Thrift Store Visit 2.0 & Checking Out Home Decor

Happy Wednesday, all!  I hope your week is going well...the weather has improved here the last day or two!

Daughter & her new husband put an offer on a home, outbidding another buyer & were successful in their offer!  The sale is pending a home inspection....if there are no issues....they hope to take ownership the first of March!  The home is in a rural area...concerns me a bit...(I need the white of city lights)....a  security system will make a great house warming gift.... 

Let's continue on with my visit to the thrift store....just a few things that caught my eye....these cookie cutters were in a bag for $3.00.....I purchased them...two Christmas trees, a ghost, a star....and who wouldn't love a lobster shaped cookie?

This bowl was originally from Home Sense....I know because I had previously purchased one in a mustard colour...and used it for Liesel's water bowl...I still have it so I don't need this one....

This tea pot from Tim Horton's coffee shop is a collector's item...and while I am a tea drinker....I don't really need a tea pot...

A couple of times a year....usually Hallowe'en & Christmas....Tim Hortons will put out holiday mugs....such as this one....priced at $2!  Add to cart....yes please

A shopper in the store saw the mug in my cart & stopped to inquire how much the mugs sell for at Tim Hortons, when they are available.   I replied more than $2 for certain!  Usually, they sell for $14.99....or thereabouts....

Tarts!!  Not in any scent that I like though....so I didn't grab them....tempting as it was....

I did pick up this piece of folk art....for the outside pool deck wall....and although it was priced at $13.99...it scanned at checkout for $6.49....score!!  It has a secure wire on the back....all ready to hang!

How cute is this adorable dachshund case?  I didn't open to see what treasures it held inside....crushing on those roller skates!!

While I was out....I stopped into Inspired Living...they are still clearing out their Christmas decor...this overpriced tree ornament is adorable....but even at 50% off....is still pricey....

 

Now, you know I fell hard for this guy.....and he danced & played music!   Cute as he was....I resisted..

Mr. Seventies was surprised I didn't come home with this!  Does this man not know how much money I save him when I don't buy everything in sight??  Geez....

I don't know what to say about this canvas....who doesn't love a couple of goats in a bathtub?  

Couple of cute cushions....they were on 50% off....they did carry a good selection of pastel Christmas ornaments & decor....

This one is cute....and so true!   Nothing better than an awesome nap!!

I'm loving this pretty footstool!   The last thing I need is another piece to trip over...it would even look pretty in a bedroom....

I love the smell of coffee....not that I drink it...Mr. Seventies does...this candle, which I did purchase...smells amazing under my light...(rather than burning it....it sits on a wooden base with a pretty light over top.....melting it).

It's soy with wooden wicks (I have no luck burning wooden wicks btw)....it currently sits on the kitchen counter & smells amazing...

Lastly, did you ever not read cards thoroughly before purchasing?   I had picked up this pretty card a few weeks ago in anticipation of daughter's wedding.  Imagine my surprise when I went to sign it....and actually read the front of the card!!  Thankful I had time to pick up another one...

While a beautiful & a great card....daughter's spouse is a male!  They had a great chuckle when I shared this with them...

Note to self - in the future.....read cards carefully!

Thanks bunches for sharing a bit of your day with me!

Til next time....
