Some day this shed above will be my own little store, Maggie's Lil' Fixins..... I can dream a little :)
So, I was looking for something in my big closet that holds all my house decor and this is a very large walk in closet on my second floor and I was digging around looking and looking and suddenly I saw a large Christmas bag that I had completely forgotten about! I pulled it out and what a surprise! A bunch of Christmas buys from after Christmas last year! I immediately brought it down and found inside some great stuff that I purchased for next to nothing last January from Family Dollar! Don't you love when you find something you forgot you had? It was like Christmas all over again!
Here's what I found in my goody bag:
Ornaments in gold and red purchased for 75 cents, 2 boxes of lighted garland for 1.00 each box, green and red bead garland for 25 cents!
A cupcake stand for 80 cents!
Snowman box & small lighted tree topper!
Dangle leg snowman and Santa candy holders for a whopping 50 cents each!!!!!
10 cents each!
adorable wreath made of jingle bells for $2! The most expensive item of them all!!!!
I was so shocked I forgot about this bag and so glad I found it! I'll have some fun with these items. If you have Family Dollar by you (it's a chain store) check them out for all the holidays and AFTER the holidays! You might make your own goody bag for the following year!
A few more goodies to show you: My husband has a customer who knows I love chickens and roosters and decorate my kitchen with them ( I actually just typed the word "chicken" instead of "kitchen" and had to correct it--I'm chicken obsessed.....) and when she was consulting with my husband for some work she needs done, she sent him home with this beauty:
How sweet of her! As my husband said "just what you need....."
Have a great day! And stay warm!
We had a light dusting of snow. Josie is definitely ready to dig out her sled. I need to get those leaves raked first though!! I love finding Christmas purchases that I forgot about. Have fun crafting and decorating. Your latest chicken acquisition is quite lovely.
ReplyDeleteMorning, the snow looks so pretty, none here yet.......So much fun, great goodies there, yipee!!!!! Love the chicken, Blessings Francine.
ReplyDeleteGood Morning! :-) Oh I am so jealous, snow!!! :-) You are so lucky, we have been having temps in the 100's again this week.. Oh my, I am so ready for winter to finally set in.. I love your goody bag!! Don't you just love when you find something tucked away that you forgot about, it truly is like Christmas.. What wonderful goodies you found and the prices are amazing!! Last weekend Steven and I took the kids to the swap meet in another town and I think we passed a Family Dollar.. I had never heard of them before, now I am thinking I must go back and check them out :-) Have a wonderful day!! Hugs~Melissa
ReplyDeleteThat's like getting an early Christmas present. It's always fun to look through Christmas pretties anyway but especially if they are brand new! Enjoy your week! (I'm ready to decorate, aren't you?)
