Hello Loves,
It’s Sunday night and I’m finally relaxing in bed! I hope all you had a fabulous Mother’s day! Since I did end up going to the Domino sale this weekend I figured you would all like a recap!
Here goes:
Friday night: Me and hubby went to the city and spent the night with my sister in her apt in Chelsea (super close to the Domino sale) We had a very entertaining dinner with some colorful fellow diners and ended the night at Pinkberry! Yum.
Saturday: Woke up super early (ok it was only 7:15, but it early enough for me). I’m doing WW to lose those stubborn 10 pounds all girls complain about it so I dragged my sister and hubby to a location near her to do my weekly weigh in. Down another two which it makes a total of 7 lbs woo hoo!
Updating twitter:
Stopped for breakfast at a deli, because Sissy and hubby think we are way too early. We stay and eat there. Huge mistake! We arrive at 9:15 and the line is almost down the block!
I’m pretty sure I saw a fellow blogger team there, but not 100 percent sure. Let’s see if they blog about the sale and then I’ll be certain and share who I saw.
Here are hubby and sissy not too happy that we have to wait on huge line. I just give them a big, “ I told you so”, because I wanted to walk and eat our breakfast and get there sooner!
At around 9:45 someone from the sale came out to tell us all about the sale. We were told that downstairs items were from $10-$300 and then upstairs was $400 and up. They were going to let in 20 downstairs and 30 upstairs at a time. He also told us not to horde any items, because they wanted everyone to get a piece.
So we wait on this line for 2 hours! I was getting really cranky especially after hearing person after person say that it wasn’t too great. Ah, but at least we were all thinking we would get to see a really cool apt.
We got in at 11:30 and it was HORRIBLE! I was so mad that I wasted my entire morning there! Really it was garbage. Some people came out with a couple of cute things, but nothing out of this world. It was a basement that wasn’t even finished and the apartment section was completely bare. The prices were sky high as well. There were a couple of rolls of fabric at good prices, but they were all basically solid colors nothing Domino like. I would be surprise to see any blogger give this sale a good review.
It wasn’t even worth it to take the camera out, but at the last second I snapped two shots:
Shot of the clothing items (That was it!) :
The only icing on the cake was my walk back to my sisters apartment we made a pit stop at Union Square’s farmers market and I got a delish Oatmeal Chocolate Chip cookie to drown my sorrows!
The day got more exciting from there, because after we arrived home we headed out to a friends house. They just got married in Oct and moved in to their new home around the same time.
We went over, toured the house, did some home improvement projects, made dinner and I even got myself some work helping them with the decor!
Sunday: Mother’s Day and my Birthday! 28 years ago I was born and that year it ended up falling on Mother’s day as well. My hubby and two sisters took part in planning a lovely brunch for me, my mom and my MIL. It was a great time full of great food, amazing people and fab gifts of course!
My sisters even went out and got me a cool Lucite bangle, because they knew it was one of my must-have items that I was looking for at the Domino sale.
Now onto what Jon got me this year. This man was very good to his blogger wife and got her this:
It’s called a netbook aka a mini laptop and I’m in heaven. It has Wi-fi and fits into my purse. I can blog on the go!
Here it is on top of my other laptop:
Tomorrow I’m having a fun-filled day with my mom in order to continue my birthday celebration. We are off to the Spa, lunch and then a little shopping.
Hope you all had an amazing weekend!
xoxo

My living room is one of the rooms that evolved drastically from when we first moved one. Originally I painted the walls chocolate brown and did accents of white, blue and orange. That lasted maybe 2 years.
Our dining room sat empty for months. Okay maybe it was empty for just a handful of weeks and then we couldn’t take it anymore and put in a folding table and plastic outdoor chairs, but in my mind that was still empty.
On the main floor of our house we have a Florida room. Being that it’s a Florida room it is a considered a 3 season room, because there is no heat in the room. The previous owners used it as an indoor patio with outdoor furniture and it looked like this when we moved in.
In our new home, the basement was completely unfinished. It was literally one of those dark spaces that you see in horror movies and are terrified of getting locked into. However, with the square footage in this house, I knew I needed to make the basement another workable and liveable floor of the house instead […]
What to look for when it comes to picking out kitchen appliances: Leave room in your budget for appliances. When it comes to kitchen renovations everyone knows that the cabinetry and the labor of demoing and installing cabinetry is going to eat a lot of your budget. However, the second most expensive part of a […]
I don’t think I’m alone in thinking that designing a kitchen is an overwhelming undertaking. I’m an interior designer and even I find it stressful to iron out all of those details. So, when it comes time to design a kitchen I always like to partner with a kitchen designer to make sure I’m remembering […]
I was wondering about the sale and how it went. I just read Cup of Jo’s post and it sounded as if all of the good stuff was long gone. Sorry about your long wait, I hope the cookie helped drown your sorrows.
Happy birthday!
I just re-upholstered my homemade headboard, bought a new featherbed, and new Egyptian sheets…I couldn’t be more in heaven this sunday night! Have a great week! sorry bout the sale.
How disappointing about the sale! It sounds like it was way over-hyped by the Domino people. I’m glad that you enjoyed the rest of your weekend. Happy Birthday, sweet Camila!! 🙂
cool!, I am getting one of those netbooks as well, is it great?
Happy birthday Camilla!
Shame about the Domino sale, at least you stopped off for a good breakfast before hand!

Glad that my schedule did not allow that waste of time- but seems like you will be making up for it as you celebrate your b-day!
Happy b-day! Kick off your high heels and celebrate life!

Happy Birthday! Yeah! Too bad about the Domino sale, I would be interested to know if anyone found anything good there… hmm. Love the new notebook, so chic!
Oh! I’m so bummed for you RE: the Domino sale, but your new netbook MORE than makes up for it, n’est pas?? 😉
Have a wonderful spa-filled day!!
I got there around 10, saw the line and then high tailed it out of there! Sounds like I made a good decision.
That’s so sad that it sucked! I had much higher expectations… What a crappy way for our beloved Domino to go out.
sooo sad about the Domino sale!!
Sucks about the Domino sale- sorry you didnt find anything fun!
BUT, your hubby is the best ever!! What a great birthday present he got you, he really knows just the perfect present for a blogger and designer doesnt he? Keep that one around 🙂
Happy Belated Birthday!!!
