Deals!

I love the after Xmas sales, even if I don't buy a lot...

So I headed to Holt & Renfrew (home of the crazy expensive cookies) to see what they had to offer.

Hum, 20% on top of 40% off? Count me in; if the price is right of course!

 

Well I bought some Daarjeling tea for 5$ instead of 14$

and some other items that will remain secret for the time being!

 

I did see the big glass jar of cookies that was around 50$ instead of 120$, which is a good deal but like my co-worker Debbie says: it is a lot of money for cookies!

 

I also saw this...

 

 

A lovely baby sweater...

 

 

 

72$ for a baby's sweater? Really?

 

FREAKY!

 

This is just a glimpse of the rich people universe.

This is the kind of sweater that Kim Kardashian would buy for her baby.

I'm just saying.

 

CRAZY!

No Knits For Me!

I was really excited to get the Bargain Issue from Country Living in the mail this week!

I'm all about affordability, recycling, re-using, re-purposing. Just give me spray paint, hot glue and duct tape and I'm there baby!

So i'm enjoying my magazine, taking it in, loving all the pics and the tips and the bargains.....

When I see this....

and start feeling strangely ill....

Now just what is this??? They screwed a bulb in an old sweater? They actually covered a lampshade with an old sweater! AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!

Give me CPR please! I just saw the dust and the cat hair stuck all over!!! I'm not a big duster and I don't see myself vaccuming the sweater like every second of my day. With 4 cats I soooo need smooth surfaces so the hair doesn't stick! And check out the vase at right, it would be a mohair vase here!

The sweater covered pillows I can handle, but no lampshades or vases! Please!

I bet we'll see a lot in Etsy...

Happy friday!
