Happy Monday!
Hey ya'll! I'm rushing around today trying to get ready to leave for Texas - whohoo! We are headed to a little West Tx town (po-dunct-ville) to visit hubby's great-grandparents. Nana can cook, and...boy, is it gonna be good! This will probably be my only post this week - hope everyone enjoys their day of thanks!
I had a jam-packed weekend complete with a visit from my aunt and cousin. We headed over to Arkansas for the Dayspring Warehouse Sale and had an absolute blast!! They hold this sale once a year, right before Thanksgiving. If you have never been, it is definitely worth the trip. Dayspring makes all the pretty paper goods and gift items you see in Christian bookstores like Mardels and LifeWay..even Walmart. I got tons of goodies - gorgeous gift bags for 50 cents, note cards 10 for a buck, pretty wrapping paper, day planners, etc. Most of my Christmas shopping is done now - yay!
Full of tons of great stuff!
Next, we headed over to the infamous OOPS store...which is more like a warehouse. It's huge! If you have followed Shannon's blog, then you know about this store. She's gotten lots of cute things there. I think Kelly at Kelly's Korner also mentions it a time or two. This is a fun place, ya'll!

Aisles and aisles of Christmas decor

Loved these Christmas trees - they are tall and made out of wood - so pretty..almost took them home!
Bought these mercury glass birdies - all for less than $15. The big one broke on the trip back...but, I fixed it!
Don't you love this pretty rabbit? I did too, for $13.50! He's also a nice, large size.
Have a wonderful Thanksgiving friends....take care and enjoy your precious families! We all have soo much to be thankful for! :)

Wow! Looks like you found some great stuff. I'd be so ADD in a place like that. LOL
Have a safe trip to TX. I think the weather's supposed to be pretty good up there.
I used to live very near Dayspring and remember going to that sale! How fun! Great Christmas stuff too.
OH...how do I get your MOPS "thing" on my blog? I am in Field Leadership with MOPS!
when and where does this sale occur!? I WILL be there next year!
You got some great things! I love those mercury birds. I need to go to the Dayspring sale next year! I didn't know about it!
Fun, Fun! I wish I could go to the OOPS store! THanks for sharing.
