A few weeks ago, a friend and I went to Big Lots! for the first time. It’s actually pretty similar to the TJ Maxx and Ross stores we have in town. The prices are great, but the selection can be hit or miss. That’s okay, though. We weren’t looking for anything in particular, but I did find these:
I love the mother of pearl candle holder as it is, especially for $4.00. I thought it would make a great vase, too. The flower tea light however is begging for a coat or two of spray paint. Maybe a robin’s egg blue? Not completely sure about that yet, but for $3.00, I was sold. It’s actually like this one I found not too long ago from Michael’s.
I have yet to visit a Home Goods, and I REALLY want to go. Do you have any favorite shops?

Love finding deals at Home Goods, I buy frames there, my other go to spot has got to be Marshall’s they always have great items and I love Crate and Barrel clearance section 🙂
I’d live at Marshall’s if they’d let me. The various thrift stores around town are my faves, though. I never fail to find some fabulous forgotten item in need of a home.
OMG girl! You have got to get yourself to a HomeGoods. It is so much fun hunting down unique and fairly inexpensive home decor. You will be addicted. I have 2 within 10-15 minutes which I visit 1-2 times each weekly!
