I was SURE I wasn't going to venture out on Black Friday but I woke up at 4 AM and couldn't get back to sleep no matter what I tried...I also had to take my car to the shop because the windows had gone crazy...the car was even smart enough to lock me out...I'm not a fan...I went a little (ok a lot) crazy yesterday - mainly buying stuff for myself (most of my Christmas shopping for family is already done)
Especially at Anthropologie...20% off the entire store...*sigh*
Here are a few photos of what I bought:
The mercury glass 'A' and blue latte bowls are also from Anthro as is the mug (which I saw and loved last week while I was out shopping).
The sequined / velvet purple-y shirt and bedazzled lace crop cardigan were quite the splurge. I also picked up this lovely apron that matches my oven mitt I bought in Toronto.
It was hard to convey the clothes well just hanging on the chair so here's Anthro's photos from the site with the links if you're interested:

I moved a few things around on my bookshelves (one of my favorite activities), here's the before and after. You can see I down-sized my trophy collection somewhat - a few are for sale in the Etsy shop right now and getting a lot of views!
Before
After
As you can see (if you're crazy like me) - I have already swapped two of the seascape paintings on my gallery wall...told you it wouldn't stay that way long ;)
Ok...so I don't have my projects done yet this week - but hopefully I'll get them done this weekend and share them on the blog Sunday night
By the way - if you haven't heard - today is Small Business Saturday. Get out there and support your local small businesses!
I'm offering 10% off of any purchases over $50 in the Etsy shop -> FiveElevenDecor
If there's anything you've had your eye on - now is the time to get it - in most cases everything in the shop is one of a kind or vintage and hard to find so once it's gone it's gone ;)
Have a wonderful weekend!!

PS - This is not a sponsored post in anyway - I'm just a shopaholic and thought I'd share my finds ;)
