Frugal & Fabulous!

I'm linking this post up over at Finding Fabulous for Frugalicious Friday. Thanks to the delightful Jane for hosting!

Look what I found at Marshall's! Priced at $5.99; but wait ~ there's something missing off this cute little chair. Apparently, it is supposed to be a picture frame. I just like it because it's a chair. It was the only one they had and since it was missing "something", I asked for a discount at the register. I got it for $5.00! Hey, every little bit helps!

Luckily, these came in the mail this week.

And, I just happened to have a piece of black card stock!

As if it was made for it!

Isn't it cute? I love it even more!

A Rainy Saturday At Goodwill Brightens My Day

I took a trip to Goodwill this morning and my son {19} tagged along with me. I figured it had been a couple of weeks since the first time I ever went to Goodwill and they would probably have some "newer" stuff out.

Frames were on my mind this trip because I have some projects I'd like to make and I needed frames. I found these two that had kind of an antiquey look to them that I thought might work for one project. I'll be posting that Monday. These frames were $2.99 each.

I also found these Christmas frames ~ new in box! One I'm going to give as a gift and the "Let It Snow" one I'm keeping, since it matches a pillow I won from a giveaway by Susan at Between Naps on the Porch. These frames were also $2.99 each.

I was looking for pillar candle holders to paint and/or transform, but they didn't have any. I did find these cute little pots though. I may leave the one with polka dots alone, except try to make the dots white {they are more cream or tan right now}. The other one I will definitely paint. I think they are asking for a couple of cute little topiaries to dress them up. The pots were $.99 each!

Here is what I consider the scores of this trip.

I was fully prepared to do some shoving, grabbing and poking {only if necessary} when I saw this fabric. Which turned out not to be fabric but a curtain panel! It's still destined to be pillows and whatever else I can get out of it. I did start to sweat a little bit at the register because the cashier couldn't find a price sticker and they have a sign up that says "No price tag, no sale, no exceptions!". I tried to play it cool and look like I didn't care, but inside I was saying "please, please, please". I got it for $2.99!

The ultimate score was this storage ottoman my son found as soon as we walked in. The tags are still on it! It has a little tear in the top corner, which you can't even see unless you look. When we got home I checked Target online ~ this retails for $80.00. He got it for $25.00!! {Well, I paid, so I got it for $25.00 for him}.

Did I say the tags were still on it! Here it is with the lid up.

Here's the tear. Yeah, I know, you can't even see it unless you are that close to it!

Total spent: about $53.00! I'm thinking this is a pretty good Goodwill!

Frugal Finds From Target

Over the weekend I found a few things in Target's dollar section in the front of the store; I couldn't resist going through it to see what they had.

I got this 2 towel set of green kitchen towels for $2.50; another 2 towel set of red powder room towels for $2.50, and two sleeves of little, itty-bitty ornaments for $2.50 each.

I was very excited to see the little ornaments! The colors are very similar to the larger ornament sleeves I picked up at the Dollar Tree about a month ago {and blogged about here}. This size will be perfect for the new Christmas trees I picked up at Goodwill, which I blogged about here.
