Our friends came in from New York so we decided to take a trip to the zoo. We spent the whole day looking at animals and catching up on each other’s lives. But once we were finished with the zoo we decided to visit the Butterfly Garden.
I have never been here before so it was a nice surprise when we entered the giant greenhouse….
I love watching Youtube videos in the morning while I am walking on my treadmill. I recently saw this video from One Kings Lane. The co-founder went antique shopping with designer Bunny Williams in Belgium. It is absolutely stupendous! Enjoy the video.
This past weekend my family and I took a small trip up to our fashion mall. I was shopping at another store when my husband called my cell and said, “You have to come to this store”! I journeyed up the stairs and then down another set of stairs and came toRestoration Hardware.
All I have to say is, WOW!!! Just look at my photos…..
We visited a few places in South Carolina. We went to the Market Commonfor some outdoor shopping and the mall located in Columbia. These are some of the items that I looked at while shopping in South Carolina.
I found these gorgeous swan candles at Anthropologie.
They were only $5! I didn’t like the scent of the candle
so I cleaned them out and I will use them for storage.
I took a peek inside this book. It has beautiful photos and wonderful recipes!
The earrings in the middle are the ones I purchased from Salon Edge.
They have gorgeous jewelry and decor.

This is a really cute store! We have a few here in Indy but I was curious about the one in South Carolina. They had the same items we did but the store was much bigger. So, of course I wanted to peruse around. See my photos below thanks for reading!!!
Walking into the store. Love the chandeliers of course!!
Cute starfish bracelet!
Oh my the clutches!!!
They sell clothes!! Animal print is such a neutral. I love it!
This was a great statement piece.
These are the earrings that I purchased. The top pair is from Charming Charlie.

I did quite a bit of shopping while in South Carolina. One place we visited while walking on Main Street in Myrtle Beach was The Wildflower.It is a vintage boutique that carries lots of different things. The owner is a “picker” and goes to a lot of estate sales.
The one thing that caught my eye was the statue below. I have wanted one of these for sometime now. I saw one of my favorite designers Tobi Fairleywith something like this in her living room and she put her Chanel pearls on it and I thought that was just fantastic!
Below are some of the items I saw and the statue that I purchased. I call her “The Madame”. I also posted the decorating video from Tobi Fairly and P. Allen Smith that gave me this idea. Have a great weekend!
My statue called “The Madame”. I only paid $20 for her.
I put my Chanel pearls on her too!!
She had beautiful seashells. I loved this one.
It reminded me of the seashells that Aerin Lauder has in her home.
She had loads and loads of vintage earrings.
Of course I purchased a pair.
The last pair with the blue is the pair I purchased from her.
Whenever we travel I always find a Goodwill store wherever we go. I love going to Goodwill stores in different states! I figured each state will have different items for sale and that is a great opportunity to get some lovely pieces in my home. I visited one in South Carolina, of course. I didn’t find any clothes but I found the picture and floral arrangements below.
My husband always gives me a hard time about faux flower arrangements but when we got in line to pay for my items a few ladies were “eyeballing” my arrangements. One lady even spoke up and said, “Well, I didn’t see those back there”. I just smiled and looked at my husband. I love my pieces and will enjoy having them in my home. If you missed my Goodwill shopping in New York post read it here.
My Andre Meyer picture and peony arrangements that I purchased at the Goodwill.
I paid $10 for the picture and $3.75 for each arrangement.
Here is a better photo of the picture. I love it!
Do you see the villa in the back?
I hung it in my upstairs hallway. Now I am just waiting on my husband to paint the walls.
Hint, hint!
