In my last post I mentioned I went to Michaels and they had some great stuff at 40-50% off. Stuff that I probably shouldn’t have bought, probably don’t need and will probably need to say, “What? That? We’ve had that for years! Where have you been?”.
I showed you the one little metal sign I had gotten and put on my yard sale basket that I spray painted white above. Here are the other two I picked up that day. They were 50% off at $1.99 a piece! I was thinking of doing something similar to the “Flower” sign on one of the other baskets I got, and hanging the whole deal with flowers on the gate that leads into my yard.
I also found that I {apparently} have a thing for cherubs ~ but only in my yard. I only just realized this at the end of last Summer and I have several in different areas. So I had to buy this little guy ~ again at 50% off for $7.99. His wings are metal.
I did get one item from Goodwill to share, too. This little candle lantern for $2.99. It matches the metal finish on my little table and chair set by our outdoor fireplace. It came with the glass votive and dusty candle inside, too! Just the right size for this little table.
My love for decorating extends to the outdoors at this time of year!
Linking up with Frugalicious Friday over at Finding Fabulous, with thanks to our lovely hostess, Jane!
Don’t forget to enter my giveaway! It’s for some of the great finds I got at Michaels and ends April 15th!
Love the cherub! How come my Michael's never has these great sales? You'd think they'd all have clearance sections and the same sale prices but noooooooo!
ReplyDeleteI think those signs are darling. I also think it is hilarious that we all use those sayings with our hubby's. "Oh, I have had that for years" and "Where have you been?" Whatever works, right.

ReplyDeleteGreat finds Kathy...especially those metal signs! I also love decorating outside. I saw some fabulous lanterns and tall candle holder's at Harris Teeter yesterday that I loved. But at $25 each I couldn't bring myself buy them. Ugh!!

ReplyDeleteHi Kathy,
ReplyDeleteI love those little metal signs, I'm going to get over to Michaels and buy some. You are making me jealous!
Do you know that I always wanted my name to be kathy. My Grandmom's name was Katherine with a "K" and I don't know why I wasn't named after her. Darn.
hugs

Great finds Kathy - I love the little touches we add to our outdoor spaces to make them feel like home!
ReplyDeleteStill waiting for it to warm up a little here in Ottawa before I get started with my outdoor decor - although we matched Miami last weekend, this weekend we are considerably cooler - brrrr.
Great finds! You just can't enough of those little lanterns going into summer.

not only were those signs great finds, but your idea about what to do with them was great. i am trying, thru blogging, to see the potential of items and look past color, etc, or how i can add to something to make it better.
ReplyDeletethank you so much for the kind words about my sunroom, and for stopping by the cape on the corner!
I just featured that 'bloom' sign in my Easter post, but I think I only got it at 40% off. I didn't know what to do w/ it either, but it was too cute not to pass up. Like the little candle too!
ReplyDeleteI love that little angel. And, great job on the wreath.
