Celebrating Father’s Day with Sears

We took a trip to Tahoe last weekend and celebrated Father’s day a little bit early. It was so great to getaway for some summer fun at the lake. We like to celebrate holidays like these with a special trip or fun activity. And of course I couldn’t wait to give the Mr his Father’s Day gift from me. I love giving gifts and it’s always hard for me to hold off until the actual day to give people their presents!

So I posted my Father’s Day gift guide earlier and realized that I didn’t include any jewelry on it! I know, I know…most of you don’t really think of jewelry when it comes to gifts for men BUT let me tell you, there’s nothing more my husband appreciates than a good watch. He loves his watch collection and usually it’s my go-to when it comes time for Christmas, birthdays, etc. We even got matching watches on our honeymoon.

Big Buys This Week

Wow, I was a big spender this week! Have you guys checked out my sidebar lately?

I treated myself to a cashmere sweater from Haute Look, got the Mr a sweater, dress shirt and cast iron grill pan from Rue La La, bought Arden soft bamboo blankies from Gilt and got the casa the most stuff of all:

Bamboo towels, a faux fur throw, wicker trunks from the Foundary, rock on.

But my most favorite score of the week??? A new headboard from Joss & Main!

I figured we’d been living with a Cal King Bed and Queen-sized headboard for long enough. I actually just sold the queen headboard a couple of days ago. Boy did we miss having it though, I just love having a soft padded headboard to lean against when ~~reading~~ playing on the iPad before bedtime. The Mr and I were considering some headboards from HSN or Sears and even a DIY version. But what did my eyes see this morning when doing the rounds on my favorite daily sample sales sites? Yep, that’s right headboards galore and even in the right size: Cal King. Fate I tell you 🙂

We ended up going with the Glitz Notched Headboard, a great shape and covered in a metallic linen. How glam does that sound? All for the low price of $350. Needless to say I’m pretty excited to get our new headboard, hopefully it doesn’t take too long to ship! Our master bedroom needs some help, it’s been going through some major transitions lately. I think I need to come up with a CCC room design for it 😉

Oh and the one that got away? This gorgeous baby quilt from John Robshaw on One Kings Lane…sigh. Isn’t it adorable? It would have fit perfectly in Arden’s nursery and it was only $60. It’s the perfect amount of vintage and cuteness without being too matchy-matchy with everything else in the nursery. Oh well, I wish One Kings Lane had a wait list function like Gilt :

Room And Board Wegner Wishbone Chair Cont.

Update: a white version posted 12/20 can be found here!

Happy Monday! Hope you guys enjoyed the weekend! It was gorgeous here in the SF Bay Area…of course it’s supposed to rain tonight, though. Oh well…

Here’s a great find from reader, Susie Q from Eye Spy! If you read my last post on the Wegner Wishbone Chair, you are going to love this find too. Thanks Susie!
