KSL.com Classifieds! Tips and Treats!

I was e-mailing Mrs. V and Co. com about finding great deals on KSL.com. I gave her a few pointers shocked that she didn't know(All) the ropes!! Also my darling friend Callie asked for a few inside tips too! So here we are. Open another window to KSL.com then click on classifieds!

1. Search by zip code! If you aren't willing to drive all over the state see what your neighborhood has to offer. Check often!! The early bird gets the worm!

2. Search your sisters, moms, and best friends zip codes! They might be willing to pop over and get a scream'n deal for your in their zip code for a little treat as reward!

3. Search by key word! I often search: IKEA, Pottery Barn, Shabby Chic, ect. Hours and Hours of fun will be had by this way of looking for goods!

4. After choosing a section. I often click on (in the upper right hand corner) sort by..and then click on "lowest to highest". I want to by pass all the million dollar ads and get the to CHEAP stuff QUICK!

5. I love the FREE section tons! Sometimes people need the space more then they need the goods and they want it gone quick! If you see something in the free section be ready to MOVE FAST!! Call the minute you see it and be willing to jump in the car quick. Often on KSL items will not be held (for you) by the seller.

6. Always ask for a better deal!! Just like a yard sale...what is the worst that can happen when you offer less?

***** THIS JUST IN!!! When typing in your zip code (to look in your area) right next to it is a little box that says miles from. Add 5-or 10 and you get your whole area not just your zip code!! Love this!!

Hope you get loadsa treats and no tricks!!

CSN Review

I have had my down comforter for YEARS it is slowly dying! When my friends at CSN said they'd like me to do a review I jumped at the chance!! Fluffy white down comforter here I come! CSN has everything from flip flops to bar stools! What would you "review" if you could?

Some days are lemons!

While moving all the "junk" from one place into the "new" hutch I came across these (I have 2) darling lemon wreaths! I am out of room and they are For Sale. About 12" wide and darling and realistic as can be $2.00 plus shipping and handling! It's gunna be a long winter! Let these lovelies cheer ya up!

I read about painting your nails w/ acrylic craft paint here. I dare say I was a tiny bit skeptical..well the darling polka dots have been on my toe nails  for a few weeks and I for one love how fun and cheap it was!! Try it and report back!

Rummage Sale!

Look who followed me home from a rummage sale!

I love Spray paint!

and I LOVE old clocks

 Don't you wonder what little school children this clock watched over?

 I tried to reach outside my color realm and paint this baby something different! It was a brown resin banged up color. I'm not sure it will stay this greenie color but I'm sure it's staying!!

Just a dog!

My sister has a darling dog that she loves more then just like a child! She got Lulu's puppy prints from a fun company called "A Child's Touch Boutique". So silly and so cute!  Find them on FaceBook!

I believe!

I strongly believe that the drivers licence division should have a stylist on hand at all times! I went and "renewed" today and looked like "hell" in my tiny grainy photo!!

‎"Finish each day and be done with it. You have done what you could. Some blunders and absurdities have crept in; forget them as soon as you can. Tomorrow is a new day. You shall begin it serenely and with too high a spirit to be encumbered with your old nonsense."

Be Still!!

I love big chunky jewelry! I love to thrift! So when I found these raw wood bracelets at the thrift store for a quarter I HAD to get them!! Remember my metal stamps. They are hard to use in metal...but in wood...it's a breeze!! I've seen them used on paper gift tags too..soo CUTE and look here they are used in clay!!

Pottery Barn "Junk"!

Today I went to a few very over priced yard sales! Went to my friend Callie's new house...held her baby who cried her guts out. I felt the love! Then I went here:

Down East Home and Clothing Clearance Center
3505 West 3500 South
West Valley City,
UT 84120 (801) 968-1872
I love Pottery Barn stuff!! I love Pottery Barn stuff for cheap better!!

I'm not afraid of a monogram that isn't mine.

There were many to chose from!

I love a crazy sturdy polka dot bag for 5 BUCKS!

I loved this scalloped edge lamp!! SO darling over a little round kitchen table!

Later I held the sweetest tiny-est newest (2 days old) little baby who I wanted to steal...(her mom kept a close eye on her). To make up for lack of stolen baby...I did a little more shopping. I was SHOCKED to see they had a parking place RESERVED for me. It freaked me out a little but I parked there anyway!!

I am so pooped I could fall over! Good Night and Happy Fall!
