Fun Finds!

Why is it that when you go out shopping and you're not really looking for anything, you find plenty to buy?! Today the Future Hubster and I went out to a few of our...okay...my favorite stores. :-) The first stop was to The Liquidators, a neat little store that always has great deals.

It carries overstocked, discontinued, or slightly damaged items and I usually find something interesting!

If you read Shanon's blog, Bless Our Nest, she talks about a store they have in Arkansas called Oops. Her store is so much cooler than my little store, her's is full of overstocked home goods! The Liquidators has a very small section of home goods, but I was lucky and found some beautiful picture frames today!

I just couldn't buy one, I picture these two complementing each other wherever I decide to put them. I doubt they will go up in my current house, I think they might get put with the rest of my "future home decor" that I have in my office closet. I am currently hoarding lots of cute home decorations that I'm saving for after the Future Hubster and I move into our new home as newlyweds! I just can't wait for that.

I am always on the lookout for teaching supplies that I can use when I have my own classroom next year. I was thrilled to find that The Liquidators had some teaching supplies today!!!

This Calendar Kit is SO CUTE! It has a large calendar with adorable month titles, seasonal stickers, cut outs, and even came with books about the seasons and crafts for kids! The best part...it was only $11! Talk about a steal, I am in love...I wish I had a classroom to put it up in now!

I also found this adorable little mailbox that teaches kids how to write letters! It was only $2! I just can't wait to have a classroom of my own to store all of the things I buy! My office is bursting at the seams with teaching supplies, materials, and books! Another plus..The Liquidators is conveniently located right next to one of my favorite places on earth..Hobby Lobby :-)

I love nothing more than strolling the aisles of "HobLob", as I lovingly refer to it! Today I had the pleasure of doing just so with the Future Hubster in tow...let me tell you, there's nothing like going through Hobby Lobby with a man along for the ride. He usually doesn't go with me, and was actually great company and I think he had fun! Although, if you were to ask him I'm sure he would deny that ;-) I was lucky enough to find a pair of iron candle holders that were marked way down.

They were originally $24.99 a peice but I got them for $8.49 each! They are missing the glass section that is supposed to hold the candle, but I think it will be a fun challange to find the perfect glass candle holder to fit them! I have also started to look for blue and white or blue and yellow items beause I want my future kitchen to be blue, yellow and white. For Christmas this year my mom got me a bunch of towels, bowls and other items in those colors for my future kitchen! Today at Hobby Lobby I found the cutest little blue and white decorative jar?(for lack of a better term!)

I'm not sure what it's official name is but it was on sale for $2.50 and I just had to have it! All in all it was a very successful day, and don't worry I got dragged into...I mean went with ;-) Future Hubster to the Army Navy Surplus Store AND Academy Sports and Outdoors.  So he got his fair share of "boy shopping" in! I can't wait for tomorrow to go to...The Flea Market!!! :-) Hopefully this good shopping fortune continues!
