Revisiting old haunts

Do you ever get out of the habit of visiting or shopping at places that at one point you frequented. A lot. I don't know why I stopped shopping at Big Lots. I guess it's because we moved to a different area, but I haven't shopped at one in probably over 2 years.

The other day I was driving to a store I don't usually shop at and drove past a Big Lots. I thought what the heck. I don't have the kids with me. I'll check it out and see what kind of deals they have going on right now. I remember that they had some good deals on things like picture frames, office supplies, and crafting supplies, but wow, Big Lots has started carrying some high end things.

I loved these building blocks. They'd be great in a more modern decor. Lucky little modern babies, but modern decorators/crafters could use these for some fabulous projects. I'm seeing table tops or maybe a lamp.

Barn stars! How great are these.

I loved this one. The colors and embossed details are so pretty, but at $25 it was a little steep for my budget that day.

I thought this outdoor chaise cover was a great buy at $9. No outdoor sofa covers so I was out of luck there.

Great price for Crocs.

Alright, I thought this was a great buy for a great stool.

These rugs were a great price. $150 for an 11'x13'. I was amazed it really felt like a good quality rug.

I got this black and white queen size quilt set in a bag. I think I'm gonna use the quilt to cover my window seat cushions and use the sham on the window seat as well. For $35 of black and white goodness I think it's great.

I'm adding this to Southern Hospitalities Thrifty Treasures Party.
