Target Finds (On the Cheap!)

The Mister and I put our registries together on Saturday, and while we were in Target (scanning seemingly half the store with that little gun), I literally did a happy dance when I saw they had globe string lights back in stock for the summer.

Not sure what I'm talking about?

Here, take a looksie:



There's is a 25' green string (with 25 lights) for $12.99. Your choice of clear glass or pearl glass, and two different sizes of bulbs, depending on whatever look you like best. This particular set allows you to string 2 strings together, so you can string up to 50'. Prior to finding this, the best deal I found was $26 for a 25' string (though I'm guessing that one was a little better quality, because you could string up to 3 sets together.)

No hesitation from me. I bought 10 on the spot. Boo-yah. They don't have them listed online (for whatever reason) but if you go back to the home/garden section where they have all the new patio furniture, you'll see a shelf FULL of patio lights, and you'll see them there.

Then, THEN, while I was back in there today tweaking a few registry items? I found something very similar to this, for $1 a piece in the bargain section at the front of the store.



I immediately got a cart, and bought out the store. And then proceeded to the next nearest Target and bought out THAT store. They also have them in fuscia glass and green glass. Hello cheap ceremony decor! We'll be hanging them in the trees, like this:



As if that wasn't enough, in the same $1 bargain section? Found my flower girl basket. Just picture a small galvanized bucket with 7 large daisy-like flowers stamped/engraved around the entire bucket. (Our flower girl is 3, so a little bucket is perfect for her size and it. is. SO. CUTE!) I'd show you a picture of it, but again, it's not on their website, and frankly, I'm too lazy to snap a picture and show you guys. Sorry. But, it's kinda like these, and the plan is to do something like shown below to doctor it up:





Oh, how I love you $1 cheap finds. :)
