Mega Monday Moneysavers

I clearly have a problem. I need to stop buying jewelery.In fact I have been really good. After my $20 estate sale haul, I havent bought any(I think). Now you are thinking how is this a monday moneysaver? The jewelery armoire you see the pretty jewelry in…hmm FREE.

A friend called and said, “I dont know how you feel about this but but, there is this absolutely gorgeous armoire that my neighbour who moved ,left out at the trash area. I dont know have that many jewelry but I thought of you when I saw it. Do you want to come and get it?”

By the time she ended her sentence, I already had my car keys with me.Brought her to the new house and she sits in my bathroom. I NK shined her with lemon oil, I used my Dyson to vacuum the shelves and its looks perfect. I might if ever I get time, sand her down and spray her white. If I get time(HA!)

This is the picture she emailed me. Notice its on sidewalk not in actual trash area.

Its late and I have another thing I want to write about but I will wait till tomorrow morning. I am taking moderation off as well. Hate that thing.

    OMG OMG OMG I love it. I have been looking for a jewelery case forever now. I saw one in target but it was $20 and would have held only 1/2 my jewelry collection, so i went to a crafts strore and got mself a couple of tackle boxes. They hold my jewelry and all that but it is not glamorous and as pretty as I want it to be….this one is just puuuurfect….can I be mighty jealous of you?

    Me: yes you can be jealous. I bought some organizer things from Daiso, its a dollar(though some things are more $$) Japanese store and used them. I have only filled about 1/2 of this. The bottom drawers are all empty wink wink

    You are so lucky to get it, wish I could something like that. By the way do you know where can I get good deals for buying a dyson. I am dying to have one… do you like it?

    Me: I love mine! Love it. I have a pink DC07 model and I found it on clearance at Target 2 years ago. It was $250 or something. Pure luck. I dont really know where you can find one for that price now. Good luck and happy hunting.

    Dude, did you grab that sewing box that was in the picture behind it too? And why in the world would you spray it white?

    Me: It will look cool in white? Nope it was gone by the time I got there.

    All around great score, though. It’s gorgeous.

    I need one of those little bangle trees in the last picture. Where did you get it?

    Me: Goodwill.. If you do get one, make sure you get the one with the little arms securely fastened in the hole, I remember I had a cheapy one before and it kept falling apart. And the chai post..will take picture today and mail it to you.
