I 'heart' cheap goodies....

I took a box of things to Goodwill today and couldn't resist a quick look around! Usually I don't find much but today I kind of went a little crazy...

Let me give you a closer look... first up, I was thrilled when I saw all this tassle - if you read The Nester, and you saw my recent post HERE then you'll know why ;-) These were only $2.99 each bundle.


I picked up two frames for $1.99 each. My goal is to collect a few nice frames, paint them all black and make a nice 'collage' of photos up the stairs.

next I picked up these two items... again I plan to paint them black and then I'll find a home for them somewhere around the house. I think the 'pedestal' will hold a very fat candle I have.

and lastly I couldn't resist some motivation for my 'eating healthy' plan... at $3.99 each, these books were a steal.


OK, so back to packing for me.... what are you up to today?

You hit the jackpot! I don't normally go to Goodwill but I went while my mom was visiting and I didn't find a thing. I so like the candle holder that you found and you can never have too many picture frames:)

Wow!! Great stuff. I love the candle holder. And the frames are a steal. I don't think I will ever buy one new anymore now that I have discovered spray paint!! lol!

I have looked through the South Beach Diet Cookbook before and it has some really fantastic recipes. I hope you share some...

Thanks for stopping by. I went to your Healthy Den blog first. Love both of your blogs!!

Hope 2010 has started off nicely!!
