I Had No Idea

Last weekend I entered my first Vera Bradley store in San Antonio. Prior to Saturday, I had never seen a VB store. Apparently, there are only two VB stores in Texas. Oh my goodness, the store is so pretty! While we were looking around, I noticed rugs, dishes, stemware, lamps, picture frames, vases... I had NO idea VB sold home goods.

Since it was their grand opening, they were passing out free tape measures. This is going to sound strange but I really like tape measures, especially tape measures covered in cute fabrics. They're just so handy! My mom carries a tape measure in her purse. You never know when you'll need one!




Here are a few VB rugs that I like. I might have to purchase one soon since my PB rug smells so bad. :(

    VB has a home catalog you can subscribe to. I keep a small tape measure in my glove compartment of my car.

    My mom is a hugeee fan of Vera, but I doubt she'd need one of those. :)

    That tape measure is too cute! It's hard to choose a favorite b/c all of those rugs are adorable!

    (P.S. I carry a tape measure too! I got in the habit when I was shopping for furniture and have kept it in there b/c it comes in handy quite often!)

    The tape measure is so cute! I don't think we have any VB stores around my neck of the woods. A lot of Hallmark stores carry their items.

    I love the rugs you picked out!

    Cute tape measure! And the rugs are just beautiful. We have one Vera store nearby, but I believe it may have actually closed down not too long ago :( I went in once and was very impressed with all of the items I had never seen in the catalogs. They had the most adorable upholstered chairs in all sorts of her prints. I love Vera!

    I like the large floral print one. It would go great in Millie's room. Upscale for Buffalo is Target, and you have to drive 90 minutes to find one.

    i had no idea that vb made rugs! i love the first, second and third ones. particularly the third though, the colors are to die for! thanks for the love on my mirror. i am so proud of myself (i got super messy) and it came out great. i am so excited for it to dry. i think it's going to be gorgeous! how was the britney concert? was it everything you dreamt of and more? i love her! hope you have a fabulous weekend!!

    take care

    I've never been to an actual VB store, but I definitely need to see one someday! I love their bags, so fun and colorful! VB has some placemat and napkin sets too, they are so pretty!
