~ New Favourites ~


I wanted to share with you a few of my new favourite finds



I recently discovered Trader Joe's ~French Market~ Sparkling Lemonade, It is so refreshing and my family loves it. I love the packaging too,very french. ($2.99)
Also, Target sells these plastic tumblers in assorted sizes. They look identical to the ones Anthropologie sells but they are kid friendly and inexpensive. 



 I purchased 6-8 of each style tumblers and goblets. I first found about about these tumblers on Tausha's blog Simply Me Tausha sometimes uses these as flower vases and they look so pretty. ($2.99-$3.99 )

Two of my favourite places to shop, Target and Trader Joes  



My new favourite place for fresh flowers is Trader Joes ($3.99) for bunches
LOVE these roses



I displayed them in my favourite chippy french bottle rack
You can find similar antique french bottle racks on Etsy

~Let me know if you end up trying a few of my new favourites and how you like them~

Have a wonderful Sunday
xo,
Rachel

    We don't have a Trader Joe's, the closest one is in Atlanta 8 hours away. That's just a little to far for lemonade and flowers for me. But I do have Tausha! She's a friend who comes to my shop to shop. What a sweet heart.
    I love the lemonade bottle, I might find that at World Market?
    What a pretty inspiration today Rachel, love it!
    Hope you enjoy your Sunday~SueBee

    Yes, that TJ's lemonade is good! I was just at Target last night! We get most of our dry good type groceries/misc. there, and then go to the regular grocery store for fresh food - saves money for us. I just bought these chunky, clear/simple glass votive cups in the candle aisle... I'm going to wrap dried corn stalk leaves around them as seen on Martha Stewart's site. ;-) Hope you are having a fab weekend!

    Sparkling lemonaide is one of my favorite drinks too. I have used empty Italian soda bottles for vases because they are so pretty. I love your roses. They are just gorgeous! I plan on shopping at Target today. I want to look at some French grain sack inspired lampshades they are carrying now. :)

    Good Morning Rachel-
    We always buy the lemonade!! It is yummy and then when you are finished, you can use the bottle as a flower vase!!! The tumblers I have not seen. Surprising since I go to Target 3 times a week:))Enjoy the rest of the weekend.

    Hi Rachel! How are you? Your favorites are great! Our family enjoys the TJ's lemonade & the bottles also double as vases too. ;) And that's a great place to buy flowers as well. Hope you are having a wonderful Sunday! I hope you can take the time to stop by my blog when you get a chance.


    Blessings,

    I do quite like this lemonade from Trader Joe's, but have yet to see these cups at Target, I will definitely search for them next time...however, I just could not wait till we head up to the pumpkin patch, so I did buy some pumpkins today from Trader Joe's =) Have a great week dear Xoxoxo

    So pretty and I will have to try that lemonade, Rachel. We don't have a Trader Joe's here but one town over... I will go there one day at an unbusy time (they're right off the freeway and very bad traffic). That is a great price for flowers. I bet if you added a little lavender sugar to that lemonade it would go very good as well.

    The glasses from Target are so cute, maybe I can get some for outside (and my hubby & daughter) so they don't have to say "are these important glasses"? A funny joke here!

    I love Tausha, she's a good friend & so talented in her style, as are you.

    Ok, Rachel, I think I need to head right on over to Target (or "Tar-jay", as I like to call it!) for some of those pretty glasses! I, too, love Trader Joe's, and I think I would buy the lemonade just for the neat bottles! Love, love, love your vintage metal bottle carrier! It all looks tres magnifique!!
