I had big plans to redo my pillows. I was going to paint some with fabric paint (that I don’t have). I was also going to recover some by making pillow shams out of fabric I got for another project. Did I mention that I don’t have a working sewing machine? Well I don’t. So much for my big plans! But I saw these beauties at the 99 Cent Store yesterday.

For just a few bucks, and in a few minutes, I turned this (garage sale pillows I got for .50 cents apiece):

Into this:

Saving time and money? Bargain of the week! I am working on another pillow that I have been inspired to do by one of my favorite bloggers…

I got this sunburst mirror at Target on clearance for $7.99! I had been wanting one and I am pretty sure it was cheaper than I could have made it. Enter the bargain of the week!

Ok, so I need to take the sticker off – ha!

I have been looking for some outdoor mats for awhile. There seems to be some unwritten law of the universe that once I finally figure out a place and a purpose for a 99 Cent Store Product, and go back to get it, it is no longer there! But I kept looking and finally found these indoor/outdoor mats for the backyard.

Perfect for getting out of the jacuzzi. Love that this shot has Bella’s paw in it

The bargain of the week is this cute floppy hat I got at the 99 Cent Store.

Check back tomorrow to see what I did to Lovie it up…

OK, so I got this ring at the 99 Cent Store today. I bought it because it was so cute and it reminds me of a vintage drawer pull. I saw it again later at a thrift store for twice the price…bonus!!!

I love Thrifting, I really do, but many times I have seen things at thrift stores for two or three dollars that I knew came from the 99 Cent Store. It pays to know your prices!!!

I thought I was over my Van Gogh phase. That is, until I was at the 99 Cent Store today, and I saw this Van Gogh wall plaque!

It looks perfect in my kitchen! Finding this Irises wall plaque is like finding a Pollock in the attic, sort of, not really but it makes me happy anyways…

I got these happy lanterns at the 99 Cent store:

At 99 Cents each, they are totally the bargain of the week! Whoever said money can’t buy happiness didn’t know about the 99 Cent Store!

I got this Blingy peace sign bracelet at the 99 Cent Store this week. I thought it was a necklace but found it was a bracelet when I took it out of the package. Bonus – it fits around my ankle so it can be an anklet too!

I got this StriVectin at T.J. Maxx for $39.99. Now I know that the bargain of the week is usually a lot less than fourty bucks! But considering the fact that StriVectin usually costs $160, and this was probably a close out because they have changed formulas, I declare this a super terrific bargain indeed!
