The boys and I had a little time to hit the sales this weekend and whoo weee did I get lucky. But I will keep you in suspense. First, this tree. I know you might be thinking I have lost my marbles and gone season wacky, but I assure you I have not. One of the most valuable skills of thrift is patience. And I have been waiting patiently for this tree ever since I saw a great idea for a
"Wishmas Tree" at
Just a Girl. It only took me 6 months, but this year we will have a Wishmas Tree with the added bonus of delicious spicy smelling all spice garland.
This candle and holder (sold together for a couple bucks) were just too classically beautiful and versatile for me to pass up.
And finally, the one I have been dying to show you. The thing that will surely be my best garage sale find of the season because it was just such a huge steal. This adorable red Jessica McClintock jacket...new with tags...
...tags that say $159!!! And I got it for...are you ready??? .50 CENTS!!! LESS THAN A DOLLAR! Boy is that good stuff or what? That just makes me dizzy with resale glee.
What did you snag this week?

No sales for me this week, but you got the deal of the day with that jacket, that's for sure!
How fun!
That jacket i so beautiful. Love the colour and cut of it. I can't believe the price you paid for it!
Intrigued by the idea of a Wishmas tree - I'm heading over to read all about it!
