Decorating Deal: Paisley Throw Pillow

Last Saturday morning, I mentioned that I still needed to find some throw pillows for our couch. On Saturday afternoon, I went to TJ Maxx HomeGoods with my MIL. I'm in love. The prices were amazing, and I definitely plan on visiting the store again. The sooner the better.

I found this paisley pillow that is comprised of the perfect colors for our living room:


It was half-off. It was meant to be.

The problem is that I only found one. I need two. I called another HomeGoods location on Saturday night to see if they had any in stock. I thought I could just give the woman the style number on the price tag and she'd be able to look it up in the store's computer system, but they apparently don't operate that way. She put me on hold for five minutes and searched their pillow stock. No luck. I felt pretty badly about making her search through the pillows, so I decided not to call any other stores. I didn't want to put anyone else through the same process.

I can't find them online, either, but I just know there has to be another sitting on a store shelf somewhere. If you find a Newport Layton Calista throw pillow, snatch it up and send it my way.

Awesome.

Whoa, three posts in one day.

$30 roundtrip tickets to London anyone? (Scroll to the bottom of the article to read about the deal.) We can thank my cousin, who writes for the Wall Street Journal, for mentioning this in her latest article. I can't make use of this bargain, but if your initials are MEK you (or your friends!) might be interested ...

Good Deal: Hallmark Store Closing

We stopped by the Hallmark store at Southdale tonight and were surprised to see it is going out of business. Everything - with the exception of some jewelry - is 75% off. We paid just over $7 for cards that we would have paid nearly $29 for had they not been on sale. The selection was awesome ... perfect time to stock up!

I love a good deal.
