Treasure Hunting: Birthday Parties, Pancakes & More! 2014

Christmas (or not) Cards  .10

Little Man will be having his first birthday this winter, and I have decided upon a hunting/ camo theme for his party.  (Daddy is a big outdoors-man)  When I saw these cards I snatched them up.  They are intended to be used as Christmas cards with a reindeer on the front and Christmas scene inside.  But I am going to glue them shut, cut out the deer image from the front and use them as part of the party invitations.  I also like how cut-out can be used as a stencil....we shall see what I come up with....;)

This is one of my most favorite treasure hunting tips:  

Never look at an item just for what it is, but also for what it could be :)

Another gold frame for my 'stash' $1.50

You know how I talk about collecting gold frames and glass jars for my decorating purposes?  Well let me tell you just how helpful that is.  Last weekend Husby decided the garage needed a total cleaning.  He even went as far as to create a new space for all my holiday stuff so that I can more easily reach everything. (Back off ladies, he's mine! Hahaha!)  So I was working away happy as can be arranging all of my totes when I heard a loud crash...Nooooooo!  Yep, a whole stack of my Christmas bins fell over!  I was pretty concerned, but after going through everything it turned out that all I lost was one 8X10 frame and one glass jar.  No problem!  I just went inside where I retrieved a spare frame and extra jar and the day was saved. Yay!!!!

Miniature Cake Tins .10

All of these little cake tins were in a bag for only .10!  Large, medium or small, I love cake pans.  I have a whole collection in my bakers rack cabinet and couldn't wait to bring these home.  They are also useful for certain people who enjoy shaping their sand and play-doh ;)

Pancake Molds .50

I have been wanting to try shaping my pancakes for some time now. (See, I have meaningful hopes and dreams like everyone else...snicker...)  So when I came across this set of three pancake molds for only .50 I had to take them with me.  We always do a nice brunch on Sunday mornings and I thought these would be a lot of fun.

I added blueberries and they turned out pretty nicely.  Yummy too!

 Glass Trifle Bowl  $1

Because ya know, I needed another!  :)

We finally got a new freezer for the garage and inside the packaging was this.  What is this?  Is this a miniature ice cube tray?!  I looked through the entire booklet that was enclosed and found no mention of this piece, so I'm going with miniature ice cube tray.  I can now make miniature ice cubes.  This pleases me to no end.  Ahhhh, the simple things in life!  :D



That's a grand total of $3.20.  Not bad at all, and of course I had fun finding everything.

Hope you enjoyed the post, thanks for stopping by!
