My home decorating style is a mix between traditional and eclectic. I don’t really go with what is trendy; I just like what I like. And of course, at the best possible price!

I have to tell you, I love One Kings Lane. Love it!

I also have to tell you that MUCH of what they offer is pricey….like, over the top pricey. However, I have found that if I check in from time to time and peruse their sales, I find nice surprises here and there. Things I wouldn’t find shopping around town and for  a decent price.

Here are a few of my favorite things (there are many) they have on sale now:

Birds! Love.

More birds.

Fun, functional serving pieces.

To shop at One Kings Lane, you need to be a member, so sign up HERE. Enjoy!

I’m a little late in the game, but I’ve decided I LOVE scarves. They’re my new passion, BUT I won’t spend alot on them. Frugal as always. That’s why I’m excited about Target’s Daily Deal for today.

Target is offering their line of Merona Solid Scarves for just $8 each {reg $14.99}. That’s a savings of 47% off plus you get free shipping since it’s a Target Daily Deal.

Choose from nine different colors.

I ordered the turquoise!

You all know how I love reusable bags for lunches and snacks. In fact, the only disposable bags I buy anymore are for the freezer.

Right now, Plum District is offering a $50 voucher for Beneterra.com for just $25. You can spend it on their selection of reusable lunch/snack bags, shopping bags and more.

Their lunch and snack bags are $9 so basically, you could get 6 bags of your choice for just $29 ($25 voucher plus $4) which works out to just $4.83 per bag.

They also have reusable produce bags for $12 each.

You will have to pay shipping but since the bags are so light, that shouldn’t be too much. Check out the shipping chart below.

Shipping Charges

United States:
$4.95 – up to 13oz
$7.50 – 13oz – 1lb
$8.50 – 1lb – 11/2lbs
$10.00 – 1 1/2lbs – 3 lbs

If you’re thinking about making the switch….this is a great deal to consider. It will save you money in the long run (and cut down on plastic going into our landfills).

The Hubs and I don’t do Valentine’s Day. Not really. I mean, we go on a date, but it’s really just another excuse to go on a date. And we really don’t go anywhere any nicer than we normally would on a normal date. And we don’t go all out on gifts. So yeah, we really don’t do Valentine’s Day.

Until now…

I saw this awesome idea for 14 Days of Valentines and I’ve decided to do it for the Hubs.

It’s a little corny, alot cheesy, and I think it will make my honey feel very special, although he won’t put it into so many words (for those of you who know my husband, you understand exactly what I mean – man of VERY few words, that one).

If you’re looking for something fun and frugal to do for your special someone (or even your children) check this out:

So basically, there are 14 Days of Valentines. Each day brings a small gift with a cheesy Valentine’s Day play on words attached to it.

The cool thing is that Ashley from Mommy by day Crafter by night has done all the work for you. She’s given you all the gift ideas, all the cheesy one liners and even has FREE printable tags for you to download!

All you’ll have to do is make a trip to the Dollar Store or perhaps Walmart to pick up a few supplies and you’re done. Easy peasy.

I’ve decided to use some of Ashley’s ideas, but I’ve also added in a few of my own, because let’s face it…the Hubs doesn’t do pop rocks.

And if you need help with more ideas, you can find some HERE and HERE .

Not bad for a 14-day long celebration.  Happy Valentine’s Day!
