Autumn candles

Elephant ring holder

Pumpkin lights

Halloween pot holer

$1.25 each @ Dollar tree

Just felt like picking up cute seasonal items.

Pop art wall plaques:  $4.99 each @ Talize

Can't find a comparable price for these, but they're made out of wood!  Felt like a deal.  I really like the graphics.  I plan to make it into a table.

Simon Designs crystal candlestick:  $3 (RSP:  $16.99)
Agate tea light holders:  $7 each (RSP:  $49.99 each)

All @ Winners.

I actually got the first candle holder at Marshalls.  That one was almost twice the size as the first one and looks so much better!

I actually saw some agate paper weights that were only $17...they were almost the same size, so it was surprising there was such a difference in price for just a hole and metallic covering.

Wonder woman etched light:  $9 (RSP:  $20+)
Buddha head tealight holder:  $3.99 (RSP:  $6+)
Ceramic unicorn sachet:  $7.99 (RSP:  $12+)

All @ Winners.

I wanted that Wonder Woman light when it was $20, so I'm glad I was able to get it for this price!

The other ones are regular price but reasonable.  Well not so much the unicorn, but I couldn't resist.

Light up mirror\
Insoles
Light up unicorn

$4 each @ Dollarama.

I actually saw that same mirror at Bianca Amor's for $9!  $4 was a great price for it.  I picked up another one at another location because it was so good.

Unfortunately the lights don't stay on for long.  I would have preferred if there was a way to make it constant.

Modella/Con air toiletry bag set in "animal baroque":  $4 (RSP:  $16.97)
Embossed rose glass bowl:  $1.25
Unicorn string lights:  $4
Fur throw:  $4
Swan pillow cases:  $2.50
Rosette fur throw cushion:  $4

All @ Dollarama.

I haven't been here in a while.  There was so much good stuff!

I knew about the light box and came for that.  I knew about the unicorn lights and didn't think I wanted them, but they were so cute in person.

The throw was so thick!  I was surprised.  It was almost twice as thick as the others so I had to get it.

They had several fur throws.  I've never seen them that cheap anywhere!  They're usually at least $25...the cheapest one I could find was $15 at Walmart, and it looks the same as mine.

Now I want to check out the other Dollaramas!  I saw a brown one that was nice, but I'd like to find another thick one.

The cushion was nice too!  I haven't seen any that good here before.   It has a rosette fur pattern so I couldn't resist, but I would have preferred another colour.

I've seen similar quality pillows at winners for $16.99 so this was a deal!  I'd love to find a pink one.

Love coming here!  Besides the mugs, the colander, and the silicone brush, I've never seen any of these before.

Sylvania light bulbs
Bird notebooks
Mini hedgehog bank

$1.25 each @ Dollar Tree

I've been looking for more of those banks, but I only ever see one or two at each location.  I found this once before (only one there) and it was in better condition, so I kind of wish I got that one instead! 

I was waiting to find a cache so I could pick one out, but it doesn't look like it'll happen.  I want to find the elephant and the duck next!  I haven't seen them yet...I saw the crowned pig today and wasn't interested.

GC Fragrance - meditating dog ceramic sachet:  $7.99 each @ Homesense (RSP:  $14)

I couldn't resist!  I wish they were cheaper...I remember they used to be a dollar less when I first started noticing them around (not this style).

I'm not that crazy about the pearl glazing for this one, I'd much rather have it be chrome like the other one!  I'll probably leave that in box until I check out more locations.

They also had a light up buddha snowglobe for $16.99.  I thought that was expensive, but I saw it for $48 online!!  I'm kind of interested in it, but it's still a bit more than I want to pay.

20 Battery powered LED's:  $2
Glue gun:  $3.50
LED Orb:  $3
Decorative wall art:  $2

All @ Dollarama

I just wanted that globe to make a lampshade.  My glue gun died recently so I needed one of those too.  The rest were impulse buys!

Elephant candle stand:  $4
Buddha candle stands:  $3 each

Cat mug w/lid
"Smile party" cutlery set
"Smile party" salad box
Cat travel pillow

$2 each @ Daiso

They had some other buddha figures for $4, but I didn't think they were that nice.  Plus they had no function.  At least these ones hold candles!  They were made in the same style, the faces don't look that great.

Glittery pegasus mirrored box:  $7.99 (RSP:  $12+)

I just couldn't resist.  It was regular price, but it seemed reasonable enough.  I've seen some this size go for $12.99 so I don't know how they decide it.

Buddha head candle:  $5.99 (RSP: $10+)

Ceramic elephant sachet:  $7.99 (RSP:  $12.99+)

Both @ Winners

I was so psyched when I saw that buddha head!  They're usually around $12.99 for that size.  Even the small heads I've seen before were $6.99, so I snatched this up right away!

I thought the elephant was interesting, but I might end up returning it.

Salt lamp:  $14

Tsum Tsum lip smackers - Thumper and Dale:  $2 each (RSP:  $5.99 each)

All @ Bianca Amors

I loved my first lamp so much, I wanted one for another room!  I thought I'd get a bigger size, but they didn't look very nice.  Instead of getting taller, they mostly got wider!  

