Deal of the Day

I’m a bargain hunter. I really enjoy the excitement of getting a good deal. I can’t help it, it is in my blood. My Nana was a coupon extraordinaire. My dad is a known dumpster diver. So, I check the online ads each Sunday morning (or at 2 am on Saturday night if I’m still awake) for the deals of the week. I was elated to find ribbon half off this week at Hobby Lobby, so I went in to pick up a few (dozen) spools of ribbon and came out with the “Deal of the Day.”

I was heading to the checkout line, I swear I was, but then I saw this 900 year old man carting a cool looking hutch to the back of the store and out of the corner of my eye, I saw a “sale” tag swinging in the breeze. So, I stalked the guy and right after I saw him take the hutch off of the dolly, I strolled over to take a peek. Original price $499.99 Holy Smokes! Oh but there was that sweet loving red tag.... “Now marked $100.00” It had to be mine! He was probably less than happy to load it back up and cart it back to the front of the store but whatever.

And just so you know, I did get the ribbon that I originally went into the store for. And to the cashier – no, sir, I do NOT have a shortage of ribbon at my house, thank you for asking.

Here’s the hutch with nothing on it:

And here she is, all dressed up.

Check out that ribbon holder at the top, just ran a dowel rod through the iron and ta-da! Perfect fit! I’m going to get another dowel and put in another level... so I can get more ribbon!

And just because, there’s nothing cuter than a jar full of buttons!
