Long story short... My daughter loves piano, so my husband found a used keyboard on Craigslist. We picked it up in Manhattan Beach (about 40 minutes from our house) and there's a HomeGoods nearby. My husband, being the kind, generous, and patient man that he is, hung out with my four-year-old, while I got to shop.

It turns out that HomeGoods is owned by the same people as TJ Maxx, where I went a few weeks ago, so it was no surprise that they had many of the same items, but much much more. The store is heaven if you love parties, entertaining, and decorating. I felt infinitely creative just walking through the door.

Here are some of my favorite finds...

Perfect for a baby shower or tea party $12.99.

Mod cake plate $12.99.

Great for serving water on a long table or putting flowers in. $5.99 each.

Each tea pot was $9.99. You could dress these up for an Alice in Wonderland tea party.

I've always wanted one of these to add lemon and basil to my water. $16.99.

You can't tell from this photo but these are huge. $7.99 - $14.99

I'm always looking for a new cake stand $14.99

One of my white essentials. $12.99

Silver is more expensive, but I thought just one. $19.99

Beehive drink dispenser $19.99

So many good finds at HomegGoods. If only there was one closer to our house... Actually, maybe it's a good thing there's not. :)

What are your favorite finds at HomeGoods?

 

 

 

 

 

What can you buy at Jilly Bean Kids? The better question is what can't you buy?!

They sell everything you could ever want for your party -- gable boxes, paper straws, favor bags, baker's twine, tags, nuts cups, carnival tickets, washi tape, craft supplies, giant balloons... Are you tired yet because I could keep going. :)

Glue stick

Rotary fabric cutter/Pinking shears - Smart idea.

X-acto Knife

Silhouette Craft Cutting Tool - One day...

Cricut Personal Electronic Cutter - One day for this one, too...
