Just Going Through Some Mail (the printed kind)

First, I must apologize.  I have made nothing in the last two days.  I promise to do better next week.  So today, I am totally relying on other people's work.  I get a ton of catalogs, but I do enjoy looking through them.  You never know where that next little bit of inspiration will come from.  I was flipping through Talbots and look what I found:

That second sandal is Michael Miller's Turquoise Gabriella and the bottom one is Brown Carnival Bloom.  You can purchase the sandals here, if you are so inclined.  I think they are really cute, but I can't stand to have that piece between my toes.

Yesterday, a Target catalog came.  Yes, Target, the marketing genuises that they are, now also send out a catalog.  This is the second one I've received.  The catalog focuses on their apparel and home furnishings, with a small insert on their bath, body and cosmetics lines.  Anyway,  I loved their side tables.

The little black bentwood table in the front is $14.99.  The black round pedestal table is $79.99.  The inlaid table in the back right is $99.99.  It's no Goodwill, but its certainly cheaper than another home catalog I receive with the initials P.B.

And look at this cute lamp and pillows:

The lampshade is $12.99, the base is $24.99.  The pillows are $19.99.  It makes me want to enter a blue and white phase.  In fact, that just gave me a brilliant idea (thank you, Caroline).  I'll compile a collection of items that are blue and white all in one place, so you can be inspired too.  And I'll call it Inspirations.   Wow, this post was productive.

Oh my gosh. You haven't made anything for TWO DAYS! You should be really ashamed of yourself.

Can't respond. Too busy hanging my head in shame.

Wow. You pulled all that together pretty darn fast. I think blue and white are so cheerful and classic. I love a good looking mattress ticking.

That Target lamp base is pretty sweet, too.

Love your new "Inspiration" section! Pulling that together is a project in itself, so enjoy your little break. Maybe clean your office instead?? Kidding!

I love all the items you posted here! I need to get a new couch so I can get these pillows. I'm really disappointed with the couch we have, it doesn't go with any of the items I like now! Maybe I should reupholster it...hmm...

I just got a catalog from JoAnn Fabric in the mail today, and the cover had navy and white prints all over it. Hmmm... navy is back!
