Orange Day

Clever title huh? I am the worst at coming up with a title name. I hope to get better in time, like fine wine, or something like that. Today was orange tag day at Savers and I went in planning to only get something with orange tags so it would only be 99 cents. I did not quite accomplish my mission, such is life. Here's what I got.

When I went last week I got the Christmas tree candle holders and when I got home I wished I had gotten the Snowmen too. I was so happy when I saw them there today. They were only 99 cents, with a green tag I might add. The black candle stand/holder was priced at $3.99 but it had a orange tag so only 99 cents for me. Yay. I am not going to paint it, for now. I will find something to put on top. It is actually pretty tall.
She was priced at 4.99 with a orange tag so I grabbed her up to. I will eventually paint her but I am not sure what color yet and/or where I will put her. She is also a tall lady. Why do I keep calling "it" her?
Bowls, gotta love em. I got all of these for $3 at WallyWorld. They were in the 4Th of July clearance section. They are pretty good plastic bowls too. Good find for me.

Now I really like this one! Anyone know what kinda jar it is? It comes off in 3 different sections. Was priced at $1.99 with a green tag so I paid full price but I really like it. I think it will be cute to put different colored M&M's in it around the different holidays.
Well that is all for now. Til' next time....

    The clear glass item is a candy jar that at Christmas time people fill each layer with different colored candies for a decorative touch. BUT I have seen lots of wonderful other uses ... put sea shells in them, rose petals, etc. Great buys ... TTFN ~Marydon

    My WM sold out of their 4th of July clearance really fast so I was only able to snatch up a few acrylic bowls and paper plates. Love your bowls! Those will come in so handy to have around the house, especially the red ones at Christmas.

    Bargain hunting is so much fun. I love your items and the tree candy dish will be fun at Christmas. Wow, talking about Christmas already is making me nervous. Big smile.

    Hugs...Jeanne

    Like the candle holder. I also posted mine today and am using them to hold my vintage hats. Too tall for candles!

    I think you did a great job! The tree would look good with M&Ms in it - any time of year :)

    I have the same glass container that my 92yr. old aunt gave me. I'm glad you found one. M&M's will be perfect in it.
