fab finds for less than $50

I’m always on the hunt for beautiful decorative accessories that add that perfect finishing touch without breaking the bank, so I thought I would highlight some of my favorite sources for lovely pieces on a budget.  While I always like to first check out thrift and antique stores for unique pieces, there are a few retail shops that never let me down and have a great variety of goodies at the perfect price point: $50 or less.  Mark and Graham, C Wonder, High Street Market, West Elm are a few of my favorites.  Here are a few steals I’m loving lately; with Mother’s Day right around the corner, any of these items would be a perfect gift idea!

These ceramic bamboo vases are absolutely stunning! They would look amazing filled with bright pink or coral blooms or cooking utensils in the kitchen!

An oversize gold wishbone means lots of luck and adds a chic touch to bookshelves and coffee tables.

A gorgeous straw basket is perfect for the beach or running errands. 

I love the texture and nautical touch of this jute rope wrapped mirror.  It’s a much more affordable version of a similar one at Pottery Barn and adds just the same amount of drama!

Gold-painted resin coral.  Need I say more?

Technically, this outdoor pillow is $53, but for an additional three bucks, I just had to include it on my list.  It comes in a bunch of different colors and with a triple monogram and jute braid cording, it’s the perfect accessory for your porch or patio!

I don’t know of anyone who wouldn’t LOVE letterpress anchor note cards with gold edging – these are fabulous! 

I’ve been ordering this wicker serving set for a while now; it’s the perfect touch to a Spring or Summer dinner party.  Make sure to pick up the matching cheese knives, too!
