Goodwill Hunting: Mid Century Modern Office Desk & Chair

Yesterday I went to the thrift store near my home. The hunt for a desk was on since the console table was not the ideal "work space." Consignment stores tend to have really great vintage furniture made of real wood. I was not interested in purchasing some cheap a** particle board furniture. I knew I'd be able to score a great deal.

The first consignment store I visited, I fell in love! Low and behold, I found what I believe to be a Mid Century Modern office desk and chair. So Mad Men! I truly love the style and simplicity. Now all I need is an Eames Executive Chair...sigh, only in my dreams. Move over Don Draper, this woman can play with the big boys. On second thought I guess a couple of torrid affairs around the office, followed by a shocking pregnancy will be suffice.

Martha Stewart Garden Trellis Duvet Onsale!

Macys has a huge Presidents day sale going on. Many of the bedding collections have been marked 50%, 60% or even 70% off. I've been searching for a new comforter/duvet set for our bedroom. After much searching, I had decided on the Martha Stewart Garden Trellis Duvet Queen set.

Macys has it for $67.50 originally $200. Still wasn't keen on paying that much for just a duvet and two shams. What can I say. I'm frugal, patient and sometimes lucky (which is such a rarity). So I continued to search various sites and found nothing. Wednesday I checked Ebay for the 10th time to see if they had one up for sale. Low and behold they did. Score! They had one for $24.99! What a steal!
