!
• I’ve also been searching for art for the soon-to-be spring season! I bought the gorgeous rose and berry art, these lovely pale pink roses and these dogwood branches look so pretty on the screen! I will hold off a bit before I add them to the TV 🙂
• Last week I worked on some Valentine’s decor for our home and I picked up some faux real touch roses. They are so pretty! It put me in mind of ordering some real touch tulips for the spring too. While I was on Amazon, I decided to replace my 30-year-old paper cutter with a new one. It’s the little things, right?

Diane – South House Designs

New year, new beginning, new outlook. And as I am finishing tucking away all the holiday finery, I’m looking at our home with fresh eyes. And there are some specific spots that need (and deserve) some help!

• Starting with the kitchen and dining area. With the whole clan here for almost a week, these two areas of our home put in their time providing great meals and a comfy setting for games, conversation, and more. I think they deserve some love starting with these gorgeous sleek canisters. that have stolen my heart. With these sweet scoops to go with the canisters.
• To up the pantry organization a notch, I NEED these cord wranglers for sure.
• And then for all-purpose serving and decor, I think this round, handled marble serving board would be on the constant reshuffle, serving nibbles, and then as a centerpiece tray, then as a backdrop against the backsplash. Can’t you see that centerpiece with a couple of these candle holders and this sweet faux potted plant and a charming handcrafted piece like this bowl?
• I can’t forget table linens! Love these new chambray placemats for Spring’s arrival — great quality at a great price! I can’t go wrong with these white napkins (hemstitched and 20″). And how about “fun” napkins too.
• And one more goodie I’ve been wanting — a brushed gold cocktail shaker!

I hope that you enjoyed shopping with us today!

If you made a purchase, please know that we all appreciate it as it helps in a small way to support our small businesses.

Peace & Love,
