I Can’t Be Trusted at the Big Sale

Angie's Elephants

Let's face it, I don't have any more space in my house for any new furniture. So, when I headed out today to the Big Sale at Faith Farm, I knew I'd be buying some pieces to re-do so I could sell them. But, I think I might have gone a little overboard today. I just know that my husband probably will be accompanying me to the next sale, and holding on to the credit card. Yikes. Here are a few of the things I bought today.

There is nothing I like more than to save money. It makes me a little giddy when I find a sweet deal on something I need, as opposed to just something I want. Today, I went to Faith Farm to find a bedside table for my son's room. No luck at all. But I did find some lanterns with potential, and they were an additional 50% off their $5 and $10 posted prices. Good stuff, but nothing post-worthy. I decided to call it a day, and as I always do, I did a final walk through before I left. As I headed to … [Read more...]
