You go in for a couple strands of thread and walk out with a bargain...

You have to love walking into a store with the determination that you're only going to buy a couple of strands of embroidery floss and walking out with not only a really great deal on a metal shelf, but also some cute wall decor too! I bugged the dear husband earlier to come with me to the craft store to refill a couple colors of thread that I've been needing and while we were there, we browsed down the clearance isles. It was there we found this great piece:

It's normally priced at $50, but we were able to snag it for $17!!!! Believe me, I had to do a double take when I saw the price tag!The dear husband was really fond of this too and at 50% off, I couldn't say no!

I know that I probably shouldn't be buying more stuff right now, considering we've got the move coming up in about 5 weeks, but I just couldn't pass these up! Did I get some great bargains or what??

It happens to all of us: we enter a shop for an item and leave it with sevral items.

Enjoy your purchase!

Love the big bottle cap! I do the same kind of thing at the grocery store -- go in for bread and milk...come out an hour later with 15 bags. :)
