This past Saturday, I actually got to do a little shopping.
Saturday morning, with water bottle in hand and a heat index of 107 my daughter and I headed out to find the garage sales.
2 hours and 1 really sweaty shirt later this is what I bought!

As most of you know I've been doing Christmas crafts lately. If you didn't know that means it's been at least a week since you stopped by so shame on you! LOL!
I so SCORED at a garage sale that was selling craft items AND Christmas items.
I got a whole box full of stuff for only 5 bucks.
Here are my thrifty finds!
This little treasure was $3.00. I'm going to sand it an paint it. Probably white! LOL! I'm on a white kick right now! We'll see.
And then I had the pleasure of going to the Brand New Hobby Lobby out in Viera. It's a little further of a drive than Jo-Ann Fabrics but apparently it's owned by a Christian and I'm all about supporting that. They had some great deals and I walked away with these items for less then $25.00.
This lamp I bought my daughter was half of that total but we are redoing her room and this lamp was perfect for it, so I went ahead and got it. Plus it was 50% off.
We are going to add a nice trim on the bottom of the shade to match her decor!

And now for the fun part.
I was perusing Ross' this past week and I heard it calling to me. "Psst!" "Hey, you!" it said. "Over here." "No, over here." "Down, down, yup there you go!"
Seriously, I really think it called to me because there it was, on the bottom shelf, all by itself and not another one like it anywhere.

So now it makes a happy little display on my hutch.
You can't walk by it and not smile. You're smiling aren't you? Hee! Hee!
So for right around $35.00, I got all that I told you about here!
Not to shabby.
Did you get to go thrifting this weekend? What did you find?
Have a FABULOUS day!

You have been busy - it is so much fun hunting for bargains. Love that smiley tray set.
ReplyDeleteYou always find the best stuff! :D We love Hobby Lobby, too! It is on the north end of town, so when I'm up there I sometimes stop in.
ReplyDeleteneed to go thrifting for some clothes for dd. She keeps growing and growing. Guess I need to stop feeding her?! LOL! Just kidding! :D

Consignment shops.....we found some real brand spankin' new clothing...and half off used books.....even 1 for homeschooling for a buck.....original price $10
ReplyDeleteGreat going, girl!!! You got some great stuff. I love it when you hit a garage sale or a thrift store and come away with a bunch of loot. Of course, sometimes, it's a miss...but usually not.
ReplyDeleteI hit several garage sales and thrift stores over the weekend and came away with some decorative pillows (that's my latest craze), some candlesticks, two brand-new vanilla pillar candles, and a gorgeous vintage hankie...all for $8.
Oh, and I LOVE Ross. It's my favorite store. I find some fabulous dresses there, including two sheath-style summer dresses that I get compliments on EVERY TIME I wear one.
Well, I hope you have a fabulous day.
Love,
Patti

You got some great deals!
ReplyDeleteNo thrifting for me...I've been with my brother over the past week. I updated my blog if you want to check it out.
Have a great week...
You are so fun!
ReplyDeleteI haven't been shopping much lately, but I did get to browse Hobby Lobby today with my grandmother. I walked out with just a few greeting cards. Probably my cheapest trip there, yet! Have a great week.
What great finds! I wish we had a Hobby Lobby in California. I absolutely love the Smiley Face tray! It made me smile!
ReplyDeleteI love that tray! And it's absolutely perfect for you! I wish we had more yard sales around here. I haven't been to one in ages. I think I'm going through withdrawl...
ReplyDeleteStoppin by to say, "Where are you today???" No blog post yet? What's going on?
ReplyDeleteThe wreaths you purchased made me think of a blog that I saw a couple of weeks ago. She used tall socks (knee high or taller) to decorate her front door wreath with. She used a knife to slice an opening through the wreath, she cut the socks off at the heel and then slid the socks onto the wreath. I think it took 2 socks per wreath and they were really, really cute and festive...depending on the socks you find. She finished it with a ribbon. I think she bought her socks at Dollar Tree and Target. So cute!
Okay...so really where are you? Are you okay today?
Love the lamp! I'm emailing you and Kathy a little bit later. Love ya!
