What would you spend?

Would you spend $305.28 (including tax)on all of this?...........No?

Me either! After shopping (scouring shelves high and low) at some favorite places,

I only spent.....

........$93.09 TOTAL!!!

and I had so much fun doing it!
At Anthropologie, I bought this little plate and I must confess that I paid full price for the measuring spoons, but that is the only thing I spent full price on and I love them.

I also found the red and white placemats there and they will become pillows very soon.

The snowflake garland is from Black Lion Store that was highly recomended from the Nester

(you can find her blog on by sidebar). The Nester has her tassles for sale there and it is indeed a cool place to Shop in the Charlotte area.




Next, I found Christmas crackers at Homegoods on clearance, which I may end up using for a Valentine's dinner (Laurie, pretend you didn't see those.) All of the Christmas balls are from Target along with the polka dot boxes, red vintage-y star and the White Nativity Background. The little B & W Shade is from Pottery barn. The Noel banner is from Black Lion.

I had been looking at these pillows from Target all season and am happy to report they now are mine at 75% off. The basket is from Homegoods and I see it full of red tulips for Valentine's day, don't you? The polka dot towels where on Christmas clearance at HG's also. Back to Anthropologie for the cupcake cuteness and the teal bowl for my rings on my nightstand.

My goal was to find some red and white Christmas decor and some other

things that can be used beyond the Christmas season.

I believe I was succesful!

I think these items will be out for Valentine's Day...
Minus the Star.

Hope you enjoyed looking at my bargains!

Have a great day.

Blessings,