I didn't like the look, plus they were a lot more.  The boxes for the next size up were all taped too, so I couldn't see how they looked in full.  No way I was buying one sight unseen!

Next to my first one (on the right):

The new one is at least a pound or two lighter than my old one, but it has more colour to it.

The base is different too!  It's bigger and more noticeable, whereas the other one was pretty much hidden at the bottom.

This one's better because the light attaches to the base.  With my first one, you just stuck the bulb in the hole...it wasn't secured in any way!

I was thinking about these tsum tsum lip glosses last time, but I didn't want to buy too many.  Well, the other ones were so adorable I wanted these ones too.

They had a ton last time, but this time I really had to dig to find these characters!  Thumper at least, there were still a lot of Dales.

I remember there being at least 10+ last time, and this time I only saw 3.  I only saw one Eeyore too!  Last time there were maybe 6. I'm glad I picked them up when I did!

I saw one box that had a $4.95 Rite Aid sticker on it.  Those stores are only in the US!  I'm surprised because I thought they mainly just had stuff from China instead of closeouts.  

Buddha figures:  $1.25 each @ Dollar Tree

Finally!  I've been looking for a buddha figure for a while, but they're all super overpriced for some reason.  The cheapest one I've seen has been $6 for a head, and $8 for a full body figure like this one.

I thought they were supposed to be candle holders, but the holes are too small.  I'm not sure why they made them like that.  It's too impractical to hold anything else!   I'm using them as holders anyway:

I wonder if this is a new item and the other stores will have them soon. This is the first and only time I've seen them anywhere.

Funnily enough, I saw almost the exact same figure at Winners for $10!  Less than an hour before I found these.  The grey one...the figure was the same size and had a similar look too, but it was sitting on a circular base that was probably 6" across.

I thought it was nice, but I didn't want to pay that much.  I'm glad it worked out!

Medium salt lamp:  $14 @ Bianca Amors (RSP:  $30+)

I've wanted a salt lamp for a long time!  They've been advertising them here for the last few years...every time I've come they've been sold out.  

Today they weren't!  I was surprised.  They had a ton of every size.  They all came in boxes like this:

It took me so long to pick one!  They're all different, and I didn't want to buy one sight unseen, so I looked into a bunch of boxes.  I found out later that they don't want you to do that, but they had no signs in this area.

It's so beautiful lit up!  I wonder if I should get one for another room.  I was deciding between this one and a small one, but for two dollars more, this one was a better deal.

The sizes here are bigger than most other stores.  When I was checking around, some other stores have their "large" as this one's "small"!   They're all mostly way more expensive too.  Usually starting at around $20 for the small one!

Before that the cheapest I've seen is a small one for $15 at Winners on clearance.  I was actually waiting to see if that one would go down, but now I'm glad someone else bought it.

I actually thought I might want a large or extra large, but this one was heavy enough!  Each size has a 2-4 pound variance.  I weighed mine at home, and it was exactly 12 pounds!  The medium was 8-12 pounds, whereas the large started at 14.

After the difficulty of looking at the mediums I didn't want to bother with any of the bigger sizes!  I really wish they had them without packaging like all of the other stores.  It would have been so much more convenient!

Meditating frog statue:  $10 @ Buck or two

I thought this was neat, but it seemed like way too much for a dollar store!  I looked it up online though, and it turns out it's a knock off of this pier 1 one:

The regular price was around $40 Canadian.  I just saw that one went for $100 US on ebay!  I think it's the same mold, but the material must be different.  I read that the original is 4-5 pounds and this one's way lighter.  I think it's just made out of ceramic, and it's only about a pound.

They also had a knockoff of this other one:

Same price, but I didn't like this one as much.  I hate doing this pose!  The other one only had two left, but they had five of these ones.

I haven't seen these statues at any other buck or two.  I'm thinking about buying the other one too....I'll see if it goes on sale.

Sugar - Wedge sandals:  $3 (RSP:  $39.99 - $65)
Yoki - Denim sandals:  $1 (!) (RSP:  $39.99+)
Kate spade - snap happy - spark dish:  $2 (RSP:  $24.99 - $35)

All @ Winners

This barely had anything left either, but still some gems.  I was surprised about that Kate Spade dish!  It's completely perfect.  I've never seen anything designer that cheap before!

Crystal globe lamp:  $3 (!) @ Winners (RSP: $ 34.99 - $39.99+)

The same one I got the mirrored dresser from.  I almost didn't buy it, but I'm glad I did.  The light bulb socket was loose so I thought it didn't work....I'm sure everyone else felt the same, which is why it went so low.

Surprisingly, it does work!  I really only bought it to steal the lamp shade and topper though.  I finally finished my old lamp and I'm so pleased:

I'll keep the other one too, but now it needs a lampshade!

BIA - Elephant sugar pot:  $5.56 @ Linen chest (RSP:  $6.95)

They were having a 20% off sale with free shipping, so I couldn't resist.  I loved the elephant teapot I got from them a while ago:

So I thought this would be a great complementary piece!  It is smaller, but I like how the pose is a bit different.  They also had a creamer, but I didn't think it looked that nice:

It was the same price.  Now I feel like I kind of want it, so we'll see if it's around the next time they have free shipping.
