Yep, it was one of those days. My little guy was dying to get out of the house and I had some things to drop off at D.I. from my Organization Workshop (15 min of decluttering a day for a week). The problem is I came home with as much as I dropped off. Darn you $1.50 items that taunt me and beg to be in the back of my car. So here they are, the fruits of my temptation.
The $3 toy tool bench I bought a few months ago got some new friends, 50 cents each.
Garden shovel: Images of beautiful flowers I planted in spring, my son’s new fave toy $1
Mini candlesticks: I will be using two of these to make curtain tie backs for the little guys room. The rest of them, uh, er, they were 50 cents people. I will find a use for them eventually.
*edit: This is a sickness. I wrote this post last night and then had some things to drop off at D.I for my hubs today. I could not help to go in and see what treasures loomed. I gave myself a limit of $5 and laughed when I walked out with exactly $5 of stuff. Go me. So here is today’s moment of weakness.
- How could I pass up another bag of balls for the kiddy pool ball pit? It might actually look semi full now! And they were only $1.50. I paid $10 for the first bag at Toys r us.
- My son would not let this little people pirate ship out of his site. He held it the whole way home. I just need some people for it now.
- Ok, the Darth Vader stuff is for Halloween. I am pretty sure my little guy is going to be a robot and I saw that little bucket and thought his dad would get a kick out of it. Then, I saw the helmet. My big guy, well we usually make up his costume that morning so how easy will it be to throw on that helmet and some black clothes. Or I thought it might just be funny for him to take to work. He works at a software company, ya know. My friend Krista is dying right now. I know, I know.
I’m linking up with Trash to Treasure Tuesday over at Reinvented and 2nd Time Around Tuesday at A picture is Worth 1000 Words. Go see all the other great finds!

Good grief, that is a LOAD of treasures! I love the table and candlesticks especially. By the way, I have the same problem when I donate stuff; I bring home more.
Those are some awesome things! I did pretty well today at the thrift myself, but that really is an exceptional haul. Something for everyone and then some.
Fabulous finds!
Love the little bomber jacket –how adorable!

The best part is that you actually have a place for the things you buy. It’s so hard to leave a place like D.I. empty handed! There are too many great finds and the prices tend to seal the deal. I can’t wait to see what you do with that little table 🙂
I just realized it has been far too long since I went to D.I. find some great stuff. PS You can drive through donate if you really want to be strong and not get anything but what is the fun in that.
What DI are you going to? Mine never has good stuff like that!
I can’t wait to see your repainting of the shelf, you got some amazing deals!
What a great blog! I love finding fellow LDS bloggers.
