Pottery Barn Goodness

I was thinking that my son might have been feeling a little left out in recent weeks, what with my daughter having her first child and our first grandchild.  Although, they are grown {he was 20 in June}, I like to spend time with both my kids.  We picked a day to spend some time together before college started up for him again and Thursday {most of it anyway} was it. 

We decided to go to the outlet mall since we both needed some things and made the Pottery Barn Outlet our first stop.  {May I digress for just a moment to ask when did outlets stop carrying deals?  I noticed earlier this year on our trip to PA that outlets we went in had the same price as the regular store!  So where’s the bargain here?} 

This pillar candleholder {$17.99} was one of the first things I picked up.  With it’s wide base, I am looking for it to be cloche-like rather than used as a candleholder.  Now I just need to find the cloche part.

I totally got this 16 x 26 pillow cover {$19.99} after seeing that my sister at One Cheap B*tch got one a couple of weeks ago.  Love it!  I did not, however, get the pillow insert.  I am sure I can get a fairly decent priced one at Joann’s with a coupon or sale.

I just draped it over my black-and-white-chandelier-drapery-panel-transformed-into-a-lumbar-pillow in my living room to see how it would look.

Lastly, a set of numbered napkin rings with the best price of the day at $9.99 for the set of 6.  I played with my camera settings in Macro, too, so be patient with my pictures below.

I walked around the store with this pillow in my arms the whole time. 

For $39.99 down from $59.99, I was seriously considering getting it.  {Meanwhile, it’s $49.00 online ~ go figure}!  It wasn’t just a pillow cover like the one I did buy.  In the end though, I couldn’t justify the $40.00 and it just ticked me off that an “outlet” pillow was $40.00. 

At any rate, we had a good day together and I got just about everything on my list!

Reminder that my giveaway ends tonight!  You still have time to enter!
