Stylish new Frames
















While shopping at market in September, we discovered these stylish new frames... the manufacturer offers a variety of styles... and, best of all, they're easy on your wallet. Prices start at just $4.99... and these picture frames definitely have a fresh appeal. Some of our favorites are the rustic wood and mirrored frames. Here's a look at a few styles we have in stock.

Pumpkin Soaps 50% off


We just marked down one of our best fall items... Our pumpkin soaps. We have 2 varieties... one with little pumpkins and the other is a glycerin-based orange soap with white soap chunks mixed in. Both smell delightful and offer and easy way to bring a touch of autumn into your home...I throw one into our guest bathroom and it gives it just the right touch. You can also give these soaps to your Thanksgiving host as an affordable yet unique "thank you."

Christmas has arrived!!!


It's a homebodies' tradition that we put up the majority of our Christmas display Nov. 1... and this year was no exception! It was a crazy day and thanks to everyone that helped!
If you've driven by... you've seen the Christmas trees in our window... make sure to drive by at night when the lights twinkle through the stained glass out front.... it's beautiful.
Not all of our Christmas items are out... we will be adding new stuff each week.... but so far, the "santa" tree is the favorite. Here's a photo... it has a santa hat topper and an adorable santa belt.... black velvet with a gold buckle.
I won't show you our other main tree...you'll have to stop by and see which one is your favorite.

Celebrity Homes














******A favorite blog of mine is realestalker.blogspot.com because it combines real estate, interior design and architecture with celebrity--not to mention the writing is creative and funny! As I was catching up on posts, I came across lots of good stuff... but wanted to share just a few. The first photo is the master bedroom of designer Adam Lippes, who is selling his NYC penthouse for $5.75.... What Would Oprah Say? above the bed... that is genius! (Reminds me of the What would God Do? OR, better yet for all SouthPark fans... what would Brian Boitano do?)
The other thing that caught my attention was Kim Kardashian's L.A. condo, which is listed for nearly $1.1 million... LOVE the bedrooms... But what cracked me up was the self portrait in the bathroom AND above the toilet (top right photo). I won't be stealing that design idea anytime soon.

New Arrivals!




We just got another shipment from one of our favorite Utah companies... The Crowning Touch. This husband-and-wife duo make some great items! Here are a few picks of what just arrived at homebodies Thursday... there's calendars, picture holders, magnet boards and more! Come see it all for yourself sometime soon.

Nail Covers







These are one of our most popular items.... cast metal nail covers. We just got a new shipment so we have every design in stock! These items are great for dressing up your walls... and they hide unsightly nails and screws.

New Fall Potpourri - JUST ARRIVED


We just got in a new fall potpourri - hollow harvest.... it is DEE-lightful! We had a customer who described the scent as "carmel-y" and I think she hit it on the nose. Along with the potpourri, we have refresher sprays in the same great scent. This colorful potpourri looks great in any room.... just find a bowl or something else creative to display it in.
