Friday FInds

Friday, April 16, 2010

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!

  2. I 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.

  9. Hi Kim,
    Love, 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

  13. Wow - great Old Navy finds!

    I 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!

  14. 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!

    And 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.

  23. Such great bargains!! I know what you mean about Ikea lamps- they are so cute and affordable but the bulbs are frustrating.

    I 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.

  32. I 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!

    I, 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!
