Today, I stopped by the Winter Market edition of the Clover Market. It was a special event held this weekend in the Armory in Center City. Here are some of the wonderful treasures that I spied!

And this one is for you, Dad 🙂image_8

Aaaaaaaaaaand, just in case you were wondering, no, I did NOT buy anything! Purely eye candy. Although, I did indulge in a hot chocolate spiked with Pumpkin Spice Vodka, in addition to some pulled pork and beef chili from the Oink & Moo BBQ Food Truck. Yum!

If you would like to stop by and check it out for yourself, they have several spring dates coming up near the Philadelphia area:

April 12-Chestnut Hill

April 26-Bryn Mawr

May 17-Bryn Mawr

June 7-Chestnut Hill

Happy Hunting!

There are so many treasures to be found hiding amongst pink peace sign bedding and grungy skateboard shelving. Yeah, that’s right, I’m talking about shopping for grown up things at a kid’s store. I scoured my top 3 sites for little known gems. Here they are, with the links included!

I just love TJ Maxx. Like, really really love it. When I was doing some Christmas shopping for myself family, I stopped in to look around, and of course, it did not disappoint! Here are some of the treasures I found.

*Disclaimer-None if these things came home with me, but they sure were fun to look at!

Let’s start with the accessories first:image_25These cute Kate Spade look-a-like earrings were only $14.99!

 
 image_23It’s difficult to see, but this bag had a herringbone felt look and I couldn’t help but admire the cute embellished details. Only $39.99.

image_22This navy and pink leather bag looked so polished, a la Elle Woods, Esq. It was less than $50 bucks.

image_21Ummm, can’t stand it, right?! SOOO cute! For $29.99?! Love it. 

image_20Travelling soon? This gray ostrich Nicole Miller bag (on wheels!) is the perfect accessory…especially for less than $200. But I have my own fabulous black classy duffel that I received for Christmas! 🙂

image_17Remember my Manzanita post? Well, here it is again…for $20…in GOLD! I know, you didn’t think it could get any better.

image_16This lush fur blanket by Nicole Miller is perfect for winter snuggling. And at $40, you could afford to buy some logs for the fire too.  Again, Santa brought me my own snuggle pelt for Christmas. A little more of a splurge, but TOTALLY worth it!

image_15I love this gilded pineapple for $16.99. It makes me think of Charleston 🙂

image_18My beautiful friend bought me a Kate Spade journal brandishing this same carefree phrase reminiscent of the ever-so-fashionable, not-so-humble Marie Antoinette.

image_19On those days when you need to be reminded that you are beautiful 🙂

image_14This box set is more like a matryoshka doll. The boxes inside are equally as cute. It does have a juvenile look to it, but I’m so glad that even babies can have fabulous storage. 

image_13 image_12These kitchen stools were a great industrial touch. I imagine them in an all-white kitchen. Then again, I imagine myself in an all-white kitchen. *dream*

image_11This AMAZING nailhead stunner was only…get ready…$69.99!! If I didn’t already have 2 sad chairs waiting to be loved up at home, I definitely would have bought this. Except that he didn’t have a friend…

image_10Speaking of friends, I want this shiny bar cart to be my friend. It was $199.99 and it loved me. It could have also been reincarnated as a nightstand or hot chocolate station, or side table, or basically anything. This couldn’t look bad anywhere.

image_24And last, but not least, this fun, bold, striped wrapping paper. It can be used to wrap any of the things you’ve just seen. My birthday is coming up…in June 😉

Have you found any great TJ Maxx finds?
