HOMESENSE HOW I ADORE THEE my new birdcage and painted mirror

Last visit to Homesense happened to be a quick

 stop while we were on a peaceful drive to get away

 from the hustle and bustle of life and work. As both

 George and I work at home a great deal in the

 evenings sometimes we just take off for a quiet

 drive and enjoy an ice cappuchino from Tim Hortons.

Recently I had mentioned out loud wanting a bird

 cage. I had really wanted one for a long time but

 never mentioned it. With my retail job Ive been all

 over the Fraser Valley as well as different locations

through out the country and really just never see them.

Well during this last stop at Homesense we meandered around

the store together close to closing time, George would pop

 in and out of the isles showing me things he saw.

 Then just as we rounding the final lap to the finish

 line he popped into the isle again this time with a

 beautiful white birdcage in hand.

I gasped and immediately said

"I WANT IT!" 

Then common sense took over and I asked

"HOW MUCH?"

Turned out to be $40, come on!

Well I still wanted it.

While this whole thought process was going on

 George popped in with another bird house of a

 different color and style. Now I was even more

 excited at options. Be careful what you wish for.

 Before the whole thing was done we musta found

 close to a dozen different styles, sizes and colors.

And different prices. 

Including this pretty pretty turquoise one and it was only $15*** SOLD ***

Another find that evening was this great

*FLYING THE WORLD*

mini suitcase.

We also got our large oval clock that youve seen in the past

and a few book boxes at Homesense.

Before I go I want to share with you some encouragement I received from

AMY from MAISON DECOR

She painted her beautiful mirror frame pink and

 encouraged me when I told her I didnt quite have

 the nerve to do mine.

Well I was finally able to find a bit of time Mothers

 day morning and went for it. Happy Mothers day to me.

Mines blue, its bold, its finished, and its brilliant.

Did you notice it also matches the bird cage?

Muahahahahah!
