fabulous friday finds

i haven't done a fabulous friday finds post in a while, so i thought i'd show you all a few great bargains i found today. i really love finding great deals. it's kind of like a treasure hunt and you just never know what you're going to find.

i know a lot of people don't care for jcpenney,
but i have always been able to find amazing deals on cute things there.
everything is usually on sale and they send out coupons like crazy.
anyway...i went there for something else completely and ended up with the following three great deals:

really, who doesn't need a big rose red bracelet?
i plan to wear this with a black & white dress and a red flower headband.
with the two coupons they let me use on my three items,
this bracelet ended up to be $4.84!

this was something i found as i was about to leave.
the color is much prettier in real life and it's so soft.
this season i am all about flowers and ruffles.
total for this was $9.09.

they are having an amazing shoe clearance too.
my sister has these and they are just too cute. i couldn't believe i found them in my size.
total cost--$7.27! yippee!

after i picked up mck from school, we headed to office depot to get her a binder for orchestra and a locker shelf. office depot has a reward program and i got my reward in the mail the other day ($10.81)
total for these items--$5.73.

then we stopped by michaels to find a flower for me to make a headband out of and they were having a 90% off sale on summer stuff.
i found this cute birdhouse for $1.99
and the coffee cup planter for $1.49!

i found these the other day at plato's closet, a resale shop here, and they were $6.
i am also all about cute flats with cardigans this fall!
(mckinlee said they looked like an old lady, but i don't think so. if you do, please don't tell me!)

well, it was a good thing i "saved" so much money today
because in 3-5 days i will be the proud owner of this....

!!!

i am so not a gadget person.
i don't have an ipod, we don't have a gaming system of any kind, at the moment we don't even have a working tv in the living room!
but my sorry phone (lg vue--don't ever get one) completely froze on me. didn't even last 2 years.
i am not picky about phones. i just want one that makes calls, texts and works.
but after a lot of research, reading reviews and talking with a friend of ours who works for at&t, we finally decided to go with the iphone.
and now, the more i read about it, the more excited i am getting!

i'll let you know if all the hype is really true...
