A Great Sale and a Valentine find...

Hi friends!  For those of you that have Gordman's stores in your area, they currently have 50% off of their clearance prices.  Our store still had a pretty decent selection.  I was able to buy 11 items for less than $25 and I had a $25 gift card!  I got some really cute stuff.  I should mention that I did get 3 Christmas items that were 75% off but still- 11 things!

Check out this Valentine's sign, it was really scratched up and I got it for $1.50. 




I took a black marker around the edges to get rid of all the white.  I then took a fine tip black pen to fill in the scratches on the front, then used a paper towel to wipe off excess ink and lighten it up so it doesn't look like dark black lines running through it.  I think it turned out pretty good for a buck fifty!  Now, where to put it...




Check out this cute little birdcage I got for 4 measley dollars...  four bucks!?  It was originally $30.  Isn't it cute!?  It's definitely one of those things that my sweet hubby will look at and say "what the heck is that thing... is that a fake bird?!" but I think it is darling.  It just looks like spring. I haven't decided on a permanent spot for it but I think I'll put it out with my Easter stuff for sure.



Thanks for stopping by- please "follow me" and come back soon! :)

  1. Great finds. I love the sign, and your patch up is perfect. Heck, the board has to be worth 1.50! And I have a weakness for birdcages, so that is a really sweet bargain to me. No Gordman's here (sniff). Looks like they were having a great sale. Have a great week. Kathy

  4. You did good, girl! Love those finds. I always says that we have to look at something not for what it is but what it can become. I don't know where I heard that but it stuck in my brain.

  7. I love the bird cage that you bought! Great find. And I would have never picked up the Love sign because of the scratches but now I just may be inclined to do that after seeing your little transformation with an ink pen.

    p.s. we had a gorman's in OK but I am not sure that I have one nearby now that we are in GA.
