preppy flip flops and maude asbury....

so excited, i finally bought a maude ashbury magnet memo'ry board! isn't it cute! i already posted a save the date reminder for later this summer!...love it!!!

now i just need to order some more fleur-de-lis hanging hooks from ballard designs. like the ones show in the photos below. i have 2 sets, of which 2 hold my kolene spicher bra & boxer prints and my kolene spicher perfume bottles....great prints hanging in my bathrooms!
can you see....i'd rather have the memo'ry board hanging off one of these than the stupid nail i am using right now! ha! ha! not bad for $32.00..hee! hee!

CRAP!...i just checked out ballard designs website and they don't have them for sale anymore! CRAP! CRAP! CRAP! i certainly can't break up my other 2 set of prints! what am i going to do? any suggestions? anyone know where i can find similar fleur-de-lis hooks? i am sure i will figure something out! DRATS!

also, i had to share the other purchases i made today. what? well, emily over at champagnelaceandloveliness post from pink and green friday had a pair of cute sandals from talbot's. i posted thinking they were $98 - $128 in price. clearly i was WRONG!

these ruffled ribbon flip flops are a mere $44.00! seriously....YUP!

i my 20% savings coupon i got in the mail and ended up paying $35.20/per pair! STEAL!!!!
instead of buying them at the store less than a mile from me, i called my store back in michigan and did a charge hold. cheaper tax and i would rather give the business to the store in michigan than pay 10.25% chicago sales tax....so i will pick them up in two weeks, can't wait! i can be cheap or "frugal" when i want to be, ha! ha!

such a deal...$44.00 less 20% -- SOLD!!

i bought 2 pairs including the pink and green pair below:

and of course i couldn't pass up this pair in black and white:
of course, i bought them without trying them on! i just hope they are comfortable! so cute and preppy too!hope you have a wonderful evening! dinner was great, but i did not have the surf and turf planned! oh well, there is always next time! we had a change in plans and went some place out to eat....hubby isn't feeling so hot tonight! boo! hoo!

have a great night!

OH WOW! I'm so impressed with your finds, those hooks for your adorable bathroom prints are precious and what a steal on your flip flops! So excited for you, I'm sure they'll be comfy and oh so cute!

BTW I will be in Chicago this week for work with a little down time - any preppy haunts I MUST visit?? XOXO

Sorry hubby isn't feeling well, enjoy the rest of your weekend Miss PLD! :)

Those flip flops are so adorable!! That's awesome that you could order them in Michigan, I think that was a good idea to give business to them!

The fleur de lis is the flower of Louisville, so maybe you can find them at a local retailer here? There's tons of fleur de lis things in this city. I will keep my eye out for ya!!

I found this shop on line. They have Fleur De Lis hooks, that you could spray paint gold to match. http://www.frenchquartermarket.com/fleur-de-lis-home-decor.aspx.

Great score on the sandals!
