I'm So Doing The Happy Dance!!!!!
I decided to pop into Goodwill today and I found the most wonderful decorating deals! I just had to dip into the home decor envelope.
For my dressing room/closet/sewing room that I'm planning on decorating in a French decor I found the most incredible French style lamp for $6.97. It is beyond fabulous, I'll need to rewire it and get a lampshade but it's so worth the effort.
For my youngest son's room that's in the process of getting a log cabin makeover I bought a wall clock that is nicer then any I've seen on the market today. My son could barely contain himself when he saw it. It was $6.97. I also found a twin size bedskirt still in it's package for $1.99!!!!
For the dining room that I'm in the process of turning into a butlers pantry I found two sets of brand new curtains from JcPennys for $12 total! Now I never would have picked this pattern new, but it is beautiful and for $12 to dress both windows I can not pass that up.
I also got my son a red and black check plaid Fedro (spelling?) He just was dying for it, it was so cheap, and he was being so good I just couldn't say no. Dipped into the clothing envelope.
I stopped in the food store and found Febreeze refills for the plug-ins on the clearance rack for $2 and 4 boxes of gluten free brownie mix for $1.89! Gluten free products will kill a grocery budget.
I then went to the dollar store and found bacon, expensive beef hot dogs (that at Wegmans are $7 a pound) Green giant pound and a half bags of brocolli florets, shoepeg corn and baby peas. Frozen blueberries, a giant bottle of ketchup and a box of sugar-free drink singles.
Today was a bumper crop kind of shopping day!~~~
