isn't this cute....

hello, hope your weekend is going well!

as promised, below is a photo of the pillow i picked up at calico corners. isn't it cute! i love the fabric and decorative trim around the edges. i think it looks great! i probably should have also picked up some additional fabric just in case i need it some day, oh well! now i have another excuse to go back, ha! ha!

i also picked up the the ginger jar below over at homegoods. i really wanted the one in dark red, but it was $39.99 and i found this one on sale for $14.99 --- guess which one i bought! ha! ha! the cheaper of the two, of course! i will just keep checking back, hoping the red one will still be around when it's on sale! the retail price for the ginger jar is $70.00, so i think i got a pretty sweet deal!

as you can see my trio of rabbits is surrounding the ginger jar. still figuring out what i am going to do with the ginger jar? i guess for now it will sit on my dresser.

then i stopped over at whole foods with my lilly pulitzer market tote....lots of compliments, of course! ha! ha! bought the thick bulk bacon for claire robinson's spinach carbonara, which i posted about here. instead of using spinach pasta i bought some fresh buitoni linguine [at jewel-osco, not whole foods] - sorry, i am not italian and do not make pasta! can't wait to try the recipe tomorrow!

have a great evening!
