My $4.00 wreaths....

...yes, you read that right. About three months ago - I happened to be shopping at a Goodwill and I was lucky enough to find 3 pre-lit wreaths for $4.00 each. They actually still had the "new" tags on them for $69.99. So out of a possible $210.00 - I spent a whole $12.00 - I LOVE GOODWILL!!!
Now, they are nothing too fancy - I jus' put on a lil' ribbon, some berries and ornaments and they add a lot of life to the walls. Next year when I have more time (that never happens) I'll do a lil' better with them - But for now, I'll just enjoy my bargains.
In the dining room...
In the den...

Over the bed...
You all have a wonderful day!

Oh my gosh Cathy, that is great. They are beautiful. I'm sure you added your touch to them. Love the one over the bed, never thought of that. I went to Goodwill last week and found a couple of little things, but I never find anything that good.

Cathy said...

Melinda said...

Love your bargains! It sure make you wonder why someone wouldn't keep something that they spent soooo much money on!
They are all very pretty.

Oh Cathy!
Those are so cute! You did a great job jazzing them up! I had to giggle because I was remembering when I bought some pre-lit wreaths and hung them outside in our Kansas winter and by morning they weren't working anymore. Too cold! I love all of your embellishments on them! They a fabulous! Even better that you got such a great deal, what a find!

Smiles, Nancy
