Friday Frugal Finds: planters, accent lights and more

April 26, 2013

(The winner of the $25 American Express gift card has been chosen by random.org.  If your name is Carolyn, you are the lucky one!)

It is a beautiful day for yard saling here in GA!  Have you seen or shopped any yard sales?

Last weekend, I stopped at the parking lot yard sale and picked up these 2 packs of accent lights.  I already have a kit to install in our kitchen under the cabinets that has a dimmer switch attached to it.  And these should plug right into that kit.  At $3 each, I couldn’t pass these up!  They would be around $20 in the store.

I also picked up these 2 white planters for $1.

I had a few things to bring back to Value Village so needed to find something to get with my credit.  (At our Value Village since they don’t have dressing rooms, they allow you to bring back items within 7 days for a store credit that has to be used right then.)  I found this open shadowbox/cabinet thing.  I am hoping to use it for earing storage as I desperately need something for that.  I would change out the fabric inside and touch up the paint.  But if that doesn’t work I will use it as a memorabilia holder and add it in our master bedroom redo when it gets done.

Did you find anything last week?  I am working on transforming a yard sale find from a few weeks ago and I can’t wait to show the after next week! Smile

    You scored on the lights Christina, since I bought TWO LED lights at Lowe’s (for under cabinets in kitchen), @ $14.99 each!

    I need something for my earrings as well. Would you just push them through the fabric? Or would you put something else in the shadow box?? I’ll take any tips you can give!!
