DMC 926

 cost quite a bit more than the 53 cents it should have.  That's all I planned to purchase.  And that's not what happened.  My new store's layout is opposite of others I have been in, sewing department is far left, not far right.  Far right takes you to Christmas and holidays.  Row after row, aisle after aisle, and when you do eventually arrive in the sewing department, there is more there.  

I am so thrilled that we have a Hobby Lobby that replaced Michael's that replaced Pat Catan's.  Catan's, as I've said numerous times, stood alone as the best craft store.  Michael's was not comfortable to shop or browse, I do not like their store layouts at all.  Assuming they are all the same, have you shopped at Michael's and do you like the aisle configuration?

So here's my 50% off bargains....

A little tree ($2.50) can be put anywhere that you want a bit of Christmas but have no room for decoration.

Little tree's teen brother that is two foot, ($7.50), and is the same as the parents three foot that I bought a few weeks ago.

A six foot garland of bells that have a very nice tone ($10.99) and will probably purchase another before they are gone. They have a red jingle bell garland on jute for less than that.

The tree topper ($1.50) is hard to find here since most are fancy or sparkled and I bought several at that price.

The six pack of stars ($3.50) match and I love them! 

A pack of 48 snowflakes with silver ties that sparkle ($4.50) and 10 sparkle stars with hangers ($1.75).  Both ornaments came in smaller and larger sizes, they are for sis who likes sparkle but I may get a pack for myself.   HL has small two & three foot trees with a white glitter (not flocking) feathery cedar looking branches, and I may get that for Carole.  Beautiful I'm sure with nothing but these snowflakes and stars.

Oh!  And I got this.
