I love a bargain and I have found a few this week. So, today's Friday Finds are my frugal finds:) Normally, I do not find clothes for myself at Old Navy but I do like their dresses, skirts and swimsuits for Kate. And I will sometimes buy the boys a few things there. Well, today was my lucky day! I knew they were having a "stuff your bag sale" for 20% off but I did not know that if you were one of the first 50 customers today you got 50% off everything!!!! I was luckily #47!
I got Miss Kate these two dresses...
I also got her THE CUTEST Maxi dress. It is not pictured on-line but it is darling. She wore it tonight to Harry's baseball game. She fell on the bleachers and hit her head pretty hard. There is literally a golf ball sized lump on the back of her head. OUCH!
Plus, I got some pj's for Kate and some shorts, shirts and flip flops for the boys. And I even found a nice pair of white pants for myself. It was such a great deal. Thank you Old Navy for the surprise!
My other frugal finds this week were at Ikea. Again, I am normally not a big Ikea fan but I was looking for some inexpensive white linen sheers for Kate's room. I did not find them there. But I did find these great little juice glasses.
They are perfect for little hands and morning orange juice and they were only $1.99 for six! I LOVE that price point.
I also picked up four of these (at 89 cents each!). They are very, very similar to our Williams Sonoma Picardie tumblers at one-fifth the price. Since we got rid of all our plastic, I have noticed that we go through our glasses much quicker.
Finally, I bought this little lamp for Kate's room. I am not 100% sure I am going to keep it because it takes a special bulb that I might be against. But it is awfully cute for $19.99.
They also had enormous, beautiful orchids that I bought but am too lazy to take a photo. These live orchid plants would easily be $50-$75 dollars at my local florist. Ikea had them for $19.99.
Kate's room is almost done. The paint looks great thanks to my husband. I have ordered white linen sheers from Restoration hardware and I have a few other finishing touches to do. I will hopefully post photos next week. Have a great weekend!
ooooooo...can't wait for the reveal of Sweet Kate's room:)
ReplyDeleteI can't wait to see Kate's room! I love that lamp from Ikea, it's so fun to go there. I hadn't been until I went to the one in Dallas at Christmas, it's not really my style, but it's just neat to go and I found a lot more there than I thought I would.
ReplyDeleteSo how did it feel to go shopping?
ReplyDeletetee hee

Hi Kim,
ReplyDeleteLove, LOVE, LOVE the dresses you found for Miss Kate! I, too, am not a fan of ON for myself but do love them for the girls.
I have followed your blog for a couple of years now, and comment occasionally. I have a question for you. I am hosting a "thank you" breakfast for Marin's Pre-school staff the week of Teacher Appreciation. I have search the internet for sites that could give me "tablescape" ideas. I am wanting to use the hot pink/green theme. I was wondering if you have any sites that would work for me??? I know you love those colors as well as Lily Pultizer. Also,any great recipe ideas? I am needing things that I can prepare the day before due to the fact that the breakfast will begin at 8AM!!!!! You can email me at jenmetoo@aol.com.
Thank you SOOO much for any help and ideas!
Jennifer

ReplyDeleteVery nice finds. That lamp is really sweet.
ReplyDeleteCan't wait to see Kate's room.
Jill
awesome finds! I love good deals you know that! Can't wait for the big reveal!!!!
ReplyDeleteWow - great Old Navy finds!
ReplyDeleteI also bought the Ikea glasses and love them. I got rid of all our plastic and invested $3.98 on 12 of the glasses. They are terrific! I also picked up the same lamp for a friends room. Love the lamp but not totally crazy for the shade. We haven't had much luck finding another shade but are working on it.
I am really looking forward to the reveal on Kate's room. I am sure you will be excited to have it done!
Cannot wait to see Kate's room, I love when you decorate...I love to see what things you put together, always turns out lovely!
ReplyDeleteAnd the Old Navy finds - I have discovered it is always hit or miss there, you either find a bunch or leave empty handed...sounds like you found a bunch :)
Now, I am in the mood to shop...not good, I better go clean something instead!
Have a great weekend.

ReplyDeletePoor Kate...I hope her head is ok?
Such great bargains!! I know what you mean about Ikea lamps- they are so cute and affordable but the bulbs are frustrating.
ReplyDeleteI was commenting on Joni's site and saw that you may have gone to the sale she posted about. Did you go? Any fab finds there??? The pictures were amazing- those chests!!! Beautiful.
Wow! Those are some great finds! Love Old Navy for my girl too and that lamp is so adorable. Wishing there was an Ikea in my neck of the woods! Hope you have a great week!

ReplyDeleteHey Kim,

helpusbringourboyshome.blogspot.com
I think you will find some awesome finds...I thought of you when I looked through it...if I knew I was for sure going back to China for a darling daughter I would be buying up!!!!
Hmmm.....her main blog is celebratingeverydaylife.blogspot.com
ReplyDeletetry going there and scroll down a few posts and she links her other blog....If the above doesn't work she is listed on my blog list....Celebrating every day life...you can see I didn't know about Matilda Jane dresses when my girls were little..I noticed I spelled it wrong..LOL!
What fabulous finds and deals! I have the same WS glasses and might need to invest in the Ikea ones too!
ReplyDeleteThey also carry the picardie tumblers at World Market in all sizes if you ever need to add to your collection.
ReplyDeleteI LOVED the maxi dresses at Old Navy this year! I got the straw cowboy looking hat (Hannah Montana if you are Mya) & it is darling with the maxi & some flip flops!
ReplyDeleteI, too, can't wait to see Kate's room. I have slowly (ever so) been working on getting Mya's done too. We are coming up on one year of living here! Woops!
Love your Ikea finds too!
I LOVE all of your little finds! I think Old Navy has become one of our favorites....such cute stuff and unbelievable deals!!
