So like I said before, on Saturday, I went to a bunch of garage sales, well when I was done in the afternoon, I decided to stop by ShareStuff, its a thrift store, run by volunteers, started by our church, in the same building, i think i've explained this before lol anyways, I found a really cool shabby chic pillow, and then remembered that the big stuff part on the other end of the building that has furniture, and all the bigger stuff was open...that part is only open on saturdays because of remodeling and even last saturday it was closed, so I hadn't been in a very long while...well anyways, I was browsing, the only one even in the store, I thought it was closing, looked at my cell phone, nope, still had another 2 hours or so lol..anyways...I found this brown box, and opened it up, and realized it is a BEAUTIFUL outside porch light, house light, whatever...and its brand new, put together, but still in the box, and i found the tag and it said $3!!! YIPEE...now if i could only find another one, since we have 2 front porch lights, one on either side of the door...Tom and I had been making a list of things to spruce up our house on the outside, since we are putting most of the money into the inside w/the new bathroom and stuff, we wont be painting the house this year, or whatever, so we had decided that new lights would be on the list, and had looked at them at all the home stores, and decided on some cheap $20/each, lights...were nice, but didn't have to fork over our entire life savings to light the porch lol...cuz they had ones that are soo pretty, and would look fantastic on our porch, but HELLO, $$$$$ LOL anyways...back to my story at the sharestuff store...so I look around and not only do I find ONE more...I found THREE more!!! SWEET!! and the other 3 were not even put together still in the plastic and everything...all were still $3/each...so walked out of there with 4 outside lights, for $12...NOW the cool part...so I put them all together when I got home to make sure all the parts were there and stuff, they were, nothing broken, etc...so then yesterday, we were at Lowes, and found similar ones like the ones I got, for $40, and then another one that looked similar for $140...but last night I looked up online and found the exact one at home depot, and they are nearly $100/EACH!! so I paid $12 for $400 worth of lighting...very exciting!! lol, there were other cool deals too, but that was the best one...here is the link of the light...at home depot, but its the same ones...
