The art above my desk

During our recent Caribbean cruise, I snapped a few pics at Orchid World in Barbados. It was, as the name indicates, an orchid-lover's dream. Every type, every color, every shape of orchid was beautifully represented there.

When I came home and posted some pics, I was incredibly flattered when a dear friend asked if she could have one of the pics to put up in her home. Of course, I said, and then thought, why shouldn't I have some of these framed and put up in my home?

The end result was this:
they reside above my computer monitor and provide a splash of color on cold, dreary mornings.

The frames were $3.99 each on clearance at Michaels, and the prints were 99 cents each. Can't beat that :D

Why I love Tarjay!

I mean, really, any chick with a frugal cell in her body has to love Teh Tarjay. Today I was looking for some Lysol spray and happened upon these sweet frames on clearance. How much were they, you ask?
$1.24 and $2.48.

I also found a nice black frame with three 5x7 openings but for some reason the photo is not loading. ANYhoo, that one will join my husband's side of the office, along with all his other black frames. And it cost me $6.24. Not bad at all.
