A Winner and Some Thrifty Treasures!



I know you all are on the edges of your seats waiting to hear the big winner of my high dollar pumpkin giveaway...right? I was going to make you wait till the end of the post, but I figured you'd scroll down and skip the post anyway...so here goes! The winner is...drumroll please...


Comment #68 Mandi @ Finding Home


Yah...I am sooooo excited to send this little bag of white pumpkiny goodness to my sweet friend in Canada! Whoo-hoo Mandi...you WON. Shoot me an e-mail with your mailing address and I'll try to get it off in the mail tomorrow.




Now, on to my weekend treasure. My very favorite thing I found were these adorable shoes. I paid a whole dollar for them (Stuart Weitzman). I felt so sassy wearing these while leading the music at church today!



A HUGE seagrass looking laundry basket for $2. Love it!




Glass canister set from Pier One for $5. I am so excited to add this to collection of glass containers for my future craft room!





The cutest little set of cupcake party favor containers for $1. I am going to have to hide these really well from my 3 year old or they won't make it to her birthday. She would confiscate them for her play kitchen in a heartbeat!



And last, but certainly not least, a brand new (to us) bicycle for my 10 year old. I paid $15 for this bike, but it would easily cost $100 at the store.
SCORE!



If you'd like to see more thrifty goodness, head on over to Ms. Rhoda's place at Southern Hospitality. Her weekly Thrifty Treasures Party never disappoints!

OMG I love those shoes. You did get some deals. I am sure your son is going to love his new bike. You are so right, that bike would have cost so much more. Have a great week.

You are too cute...I hope that everyone sang at church and didn't stare at your shoes, LOL !
Keep saving for your craft room - I did and then I had almost everything needed ! Great other buys too - especially the bike !

Those shoes are just too too cute! And what a great deal you got on your finds.

You found some goodies! I have those cannisters and I use them in my pantry for instant packs of oatmeal, treats, and other things that the kids can easily see. I love them. I love the hamper too.

Have a great day!

Hugs,
Lee Laurie

I really like the hamper! Nice hampers are suprisingly expensive! A lot of great finds!

Mandi @ Sweetly Home said...

First off, I am sooooo excited that I won your giveaway! Yahoooooo!!! Like I think I mentioned, I've been readnig about fall decorating lately and this totally gets me even more excited for my favorite season! Girl...you absolutely hit the motherload with yardsales!!! Stuart Weitzmans for $1?! Those shoes are hundreds of dollars!! And way ridiculously cute!! Do you find yours comfy? I bought a pair of SW at a discount shoe store for $35 (not quiet the deal you got but the original tag was still on mine...$295!) and they are my favorite shoes to wear.

SarahJarnagin said...

Looks like you hit the jackpot! What amazing good prices on everything! Love the hamper and the glass containers.

Ashley said...

Gwen said...

Those jars will look great in your craft room!

{Rebecca Fellows} said...

Wow, nice job! Except I have a thing with used shoes...I think I need some therapy to get over that cause those shoes are SO cute! And you usually don't see those kind at church. LOL!

geek details said...

You scored big time with that bike! I'd love to find one near me for my son but it's looking like we'll have to buy new /sigh

Unknown said...

What super-thrifty finds! We have that same laundry hamper, but we paid full retail for it!

The Phillips Place said...

Love the sassy shoes! What a great weekend you had with your finds-- I love it all! My girls would flip over those cupcake containers too :).

Unknown said...

Wow, you did find great stuff! LOVE the shoes! AND the basket, AND the bike, AND the cannisters!

Richella Parham said...

Amanda! I cannot believe you found those shoes for $1. Way to go! Add that to all your other goodies, and you have yourself a good haul! Way to go.

~Kristen~ said...

I love love love those shoes!!!

Adie said...

I am so laughing about your comment! And now wondering why you bothered to buy a hamper! haha My family is the same way and I am super anal retentive. So when my house is chaos I just feel like I can't think. My big one with my family is why in the world can't you walk a few more steps to the trash can? Don't leave trash on my counters - I AM NOT THE MAID.

Rhoda @ Southern Hospitality said...

Girl! I love those sassy shoes. Way to go.

Sue said...

Cutie patootie shoes.... and you found some neat glass containers, too. Hampers are obviously something only women use. Men are known for leaving things on the floor. Sue

Unknown said...

Oh those shoes are killer! Your other finds are fabulous too. You've motivated me to hit some garage sales and thrift stores this week..

Pam Walter said...

Your wonderful finds make me really want to hit the garage sales here...just as sooon as it's not 110 degrees any more. :o) www.satisfiedsole.com
