Valentine's Day Decor 2019

Just a quick post to share some Valentine decor...

 Little pops of red in the living room...

A Valentine welcome...

 Love how my new floral lamp looks with the Valentine decorations...

Cute little heart pillow...

If you look closely, you'll see Finn napping...

I still love that framed print to the left of the stove...

Here's a close up...

It looks kinda Valentine-ish with the frosted cake and red and pink flowers. :)

My new Williams Sonoma dish towels arrived just in time for Valentine's Day...

I know I've talked about these WS striped dish towels before, but they are seriously the best ones! They come in a 4 pack for $20. So at $5 each, that's Target prices, y'all! Lol! I got free shipping too. I don't know if it was just a special that day or what, but I didn't question it. :) 

HAPPY VALENTINE'S DAY!!!

Dylan's New Apartment and a Glass Nail File

We had such a fun time when we took a little trip to visit Dylan last weekend. I thought I'd share this pic of his kitchen...

I was so impressed with how clean his place is! I love the dark cabinets, granite counters and grey wood floors. 


He ordered these cool coasters. Each one has the shape of a different race track on it! 

We tried a new Mexican restaurant for lunch and loved it! Those quesadillas were huge! I got 3 meals out of them. :) 

My HEB didn't have these new cookies in stock, but thankfully we pass a million HEB stores on the way to Dylan's and I finally got my hands on the new cherry almond cookies...

And no mini road trip is complete without a stop at Buc-ee's for kolaches and chewy pralines...

 I had to share this glass nail file I got. It's amazing and they are supposed to last forever. Glass nail files are a new thing for me and I'm so impressed with how well they work. I love this brand because they have cute little sayings on them. I picked "books and coffee" because that is my life, lol! 

I'll be stuck at the house today, awaiting a couple of deliveries. Lip Smackers and a new cookware set, if you're interested, lol! Have you tried to buy new pots and pans lately? It's so confusing with all the different choices out there. 

Thanks for stopping by!

Inexpensive Earring Storage

So here's my DIY earring storage idea...

You take one 3 drawer box from Walmart ($13)...

Add a couple of $2 ice cube trays to each drawer...

And presto! You have a custom-ish storage area for your jewelry! 

 Each drawer holds 2 ice cube trays and each tray has 16 compartments...

A view from the top with all 3 drawers open. 

Perfect, right? And so much cheaper than those selling for $75 or more at "organizing stores." :) AND...the $75 ones only had about a dozen compartments. 

I organized them by color... all my gold and pink earrings.

 My silver, blue and white earrings.

 And every other color, along with some bracelets. 

They did have cheaper ice cube trays, but they were an aqua blue color and I really wanted the all white look, so I splurged on the $2 ones. :) 

They had all different size ice cube trays too. They had really large ones that would hold big pieces of jewelry. And oblong ones that would be great for bracelets. And of course you could store other things too. The possibilities are endless! 

You might remember when I bought these...

I still use them to store my necklaces. There are pockets on the back for earrings, but I ran out of pockets because of my earring addiction, hence the need for a new storage idea. :) 

 I love that the ice cube trays keep all my earrings separated so they won't get tangled and you could use them to store/organize so many other things too. Thanks for stopping by!
