What's in the Box?

I was out running errands yesterday and when I got home, I found this box by my front door.  What's in it?

Back in February, the ladies @ Alice Lane Home had a giveaway on their blog.  If you haven't checked out Alice Lane's blog, please do so here - lots of eye candy and these ladies are extremely talented!  It definitely pays off being a loyal reader and follower as I stalk their blog every single day...

back to the box...

On February 13th, I found out I won this gorgeous John Robshaw pillow @ Alice Lane Home.  What a perfect Valentine's gift! 

Sorry for the dark pictures

Ain't she beautiful?

Alice Lane Home, thank you SO MUCH for the giveaway.  I honestly feel like I won the lotto!  The pillow is beautiful and I will cherish it for many, many years!

The Buzz on Garden Stools

I’ve always liked ceramic Chinese garden stools for their flexibility.  These lovely ceramic pieces can be used both indoors and out as a side table or chair and the durability is incredible (they will last forever and always look good).  Not to mention they are PERFECT for smaller spaces.  That being said, I have two in my home.  I picked up a silver one last Spring at Home Goods and placed it at the end of the bed in my tiny 9x9 guest room.  This season, I am seeing more and more garden stools all over the place so I pulled together a list of my 8 favorite…

…and last but not least, here’s a picture of my recent find while at Ross.  I paid an incredible $12.99 for this white ceramic garden stool.  I apologize for the iron and I know it doesn't look nice on there; however, I was ecstatic by my find and placed it by the console table to "try it out" and wasn't planning on posting this picture. LOL
