I went to TJ Maxx one day last week on my lunch break not intending to buy anything. I just like to stop by discount stores to see what they have and they must have just gotten a large shipment in because I saw lots of cute things! Well $25 later, I left with this:
Yes, that's a white porcelain acorn, which is the inspiration for my fall mantle. Also a set of 5 skeleton keys and 2 mesh wire basket/buckets.

These nested baskets were only $9.99 for both! |

Not sure what I'll use them for yet, but they are a great size! |

Skeleton keys were $4.99 |
Not too shabby, huh? I think I'm going to take the keys off the ring but the ring is metal so I'll have to get out some tools. When I saw the white acorn I knew it would be the perfect starting point for my fall mantle. And as for the baskets, they will find a home very soon! :)
Oh, I almost forgot. Here is the basket I got last week at Mule Day made from recycled newspapers. It was marked down from $39 to $11 and it's perfect to hold our coasters and remote controls on the coffee table. Who doesn't love Eco-friendly storage solutions?!
Has anyone else found any good deals lately at discount stores?
