Let's skip Winter & go right to next Spring??

$11.68 for 2 outdoor/indoor pillows & large herb planter ($2.99, $2.99 and $4.99)

Stocking up for next summer already?? Yup! I wanted one of these planters all summer long, and almost bought one at the Farmers Market for $15. The pillows are great - and will replace the ones that were on the deck furniture for the last 2 years.

Now if we could just get this darn winter out of the way...

Love Me Some Coach!

$14.99 for a like-new Coach Purse!

Yes, I know this style is a couple years old, but I love Coach & this is not a knock off, its the real deal. It is in almost perfect condition and the turquoise and white are a really cute combo.
I better hurry up and use this before Labor Day next week!! :)

Go Big or Go Home!

$16.99 for all these HUGE home furnishings.

($2.99 each for pillows, $6.99 for candle holder & $2.99 wicker star decoration)

The lady behind me in line kept talking about what great design pieces these are, and I agree with her! 

I put them by our fireplace just to show how large they really are... (and they are really big!)

Last Hurrah of Summer

$23.99 ($9.99, $6.99 & $6.99) for 

Franco Sarto L-Blast sandals, Tyler Rodan purse & Etienne Aigner leather purse.

These were all too cute to pass up!

Retail price on the Tyler Rodan is $79, and the shoes are $89.95 retail.

DIY day at Goodwill

$10.62 for a DIY bench makeover project

($4.99 bench + $4.99 curtain panel + tax)

This little bench was calling my name, it has some great details and is really heavy wood. Could be antique...?

It was great, but the floral fabric was screaming "RUN! Run far away!".

So I found the perfect thick 54 x 84 inch window panel to reupholster it with! (This will match my home office perfectly & I'll use material at the bottom of the curtain so I can still hang what's left to break up the white curtains I have in there now.)

Update: This was literally the easiest project I've ever done - using the skills I've learned by watching hundreds of hours of HGTV, it only took about 15 mins, and that's only because I had to reload the staple gun.

I think it turned out great, and my kitten, Uncle Rico, seems to agree :)

Fall is in the air!

$17.45 for the basket, 3 decorative plates, 6 metal napkin rings, and home accents by Willow.

(The two pumpkin plates & napkin rings were half off that day, so it was an even better deal.)

It's starting to feel Fall-ish, even though it's only the middle of August. 

To this I say: Break out the cider and let the Fall decorating begin!

The Key to my Heart

What is it? Good deals, of course!! :)

$6.36 for this cute lock & key hook and fleur de lis shower curtain hooks by Eclipse from Bed Bath & Beyond. ($2.99 & $2.99 + tax)

I am actually going to use this for a purse hook, and the shower curtain hooks to hang necklaces on.

You can have the shower curtain hooks for $14.99 here: https://m.bedbathandbeyond.com/bedbathbeyond/product/detail.do?itemId=12993668

Red Light District

3 designer purses: $30.85

(Talbots, Vera Bradley & Red by Marc Ecko)

Hmmmm one guess at what my favorite color is :)
They had all these & I couldn't decide which I liked best,
so I figured for 30 bucks I could have them all!

The Talbots purse is this beautiful pebbled leather & is more of the
Flame color that is my new all time Fav!

They are Hot, Hot, Hot!!

Oh Bath & Body Works, you never let me down.

$1.04 for Bali Mango lotion & shower gel - 3 oz size ($.49 each)

These brand new products are one of the new limited edition fragrances
this summer & each still have the $5 retail price tag on.

Mmmm Mangolicious!

Going Green!

$1.04 for 2 packs of cute napkins

(marked $.99 but 1/2 off that day & $.49)

These cracked me up. And also made me want to drink. What more needs to be said?!

Cashmere Scarf by Caroline Grace

$3.99!

This is an amazing deal & will probably end up as a gift for someone this Christmas.

The only comparable one I can find online is on Amazon, and it's $75 before shipping!

If you want a $75 scarf, here you go:

OH NO she di'int!!

For $19.99, oh yes I DID!!

These babies are pretty snazzy- look, even my kitten, Uncle Rico, can't keep his paws off of them.

Every time I look at these bad boys I hear my grandma saying 

"You could fall down and break your neck in those!".

Let's hope not Grandma, let's hope not...

A Toast to the French

$9.55? Ouí Ouí!!

Do I speak French? No. Have I been to France? No. But looking at my bathroom you would never know.

($1.99, $3.99, $2.99+tax)

If you'd like to buy your own little French soap dish like mine, you can here for $8 plus shipping:

Chico's Belts

Yup. You see the original Chico's price tag still attached that says $62. 

I paid $6.99 each, and they are MUCH prettier than they look in this picture.

It's just the Wino in me :)

2 metal trivets, 2 wine bottle shaped plates, and table mat: $11.66 

The other day I was in the mood for wine. I mean, more than usual... 

Goodwill to the rescue! Everything here is perfect for a little wine & cheese party.

I saw these flattened wine bottle cheese plates at the Uptown Art Fair for $30+, 

and this one was only $2.99!  

I'll use the metal trivets to put a bottle of white & a bottle of red on, 

and the other two for crackers, grapes and cheese. Yay wine!
