Homegoods and Blog Run In!

I am SO happy to report that Henry is officially being transferred to Gillette Children's on Monday! What an answer to prayer! While he still lacks use of the left side of his body we are VERY hopeful that with therapy and rehab this will come back with time. God has blessed us and I have faith he will continue to bless this happy and energetic boy!

Yesterday while the boys were in school I took my grandmother to Homegoods. It was great to get out of the house for a bit plus MN Homegoods was just FULL of preppy items! They had Vineyard Vines belts for $2 (that is like half a latte ladies!), a few J Crew shoes and one dress I looked at, and LOTS OF PINK AND GREEN goodness! I totally forgot to whip out my camera until the very end of the trip, but here area few treats!

I just adored the pink and green Easter topiary china I found. I wanted to buy a set, but thought it would be better to look for this in Dallas (no sense in hauling it back).Isn't everything darling? I loved the plates and the tea set too! The serving plate was just $14.99 and the dinner plates were just $8.99.
These frames would have been perfect for my room in boarding school! They were only $6.99!! While the pink and green were my favorites there was also a teal and lime turtle frame.
Homegoods had also just received a fresh Caspari shipment. I LOADED up on the pink and green turtle napkins (I am talking SIX packages- they are SO Lilly and discontinued so do not judge), the gold derby napkins (I want to have a Kentucky Derby party and use these and Lilly paper products) and even grabbed some green and lime turtle napkins. I forgot to take a photo of these, but know I have posted the turtle napkins on here before. Then while walking the aisles I saw someone else with impeccable preppy taste- they also had the pink and green turtle napkins in their cart. I looked up to see who this perfect match might be and IT WAS A FELLOW BLOGGER! I have adored reading Waiting For Lucy since this summer. Lucy is simply adorable and always decked out in Lilly. I love reading about her adventures and felt the MN connection. I honestly could not believe my eyes when we ran into one another; I mean what were the chances?! Lucy is simply darling in person and so sweet, talkative and outgoing. I hope that my future daughter can be just like her- clothes, preppy love and all!
After Homegoods we just popped into Old Navy for fun. I did not anticipate buying anything at all, but I could not resist this jacket. They had it in hot pink, we are talking a Lilly hot pink, for a mere $25. Grandmother and I decided I could not leave MN without it- I had to take advantage of not paying clothing sales tax! From the shopping to the wonderful news from Duluth yesterday was a simply FANTASTIC day!!
