You would be amazed the things you can find at your local dollar store. Some are worth it, some are definitely not. I check back every so often for new items and  share all my finds with my friends.  Lately I am into the "dinnerware" items and will show you guys which ones and why! 1. Wine Tumbler: Not much has to be explained why this is an awesome find, except that it will go fast so hurry!  Pros-glass is sturdy and strong, clear for customization Cons-lid is a bit on the cheap side 2. Clear Plastic Tumblers: I bought these for a birthday party as they are great for guests (both children and adults) and they will obviously go with any theme. But oddly enough I'm using them a lot more  in our every day life. I keep some on our bar cart as they are highly practically for throwing snacks and crafts in.  Pros-multi-purpose, 10 for $1, kid safe, reusable Cons-add them to America's plastic waste 3. Plastic Leopard Placemats: They carry...

I am crazy over lucite! Btw, acrylic glass is same thing as "lucite" when searching for items.  Every time I see clear lucite I buy it convincing myself it can be used for something. I really wanted one of those designer lucite frames but not only are they expensive but deciding on a pattern that is not interchangeable does not serve me well. Take these two (of many) for instance. 6" square for $35 (that site gets in the $100s for a plastic tray) And 12"x12" on SALE for $27 If you LOVED it you may buy, but of course I would wait until I find a way to make one myself. I was in Michaels for an entirely different purpose when I saw a row of lucite and thought they were trays. I found out it was a frame that fell down! Plus the 5x7 was only $4! It is an automatic tray. They have different sizes all cheaper than the designers of course. I wanted to share links but cannot find on Michaels.com. It is actually a joke that I am considering...
