This past weekend I vistited my "Happy Place" and found some beauties that I just need to share with y'all:
Words can't even begin to describe how happy I was when I happened upon this pink velvet chair. I'm pretty sure I smiled a goofy smile to myself and did a little "happy shopper" jig. It's just perfect in Juliet's room, and I think my Smoochie loves it. Here's a close up of that scrumptious pink velvet:
Aside from a bit of fading in some spots, it's nearly perfect. I can't help but envision her curled up in this chair reading good books as the years go by...but that's not all I found....
I was able to get rid of the (rather ugly) little plastic red chair at her drawing table and replace it with a cute little wooden one for only $7.99:
We're also really loving this little pink mushroom nightlight that I found for her room, too:
A Target find, nonetheless, but still very cute - she loves to have it on while she sleeps, and it casts a nice soft light throughout the room. Not too bright to disturb the darkness, but enough to keep "the creepies" away, and that's what matters most, right??
And finally, I couldn't resist one more "Happy Place" find:
I'm liking it a lot better than the old digital glow of numbers, although the dial doesn't light up any longer. Perhaps it can be fixed, but I don't see any clear way of opening the clock and taking a look at the innerds. Hmmm.
Anyhoo, my weekend's looking to be a busy and very fun one - date night with hubby on Friday, hockey and skating with the kids on Saturday, and Vikings football on Sunday...I'm not a football fanatic, but I do love that Brett Favre!
That would put a smile on my face -- you found yourself some treasures. And I used to dream of having a chair just like that when I was little and loving all things pink.
Have a wonderful weekend.

That chair rocks! What a faboulous find. It reminds me of Chairie, the blue chair in PeeWee's Playhouse. This must be Chairie's sister.
