Okio B Designs: target

Although I'm definitely not ready for snow, found this little cutie in the $1 aisle at Target yesterday. They have some really adorable stuff this year. Check it out next time you're at Target!

I'm just about done with the finishing touches on our beachy porch theme. I have a few more things to add like Dollar Store sand buckets, candle holder jars (with sand), citronella candle buckets and the anchor plaques. Here we are as of today.

We spend a lot of time on our porch swing. I bought the cushion from The Christmas Tree Shops. It's not included in my $100 budget as I bought it before I set my budget/theme. It was $29.99. The pillows are from Pottery Barn outlet. We picked them up last year.

I've shown this table and some of these pieces before. Excuse my husband's beer cans in the FIRE bucket. Doh!

Here is the whale my Dad made. Pesky shadow in the photo doesn't do it justice. He did a great job and I love it! The hanging fish are from Gina at The Shabby Creek Cottage's Etsy shop. I bought them in watermelon and blue a couple of years ago. I love both colors but chose to use the watermelon ones for this theme.

Other side of the porch. My Target Threshold ottoman ($35.99 with 10 percent off) landed today. Yay! I love the pop of color it adds. The starfish pillows are also Threshold for Target. They were $14.99 each.

Another ottoman view.

I really love the color it adds to our porch. The green siding with the black LL Bean rocking chairs left it looking a bit dull but now it screams color! And I'm happy that I gave myself a budget and stuck to it.

Remember that petite colander I picked up at TJ Maxx last week? I turned it into a pretty spring nest:

Just added some faux "grass," a petite Dollar Store nest and some scented robin's egg soaps.

Yup, I'm ready for spring! And how cute are these Easter cupcake toppers from Target?!

Only $1 per pack. Too adorable (and cheap!) to pass up!

Happy President's Day everyone!

I popped into Target this morning because my 7 year old needed a new lunchbox. Yup, only 3 weeks into the school year and the zipper on his first one broke already. Doh! I love going down the bargain aisle while I'm there. Today I found this cute little wire basket for $2.50.

I've been wanting a small basket for our counter top. I added some Decor Steals French dish towels I ordered a few weeks ago. The oven mitt is also from Target. I love the vintage-inspired farmhouse design.

These are the towels.

Again, it's a great size for the counter and I love how the towels and oven mitt fit perfectly!

Today is my mom's birthday so I treated her to her local Goodwill this morning. Of course, she picked out one thing while I, on the otherhand, went a little crazy:

The Target shelves will look great in my 7 year old's room. I never pass up faux eggs and vase fillers (also from Target). The little frames were a steal! I will be adding those to my Etsy shop once I add the perfect French images. I also couldn't pass up the cloche.

Don't you love the blue mason jar glasses?! The little chairs were quite intriguing to me. They are definitely first on the list for a makeover. I don't love the red and black - although Mom did. The wood crate is definitely getting painted too! The craft paper says it's actually book cover paper. Not sure what I'm going to do with that yet.

I'm pretty happy with my haul and Mom is happy with her crystal pitcher.

Have you seen the new Privet House for Target line yet? I had never heard of Privet House, but I was intrigued enough to look for them in my local Target.

I was pleasantly surprised! On Friday, I picked up four of these wonderful placemats. I also couldn't resist the ceramic cheese plate. I was a little surprised to see though that it was Made in China. Hmmmm...not quite an American artisan collection now is it?

I also picked up this market tote which is quite large and roomy. Perfect for a day at the beach or during my garage sale outings. I also grabbed one of their beautiful candles to add to my Mom's Mother's Day presents. It's in a glass jar (I would have shown a picture but I already wrapped it) which she can probably use again and again once the candle is done.

The prices were okay - $19.99 and up depending upon the piece.

Wishing all of my bloggy buddies a wonderful Mother's Day tomorrow!!!!!

Hope everyone had a wonderful Christmas! I can't believe how fast it came and went. Today was so dreary here that me and the kids actually started taking some decorations down. Then we hit Target for some lights for next year. Somehow I came home with two of these pretties:

Yup, Target already has some Valentine's Day items out. So of course that made me start working on a Valentine's Day windowsill for the kitchen.

The pink glasses are actually candle holders from Ikea that I picked up last year.

And some of the reds that I had out for Christmas, I keep out for Valentine's Day. How cute is that little heart pen? In the dollar aisle!

My husband thinks I'm crazy but when in Rome, right?! Besides, Target started it - not me!

Pull up a chair!

We'll be hosting a small Christmas eve gathering this year and here's what I'm thinking our table will look like. This is the first year I'm getting to use these Christmas plates that I got at Home Goods last year:

I love a plaid tablecloth for Christmas and I got this one at Target. The rooster plates are from Kmart.

The big ornaments are from a local nursery called Hicks. I bought them a couple of years ago.

Remember these tree napkin rings? I got these from the local church thrift store. The napkins are from Pottery Barn. I bought them for the 4th of July but I think the stars also work for Christmas.
