Score!

I got an email on Saturday informing me that Oak Brook Z Gallerie is moving and everything in the store is 60% off. I got really rather excited, thinking that maybe they would have my most favorite bedding ever for cheap...
Z Gallerie Sophia Bedding

I hightailed it over there that afternoon. I really should've taken a photo when I arrived just so you could appreciate the chaos. The place looked like it was being looted, the selection was pitiful and there were crazy people snatching things and yelling obscenities about mirrors (I might have been one of them). I had a sinking feeling that it would be a fruitless trip but I got stuck in anyway and ran walked swiftly toward a couple of big cardboard boxes that looked like they were full of pillows. I dug down to the bottom and then the heavens opened and Jesus handed me the very last Sophia duvet cover. (Okay, not really. But I did find the last one.) It was $169.95 and I paid $50. Eeep!

I also picked up a couple of these frames for S's big boy room - a 5x7 in green and a 4x6 in orange for $10 total (reduced from $27).

And a box, which looks like a book ($10 down from $25). Why? Because a) it's turquoise and b) I can use it to sort things. And I like sorting things.

I almost bought a mirror too but thought better of it (I have more than a few mirrors and half of them aren't even hanging on the walls yet). Then I extracted myself and nipped into Loft, where I picked up a cute outfit too.

On Sunday, I got a lie-in and some free time because J took S to the Children's Museum in the morning, then I went to another Z Gallerie and to pick up the matching shams and took a sewing class at JoAnns in the afternoon. Oh, and it was warm (finally), so I wore my new outfit. So it was generally a rather awesome weekend. Hope yours was just as good!
