I love a good bargin. It makes me happy
I think the thing I love about it is the fact that the item is affordable enough to take home with me!
Here are some things that I am swooning over this week:
The 7 Habits of Highly Effective Families by Stephen R Covey – I have been on the hunt for this book to read for the Simple Mom’s Book Club. I bought the book from trademe (similar to ebay). The seller was 5 mins drive away from me, so no postage necessary. $10!
Singleton Flower Brooch – This lovely brooch was made by Ms SewFunky. I have been wearing it the last couple of days. Makes me feel very pretty! $10 + $2.50 postage!
Modena Bowls – I spotted these at The Warehouse yesterday, and just loved the colours. They will not be making an appearance in the kitchen, they will be living in the study as part of my home decor. $8!
Yummy yummy fabric - I think I actually “gasped” when I found this in the fabric bin at our local op shop/thrift store. I’m officially in love with it. For one meter….$3!!!!
It was my discovery date today. So I went out to get inspired and find fabrics for some sewing projects. 30%-50% off the discounted price of the sale fabrics at Spotlight Wellington! At Spotlight Porirua they are selling some rolls for $1 a metre! Now I will be surfing the online tutorials to teach myself how to make something out of them!

I love those bowls! and that fabric is a great bargain. I went into arthur toyes today and they are having a huge sale too- heaps of cotton prints for $6 a metre
Loving those bowls, and that book is really excellent. We sold our copy when we moved to OZ, now i wish I had it again, would be worth a re read.
Thanks for stopping by my blog. I will keep popping back here now i have seen your great blog. xxx
I LOVE the brooch. I have two flower brooches and I’m so into flower embellishments. Do you read Just Something I Made? Have you seen her leather kanzashi flowers? There’s a book I’m dying to get from the library, Kanzashi in Bloom (which she used to make hers), but there’s only one copy and I always miss it. Anyway, I love your flower brooch!
