I heart tjmaxx

I mean, who doesn't, right?!  I'm working on my next party - this time it's a couples shower and I have to say, I'm pretty excited about it!!  I made a quick run to tjmaxx over my noon hour and stumbled upon these wooden "baskets".  It was love at first sight!  The ideas start running through my head a mile a minute!  I bought 2 full sets (at $15/set how could I not?!) since I love symmetry and have learned that I should just make a habit of buying things in pairs :).

I also stopped at my new favorite store after work...Goodwill!  The Goodwill by my house is the golden ticket, no joke.  Since I'm somewhat new to the Goodwill experience, I love learning the best way to get an even better deal.  The first Saturday of the month everything is 50% off, orange price tags are 50% off their marked price, and if you spend $25 or more, you get $5 off your purchase!  So, tonight I walked away with 3 amazing picture frames, a mirror, 2 vintage flat sheets, a men's plaid shirt and a wooden pony - all for the party I mentioned above.  Curious how that all goes together?!  Ahhh...just wait and see!  It's gonna be good!!!! :)

  1. Love goodwill. People think I'm uber-cheap cause I wait until they have 50% off, but that's when you can really capitalize. My dad-in-law and I recently made a wedding card box using old picture frames. I'll have to send you a picture. Love all the creativity. Keep it up! Also, love TJ Maxx.

  2. Did you get those at the TJ Maxx store in Cool Springs? I love those. Love Good Will too. I need to go there more often.

  3. Yes, purchased them at the TJ Maxx in Cool Springs, but I hate to tell you I pretty much wiped out their stock. They sell each "set" in individual pieces, so while I got the only 2 large pieces they had, they still had 1 medium and 2 small I believe. It's highly possible that the TJ Maxx in Brentwood has them too!
