Oh my nautical

I had to go to the TJ Maxx/Homegoods while I was home in LA. A bit out of the way but so worth it! My mom also suggested we go to Tuesday Morning down the street. Tons of nautical there too!

What I bought:

I bought this sign on SALE!


I love these coasters!


Really cute cosmetic bag. Not sure if I'll keep it or maybe give it away ;)


Anchor dish towel

Wishlist:

Love these pink and green flamingo bowls!


I hope these plates are still there when I move this summer!


Sea creature plates


These lamps are so cute in person!


This stool is so cute but TINY! I also loved the knot door stopper


Nautical blankets!


How cute is this pillow?


This was an actual (sitting) stool but I just don't have room right now :(


These are very similar to my favorite Tervis Tumblers

If only I could add some more totes to my collection...

    It's so hard to say "no" when you go to TJ Maxx, isn't it?

    AH! I almost emailed you yesterday to tell you about all the nautical stuff I saw when I went to Homegoods on Tuesday night, it was insane! They have a lot of the same things as Tuesday Morning it looks like (those lamps are adorable!) but I am glad you found them!

    After reading this post we have concluded there is a homing device inside your brain that somehow magically transports you to those locales offering the best goodies in nautical apparel and accessories for the human or the home!

    I love all the cute nautical finds! My favorites are the makeup bag and the flamingo bowls. (If you decide to give the makeup bag away, can I be first on the list???) P.S. I totally love these stores too, my whole home is "Florida themed" and I am always looking for and finding nautical goodies. Good treasure hunting...arr (sorry I couldn't resist a pirate reference!)

    I saw the lamps and now you are making me rethink why I did not purchase! Love all the finds, can't help but think of you when I see nautical stuff.

    Great finds. The pattern on the stool is identical to my parents' window treatments throughout the lower level of their home...they live on the coast:)

    Love. I had a sort of preppy/ nautically themed wedding and I'd have loved those totes. Too bad I didn't know of them last year!
