i hit the jackpot!

on saturday i was in stillwater and me, my sister and parents went to Wall's Bargain Center.  It's one of those places that you never know what you are going to find.  well...in my opinion...we hit the jackpot on this trip.  in the back of the store was a whole section of items from....
a n t h r o p o l o g i e !
if you have never experienced anthropologie i strongly suggest you do.  check them out at http://www.anthropologie.com/.  although, visiting their store is half the fun.  it is vintage, eclectic, country, innovative, creative, and modern all at the same time.  they have clothing, accessories, home stuff, bedding, kitchen thingy majigs, candles, perfume, a little bit everything.  you will probably either love it or hate it.  i happen to love it, but not it's prices.  in my opinion it is very pricey...so i go to the stores to lust and take pictures of things that i love, but can't afford, or just don't want to spend that much money on {remember how my tastes change???}




{notice the bottom left picture...it's a lamp but the base is made out of tea pots and saucers...so creative!}

so anyways, there was a whole section of anthropologie bedding and rugs and pillows.  i was in hog heaven!  everything was at least 70% off retail price maing it much more affordable to me.  here are some pics...


i walked out with a great quilt & shams that i blogged about yesterday, a curtain panel in a beautiful blue color, and a  90"x108" tapestry that is really neat with birds and stuff on it.  i also picked up some pillow shams and a tapestry for sarah as well.  it was super fun......
i love finding unexpected bargains!

this is what i'm talking about!



Dillard's Shoe Sale

you can't beat 70% off plus an ADDITIONAL 40% off!

this is why i love Dillard's:
-they have awesome sales
just a couple of weeks ago they had all their swim wear on a great sale...pieces for $7.99 and $9.99 (they probably still have some left). 
-their home department has great sales as well throughout the year....400 thread count sheets for $29!  complete comforter/sham/bed skirt sets for $60!
-shoe sales...just bought a pair for $15!
-oh...and i can't forget the purse's they have...and yes...they clear those out as well!


most of their sales tend to be towards the end of each season w/ the largest sales at the end of summer and then winter.  my parents are huge dillards shoppers and always seem to scope out the good deals first...i'll try and pass it along as well.

GAP is just as great at sales.  growing up when we would shop there, mom wouldn't buy it unless it was $14.99 or under b/c give it a couple weeks and they would drop the price {trust me, it drove me crazy then, funny how now i appreciate it and do the same thing}.  once she did buy something if the price went down w/in two weeks she could go back, present her receipt and get the difference back!  How cool is that?

so the moral of this story is:
be a smart shopper and don't pay full price. 
trust me, it is MUCH more exciting when you find a great deal!
what great deals have you found recently???
