Springy Thrifty Treasures and A Giveaway!

I have some Thrifty Treasures to share. Just look how cute and spring-y and Easter-y...

These are some really cute scrapbook embellishments from The Dollar Tree. I love the Hydrangea. That woulda cost a bundle at Michaels. These dishtowels with the bright stripes also came from The Dollar Tree. I just love that place!
On to the thrift store finds...

I found this tiny little flower dish at my favorite thrift store. It's the perfect size to put your rings on while you wash dishes. Isn't it just too cute!
I also found this bunny there. It's just perfectly chippy.
This little egg shaped bowl was originally from Target I think. My Goodwill is rather expensive, for a thrift store. But I did find this pedestal thingy. It's pretty much perfect as is, already painted and distressed. These little Easter pancake molds came from a garage sale. The molds are still wrapped in the original packaging plastic. I know, I know, I already showed you all this little vintage embroidered runner, but it seemed to go with the Easterish stuff, so I thought I'd just include it too.
Oh my! How'd that get in there? Not a bargain...straight from Target. But what would Easter be without speckled M&M's? yumm....All pretty good deals...And they can all be yours! I said I would do my first ever GIVEAWAY when my lil blog had 25 followers, and here it is!

As it turns out, the 25th was my dear friend Kelly, who I have known since she was one-year-old, and I was her babysitter. Now we are both stay at home moms taking care of our own kids (I got a late start...)

So, if you think that chippy little bunny, or anything else here, belongs at your house, just enter a comment by Friday (March 26th). You don't have to be or become a follower of my blog, but these are some of my favorite people! I'll have the Little Dude draw a name on Saturday and announce the winner. Please make sure I have a way to contact you, either through your blog, or an e mail. Good Luck!! Thanks for reading!

I will be linking up with Today's Thrifty Treasures at Southern Hospitality and NiftyThriftyTuesdays at Coastal Charm. I just love to see the deals everyone got.

Kelly said...

I feel so privileged to be included in your entry!! How exciting! I'm also quite relieved that me screaming "I HATE YOU!!" at the top of my lungs has not permanently effected our relationship in a negative way! I love you, deary and am so blessed to have had you in my whole entire life! I hope Little Man chooses me...we'll see!!

Laura said...

Kelly, I almost posted about that, but decided to leave it out, for your sake! Sweet girly, I love you too much to hold your baby separation anxiety against you! You think Little Dude will pick your name? Will you promise to give the M&M's to your girlies, cause I don't want to be responsible for messing up your points!
