A Citrus Collection That Looks Super European

Citrus Kitchen Scale by Ashland®
Michaels

I am also crushing over the new “Citrus” collection with a refreshing, fruity vibe. The Citrus Kitchen Scale by Ashland is super bright and fun, while the 18″ Orange & Lemon Pillar Candle Holder by Ashland is perfect as a centerpiece.

A Monkey Lamp That Looks Designer

14" Monkey Table Lamp by Ashland®
Michaels

The Pink Jungle Collection is a vibe that I am here for. I am truly obsessed with almost every wild item in it, most of them brightly colored and animal-inspired. This Monkey Table Lamp by Ashland, priced at $69.99, looks like something from a designer store.

5
Jungle Cat Tissue Boxes and Trays

Jungle Cat Tissue Box by Ashland®
Michaels

I also love these Jungle Cat Tissue Boxes and the matching trays. The tissue boxes are $24.99 and super bold, glossy, and fabulous. The matching trays are $24.99 to $29.99.

6
A Leopard Lamp

18.5" Leopard Table Lamp by Ashland®
Michaels

You will have to make a visit to the store for this 18.5″ Leopard Table Lamp by Ashland. Bold and chic, the lamp features a gold leopard base and a pink leopard print lampshade. Get it for $69.99.

7
A Chic, Gold Bar Cart

Gold Bar Cart by Ashland®
Michaels

If you want the Gold Bar Cart by Ashland from the Pink Jungle collection, you’ll need to hope it is available in your store, as it isn’t selling online. Priced at $249.99, it features a bamboo-style frame with decorative accents, and two mirrored glass trays fit into the frame to create two levels for storing bottles, mixers, glasses, and more.

Valentine’s Day Craft Kits

Valentine Heart Ornament Craft Kit by Creatology™
Michaels

My daughter purchased a few of these Valentine’s Day craft sets from Creatology, including the Valentine Heart Ornament Craft Kit. She also loved the ceramic mug kit, just $7.99. It includes a bow, a heart-adorned mug, and love-inspired paint colors. This makes a great gift that kids can customize for a loved one.

9
A Capiz Boho Tray

Turquoise Capiz Decorative Tray by Ashland®
Michaels

This Turquoise Capiz Decorative Tray by Ashland from the new “Boho Coast” collection also grabbed my eye, as it definitely doesn’t look like something you would find at Michael’s. The tray, $39.99, has an artisanal feel and resembles others I have seen at upscale beach-house decor stores.

10
A Wood and Faux Leather Foot Stool

12" Brown Wood & Faux Leather Foot Stool by Ashland®
Michaels

The “Into the West” collection at Michael’s also has my heart. In addition to wall art and vases, there are furniture pieces, including this 12″ Brown Wood & Faux Leather Foot Stool by Ashland, $69.99, firwood construction with faux leather upholstery.

And, last but not least, from the “Artful Organization” collection, I loved these 8.5″ Gold Bubble Monogram Letters by Ashland, each just $19.99.
