Perhaps it's because I'm a prepster at heart. Or, perhaps it's my traditional side that loves to come out. Who knows. Truth be told, I am just smitten over the Union Jack flag these days. I have elaborate plans (that of course haven't kicked off yet) to paint a table top with this design. For now, I'm very satisfied with this little find from a lovely little boutique. Maybe you have heard of it? Target. While I unrealistically wish I had more free time to go do shopping at some of the stores that are on my "to do" list ... rather, I find those moments of leisure shopping and finding the "perfect" item just don't happen these days.
The moment I laid eyes on the ottoman on the website, I went on a hunt, and I do mean hunt, to locate one. Not available online .. drats. So, to the stores I went. Scowering high and low, I lucked into one - and only one - not to far from home. I think I dove at the end cap of the aisle when I saw one little stool remaining on the display.
After an elaborate hunt for a manager at customer service since there was no price tag on it (of course) AND a 10% discount for a smudge of chalk on the top of it (didn't hardly even notice), this cute thing made it's way out to my car for a big price tag of $14. Repeat ... FOURTEEN DOLLARS.
For now, she's found a semi-perm home in the hall. I've got to shuffle a few knick knacks around here and the dining room before I'm totally satisfied, but for now ... she just makes me thrilled when I step foot in the front foyer!
