Banner day!!! Does anyone have an
Ollies Army near their house? Well, I have one that's not too far and finally went in. I have a friend who has the most beautiful planters and she told me that's where she gets them. Anyway, I saw they had them in their flyer and decided to check them out. I scored! I also got some nice hummingbird feeders for 14.99 each. They're glass bottles and they have a perch. I like the one's with a perch.
These are all heavy planters - no plastic crap. Please excuse my patio it's kinda dirty right now.
I don't even want to know what these would cost at Lowes or Pikes. I bought a plastic one at Lowes about the size of the one in the last pic and it was 50.00.
These two were 12.99 each.
This one was 17.00
This one was 20.00
Then I went to the thrift store and scored again. BTW, Sunday is the best day to go to get the 1/2 color at Goodwill. They change their colors every Sunday at my store, anyway.
I got some beautiful napkin rings and a bunch of very pretty cloth napkins. I love cloth napkins and they're actually quite expensive. I got two different sets of glasses. One set looks very similar to a set I've been eyeing at Kohls for 40.00
- I got mine for 3.00. Yay! And the other set matches a set of bar glasses I got at the thrift store a few months ago. I also scored some very nice decorative towels. Those things are pricey new but you can find them at the thrift store in like new condition for a 1.00. People get rid of them when they change their decor, I guess. I also scored a cute pie dish (see pic) for 3.00. I buy those all year and give them out with pies in them for the holidays. People seem to like getting them and it's not an expensive gift. I saw a beautiful Fitz & Floyd Christmas platter but I didn't buy it because it was 8.00 and that color is going half price next week. I plan on being there at opening time to grab that beauty. At 8.00, it's a steal but it's been there a few weeks and I don't think it's going to move for that price. Here's the exact same platter at
Wayfair for 42.00. I'll give that to someone with some of Granny Bernice's sour cream cutout cookies.
I got a few other nice thing but what I'm really most excited about is my T-rex. I got him for 3.00 and plan on turning him into a planter. My kids think it's going to be the tackiest thing ever but I think it'll be quirky. I like that kind of stuff. Anyway, I haven't decided what color I'm going to paint him but I plan on sitting him next to my front door.
My cute pie dish. It says,
Isn't this a dainty dish set before a king? from Sing a Song of Sixpence on the lid.
My t-rex. He's a big one. He comes up to my knees.
Here's what I plan on doing with him. Any color suggestions? My front door is red, my shutters are black, and my house is stacked stone and tan. I have a covered front porch with a swing on the end and two red Adirondack chairs on it. I also have hanging ferns but I keep killing them.
