Bryne net:  $9.99


Diners pink bowls x 2:  $2 each

All @ IKEA.

I rarely come here since it's so out of the way, but I needed a canopy for my bed.  I ordered one from China, but it doesn't look like it'll come.


I had the pink bowl before, but it broke.  I've wanted to replace it for a while, but didn't get a chance until now.

Hometrends pug duvet cover set:  $10 (RSP:  $30)


Mainstays reversible elephant duvet cover set:  $10 (RSP:  $20)


Salton stainless steel hand blender set:  $29 (RSP:  $60

All @ Wal mart

I needed the hand blender, so I bought the other two to get free shipping.  The prints are so cute on them!

JYSK - Janette duvet cover:  $12.99 (RSP:  $19.99)

I've wanted this for a while, but the comforter I have now is nicer than this.  It was the perfect opportunity to use it as a sofa cover though!


My ugly sofa looks better than before, but I still want to get a nice sofa in the future.  Still, it's an upgrade for now.

Mainstays bed sheets - Wordplay and chevron:  $7 each (RSP:  $16 each)


Air wick life scents flameless candle in lavender:  $2 (RSP:  $10)

All @ Wal mart

I had a coupon code, so I decided to get these.  I really only wanted the word play sheets.  I'm totally kicking myself for not getting the super hero phrase sheet set, which is the one I wanted the most!

They were sold out online but I thought I could find them locally..and I couldn't.

I actually had an opportunity to buy them a while back, but I was carrying too much so I thought I'd pick it up later.  Lesson learned!

Anti-pill Microfleece sheet set:  $10 @ Walmart (RSP:  $20)

I don't like the colour that much, but these were so warm!  They were the only ones left so I picked them up.

Funko - Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles Tin-Tastic activity set:  $3
Royal Heritage - Weiner dog pillow cases:  $2

Both @ Dollarama

I didn't really expect to find more of these, but I'm happy I did!  They only had this type here, whereas that first one only had the Jake ones.  I really hope the other stores get more in!


I'm going nuts with the pillow cases, but I just couldn't resist this print.  Pastel colour weiner dogs?  There were no second thoughts.

Pillowcases:  $2 each
BHG - Frosted  white botanical pillar holder:  $3 (RSP:  $7.87)

All @ Dollarama

I actually got the heart pillow cases from another Dollarama, but I did buy these all on the same day.  I was unsure about getting it because it seemed pretty childish, but I love hearts, so why not.

I was shocked when I found the other ones!  They had so many nice prints, it was hard to limit myself to just these ones.

They looked really sophisticated, the same kind of patterns you'd see in a higher end store!  I wonder why they suddenly started to do that.  Up until recently, I had only noticed solid colours.  It's hard not to go overboard buying them!

I was unsure about the candle holder.  I don't have any candle holders that big...plus, I prefer vintage decor!  I do love birds though, so I decided I might as well get them.


Turns out they were sold at walmart.com for $7.87!  That's around $10 Canadian, so this was a deal.

Royal Heritage - Bird pillow cases:  $2 @ Dollarama

I've never been tempted by the pillow cases here before...normally they're a solid colour, or an ugly pattern.  This is the first time I've seen one with a drawing on it!

I love birds, and I thought this looked quite nice.  I felt the material, and it was ok...definitely usable, and comparable with the cheaper stuff at a place like walmart.

Well, turns out the print is as nice as I thought...but the pillowcases themselves were not!  I was expecting a matching set with a nice placement, but these images were in completely random places! I was hoping it would be dead center and facing the right way, but it's sideways and to the right.

The second one's even worse!  There's only part of an image 1/3 of the way from the bottom...the rest is literally completely blank!  It's not even the full scene either!

I guess that's why they're here.  I'm a little disappointed, but the one with the lopsided image is still ok.  These would probably be at least $5 - $10 somewhere else, and the images might not be aligned either (ok, probably would have been for $10).

Powder blue sheet set:  $9 @ Liquidation World (RSP:  $24.97-$49.99)
Floral sheet set:  $8 @ Liquidation World (RSP:  $29.88+)
Seasons Collection - Egyptian cotton sheet set:  $18.88 @ Liquidation World (RSP:  $37.77-$54.99)
Blue polka dot cup:  $.34 @ Liquidation World (RSP:  $.69-$2)
Silver plated bear/star/moon frame:  $.98 @ Liquidation World (RSP:  $1.97-$3.97)

Since my mom went nuts buying $30 sheets today, I supposed that swayed me a bit.  They're not as cheap as I would have liked (considering how much I paid last time) but I haven't seen better pricing elsewhere.  Also felt like having more variety in that area.

I don't like buying twin sets because most of them only come with one pillow sham...I use two and hate when they don't match.  I'd rather deal with a slightly oversized fitted sheet than the former, and I could always just sew that to fit.

I really didn't want to pay that much for sheets, but I thought it would be worth it for egyptian cotton.  I'm sure they're not that great quality, but I don't want to risk being ripped off online.  I do wonder what exceptional quality egyptian cotton feels like though.

They had some twin sets, but it was the same sham deal I touched on above-more than that, I wasn't too crazy about the design.

These ones had a gorgeous embossed brocade design so that clinched it.  It was a little big stained in some places, but the other ones had been really handled-one had to be taped together so I left that one behind (even though I didn't see any stains).

I considered buying the other one until I noticed all of the hair inside-that was a total turn off!  I'm sure it had been repacked and on the floor, so the slightly stained yet neatly packed one won out.  I hope egyptian cotton lives up to the hype.

Refinee House - 7 piece comforter set:  $7.50 @ Liquidation World (RSP:  $100)

This was a crazy deal!  Even cheaper than the sheet sets I bought previously.  

I really don't think I would have missed this.  I'm sure it wasn't on the shelves the last time I went...although this time, I didn't see it right away either.  

The last ticketed price was $15, but they were having a half off sale on all of their clearanced bedding.

I have a twin size bed, and this is a queen size set..but somehow, it really worked out.

I love how it looks, and the price is just unfathomable-$7.50 for a comforter, bed skirt, 4 pillow shams (2 standard, 2 smaller), and one pillow! 

I've been looking for a comforter set for a long time now, but all of the ones I've seen have been some combination of ugly and expensive.  How ironic that the nicest one I've seen ended up being the cheapest as well.   

It scanned in as having 'assorted colours', so I'm really wondering what else they came in.  My preferred choice would have been pink, but blue would have been my second.

Hopefully they still have some at the other locations!  I'd probably pick up one in every colour at that price.

Flannel sheet set:  $4.89 @ Liquidation World (RSP:  $20+)
Striped 400TC sheet set:  $10 @ Liquidation World (RSP:  $60)
Striped/floral 300TC sheet set:  $7.50 @ Liquidation World (RSP:  $30+)
Silver/clear eyelet belt:  $1 @ Liquidation World
Swarvoski flower ring:  $1.12
Black rose bead:  $.23
Black flower bead:  $.21
Faux pearl bracelet:  $1.04

Finally!  I've been waiting the whole year to pick up new bed sheets.  I'm really glad I didn't purchase any of these sets before now..I was really considering the striped one for the longest time, but I thought I could find a better price elsewhere.  

The belt rang up as American Eagle, but I don't see any markings on it.  I thought it had a cool futuristic look to it, but I'm sure it can work for practical outfits too.  I'm just such a sucker for wide belts.

The jewelry's from Ebay-the bracelet broke the first day it arrived!  A shame, it was actually prettier than I expected.
