be happy for this moment.

One of the best parts about an upcoming change in seasons is the great "on its way out" stuff on sale. Last winter I was able to pick up several clothing items for a fraction of their original price. Sure, they had to be packed away but they'll be new to me in a few weeks when they come out.

I've been scoping out the clearance racks and random shelves to see if there was any great summer items that were marked down to a great deal. In the past I've found cute summer clothing, home accessories, linens and patio items. Last week, I scored two great items on deep clearance at Target:

Beautiful watering can (been on the hunt for a non-plastic one under $15) marked down from $29 to $11.99.

Sandals (similar to the white ones I loved all summer) were $3.95, down from $15.

I'm looking forward to enjoying these next summer, and even pulling out my great Winter stuff I snagged last Spring. Do you find any great clearance summer items?
