Shopping: The hunt for home decor


 T
here are a few places where I look for good things to decorate my home.  I like things I can craft or ideas that will work, so I do not always need to buy anything or just something that is about $3.  Here are the places I like to go:

Thrift stores

Dollar General

Rite Aid

At thrift stores, I like to purchase photo frames.  You can get boatloads of them, sometimes they are only $1. I use these to hang photos, or take a calendar page or something I have printed out and put them in frames. I have a page that I printed out that has written on it, "In the morning when I rise Give me Jesus.'  I put it in a white frame and paired it with a painting of a flower my very artistic daughter gave me for a birthday present.  This was presented in a white frame, so I hung it near my bed.

At Dollar General or Family Dollar, they often have home decor that is different and very inexpensive. I bought some little farm-themed decor that is a flat mesh thing on which is an animal and the sound it makes.  I bought three, but only have two hanging currently: a cow with "Moo" on its body and a sheep with "Baa" on its body. It hangs near my farmhouse themed clock.

At Rite Aid, I can find seasonal type decorations for a very small price. Recently I bought an autumn themed door wreath, a tin pail with some autumn flowers and a pumpkin, and small owl salt and pepper shakers.

In a coming post, I will tell you about some of my wall hangings.  


NEW BLOG!!

 



New blog, new name, same old me. :)

I'm not a writer, but I hope to share with you things that have helped me in my life.  I'm an organizer, and a planner, and I'm kind of lazy.  I love the idea of old-fashioned home keeping.  I like to find deals at stores, I'm a thrift store bargain hunter.  I am trying to change my diet but old habits are hard to break. You know how it is!

So make some coffee or tea and stay around a spell.  Please don't forget to comment, I LOVE comments, as long as they are not impolite or just mean.  Then you will not be welcome, and I want everyone to feel welcome.

Blessings, Karen
