There are very few retail locations that I patronize: I think they're too expensive and unoriginal. Malls are the worst! But... there's always a BUT... I absolutely LOVE Pottery Barn.
In Arizona our Pottery Barns are usually part of a mall- but it's so worth it. I love to explore the store for inspiration and sale items. This past week I was able to talk my family into a trip to Pottery Barn (as long as we took them to Cheesecake Factory for dinner- which is next door). As we approached the entrance, the scents of Fall filled the air- in the form of their autumn spice oil. I could literally spend hours looking at the different displays and table settings. My family, however, was ready to leave after 20 minutes. So what did I buy?
A little piece of fall: Autumn spice candle and potpourri. Total damage $35.00. The good news, I put it all in a $2.00 garage sale vase! Leave a comment and tell me where you go for retail therapy. Love, Kelly.

Kelly, hi!
ReplyDeleteI go to TK Maxx (as we call it in the UK) for fabulous candles and homewares. Love, love, LOVE that store!!!

Gymboree, Children's Place and Baby Gap. I would rather die than pay full price for mine or my husband's clothes, but the baby gets it all. Love the display, so pretty!
ReplyDeleteDefinitely Target and Childrens Place--both have cute stuff and usually a good sale. I adore Pottery Barn for inspiration but have only ever bought one thing --ok one set of things-- from there because we got a gift certificate for our wedding for $30. The only thing in the entire store besides one placemat that was $30 or less was a pair of candlestick holders. They are pewter, I love them, and 10 years later I still have them. I love them even more because it was the first shopping trip we made married. Good times.....
ReplyDeletePier 1 and World Market...both so full of inspiration and when I have some extra cash and need some retail therapy. lol
ReplyDeleteI too love Pottery Barn. My local PB here in CO is not in a mall so I can just hit the PB with no mall maddness. Does your PB offer decorating classes? I love those especially the holiday ones. They teach table setting, tree decorating etc.. Then the offer a shopping discount for that morning only.
ReplyDeleteI do love Pottery Barn, but I have just discovered my newest flame...Arhaus Furniture. There was nothing there that I didn't like. Check out their stuff, it is awesome. Their stores are great. I spent a whole $15 there the other day and I think the receipt, burlap sack, and catalog they gave me cost them more than I spent!
ReplyDeleteDiana,
ReplyDeleteI get emails about the classes, but have been unable to attend. Glad to hear they're worth it. thanks.
Shevon,
I just ordered a catalog- Thanks for the information, it looks amazing.
