Friday's Finds

Perhaps my favorite things about Tar-jay are:
1. The in-store Starbucks (WHEN I have a gift card!)
2. The snack bar (for popcorn for my son)

Yup. Starbucks for me, popcorn for him. It works. Today, it bought me time to cruise Tar-gay leisurely and do a run through the nearby Dollar Tree, all in one fell swoop.

Aren't you dying to know what I got?? Good.

Let's start with the ol' Dollar Tree.

First of all, I saw these pumpkins recently on

A Day in the Life of Bella

Who had heard about them from

Susie Harris's blog

Both lovely blogs with tons of bargain decorating ideas!!

Yep. $1 each. Wooooo-hoooo!!!

I haven't officially started decorating for fall yet but I couldn't resist setting these out. What a nice fallish touch!!



You know about binder clips, right??? These are fruity and so adorable!! They had bigger ones in a pack of 4 but I went for the highest bang for the buck.

They can be used as...



PHOTO HOLDERS!!



Or to hold up a recipe card or, heck...just a cute card!!



Now on to Target. Nothing major here. I actually raided our change jar and put $8 worth of quarters into a plastic baggy to justify this purchase. Four more sets of much-needed envelopes and these doggon cute flowers I've been admiring for ages. One or two flowers per card means I can make at least ten cards with these. And they match some paper I have already.



And as a side not, I whipped up this card for my friend who has recently relocated back to Arizona. The quote says, "There is a place called home where my heart can rest." One less buck I had to spend on a card, right?? :)



Happy bargain hunting this weekend!!

Ilove your pumpkins! In fact, I was just saying how ready I am for fall! It is truly my favorite season...the falling leaves, the pumpkin patch, hot spiced cider...I can't wait.

Helloooo!!! On the picture of the card for your friend - how'd you get the glitter?

Great finds this week! I haven't been doing any shopping but hope to catch up over the weekend.
