For those of you in NYC, I have the best news you’ll hear all week: HomeGoods is opening – today! – up on 99th and Columbus, across from the TJ Maxx and Michael’s (that block, incidentally, just became Jordan’s One-Stop Heaven Shop). Oddly enough (or maybe not, considering this is the first store to open in NYC), I’ve never been before…but it is AMAZING, and has everything from art deco mirrored tables to my actual wedding china (above) to obscure olive oils to those crazy sheets that cost a thousand dollars (and are just $199 for a Queen-sized set at HG).
I went to the press preview last Thursday and had one of those incredibly satisfying shopping moments where you pick up every single thing that’s been on your list all in one fell swoop – you know, those things that you really have been meaning to get but don’t want to make a special trip for or don’t want to spend a fortune on.
For $52, I bought the following:
6 pretty wine glasses (I am a professional wine glass-breaker, and we’re almost completely out)
2 adorable potholders (mine were old and gross)
The best-smelling kitchen hand soap ever (cucumber-coriander)
Stainless steel cleaner (for our new kitchen cabinet thing)
4 random vintage-y looking glasses that I did not need, but were $5, so that’s that
A gift for my cousin’s daughter’s first birthday
Dog treats
HomeGoods Grand Opening today from 8AM-8PM. Go check it out!
