Thrifty Finds!

We went to IKEA today to buy new pillows, and of course we left that damn store with hands full of stuff. WHY do they always have to put things on sale???

I wanted to have a red rug so badly because the multicolored LISBET rug underneath our coffee table doesn't match festive christmas decoration at all.
This red and white ALSLEV rug was half price and it is perfect for the holidays! 


My favorite picture frames were greatly reduced as well, so i had to buy them.


We bought some more useless knickknack and when we arrived back home one of our neighbors still had this box in front of his house, a large moving box that says "Take everything for free". This box had already been there on Saturday, but at that moment the only thing inside were kids ice skates and we definitely do not need those.
Today I took a peek nonetheless and the neighbor had restocked!
The box was full of items again but with MisterT grouching in the background i did not dare to look closer and quickly grabbed the one piece that caught my attention immediately.

His words are so true, i complain about all the junk we have and yet i can not resist dragging along even more. But how could i not have taken this beautiful old zinc planter??



It is charming! It was free!!

Is there anyone out there in blogland who can relate to my grabby behaviour?
