What a great post, I don’t even know where to begin! I LOVE the make-up bags (and am in major need of a new one), NEED those file folder’s for my business (so cute) and WISH I could afford that Thread Social dress! The framed shopping bad idea really is pure genius! I wish I could be that creative!
I took a floral class in college, it was SO fun! I love knowing the names of some of the rarer flowers.
looooove that bowl!

Wow! So many great finds. Thanks for stopping by my blog. Glad to have found your blog! I’m your newest follower!
I love the idea learning to arrange flowers. I am trying to erase the shopping bag idea from my mind. Shame on your for giving me another reason to shop. :)
Love the idea of framing shopping bags! My oldest daughter collects hers. This would be great for her apartment!!

I just love this post! Shopping as a way to help keep new years resolutions is pretty genius and the best excuse I can think of.
I am obsessed with Thread Social and Tucker! Love both the dresses you posted! Might have to make my way to Hampton Clothing to see if they have them. I am really digging the Thread Social one.
I LOVE the cosmetic bags. I am a sucker for bags, purses, luggage, etc and these cosmetic bags have made my want list for sure! :)
I’m with Carissa, shopping bags as art is totally brilliant…in more ways than one…seriously have not even tried making any new years resolutions yet. I am so lame! (c: Or maybe I am just that on the ball…NOPE. Just that lame. (c: hehehe
