Another Day, Another Tchotchke for the Console Table

As I've told you before, I've been on the hunt for reasonably-priced, child-friendly decor for the console table I got for a steal from Pottery Barn a few months back. It's not like I go out of my way to find these kinds of things, since that strategy rarely works for me. To those that it does work for, I am immensely jealous and demand to know your secrets.

One day not so long ago, I decided to take a whirl around the clearance rack at Target (aka "Tarjay" for us fancy folks) for kicks and grins. I was pleasantly surprised to see this cute little number sitting there looking pretty. Checked the price tag, and it was originally $20....marked down to $5.

Ohhhhhhhh yeah. Come to mama.

Here's how the entire kit 'n kiboodle looks so far. Not to shabby, eh? I'm thinking one or two more decorative items should do the trick for the time being.

Anyone else find any steals/deals from Tarjay (or anywhere else) lately? Have any strategies on how to actually find what I'm looking for when I want/need it?
