I've Been Shopping!

Over the past few weekends I've been shopping!  I thought I would share with you some of what I found.

First up, whenever we get to the Southwest side of town I press hard to get Mr. B to stop by Kirkland's.  It's about a once a quarter visit for me and I was anxious to see what was new in Fall decor.  I was not disappointed.

Isn't this little trio of pumpkins adorable?  $9.99.  So cute!

I also found this little plate with stand at $5.99 to sweet to leave without.

The quote is perfect for a gardener like me!

Just to make sure my bag was full, I added this to my purchase.

It is battery operated and lights up.  The lights actual twinkle! Pricier than I normally like to spend at $24.99 but I don't see them lasting to any clearance sale, do you?

Next, I found a new addiction!  Did you know there are groups on Facebook for yard sales with out a yard??  Neither did I until a few weeks ago!  I'm hooked! Basically, sellers list what the have for sale, price & location.  You decide if you are interested, let them know and then pick it up.  I just happened to be perusing one of the groups local to me and came across a full set of silver plate flatware, service for 10, for $25, not too far away.

Oh yes!  I jumped right on it and it is now MINE!

It is Nobility Plate from Oneida from 1937.  I love the art deco design! Even Mr. B loved it and helped me to polish the tarnish off every piece!  I checked eBay and I think I got a HUGE deal!!

We're not done shopping yet!  Mr. B's mother is getting ready to sell her home and needed to borrow some bedding.  Since she is an hour away, we set up to meet in between, do some shopping and have lunch.  "In between" just so happens to be, wait for it, Kirkland's!  LOL! Yep!  I got to go twice in as many weeks! My MIL loves Kirkland's even more than I do, if that is even possible! Well of course, several new items caught my eye and came home with me.

I am such a sucker for decorative glass plates!  I love the colors, pattern and shape of this one. It is for sure going to be a wonderful addition to my Fall decor!

Along with this gorgeous vase!   LOVE everything about it!

We hit one more store before we went to lunch.  Another store I don't get to very often because it's not close, Pier 1.  I haven't been in a Pier 1 in ages and I was a tad shocked at the prices.  Eeek!  But then I remembered I had a gift card I hadn't used all up and Mr. B's mom had one she swore she was never going to use so, when I saw these salad plates, price be darned, they had to be mine.

Without gift cards, 4 would have been out of my comfort zone but WITH the gift cards, they were affordable.

You know I will be sharing a tablescape with these as the star soon!
