Thrift Store Thursday!

It’s Thrift Store Thursday! I had a really good week at the Thrift Store this week!

I found this adorable tart burner! It is so darn caauute! It was like $2.99 and since it was an electronic it was 30% off :) I also got that pretty bowl next to it. I needed a pretty new salad bowl! I have been keeping an eye out and finally found this!

I got this nice CHEAP side table. My DH needed a larger one by his recliner. I was going to buy one like this at Target or something but was lucky to find this $3.99 one at Goodwill and furniture was 30% off. SCORE! You will see next week how I make it pretty :)

I also found these two little milk glass like plates and they have dots around the outside which is my new love! They were $0.99 a piece. This ADORABLE apothecary type jar I fell in love with! We all know apothecary jars are all the rage right now. This one has silver top and base! AND to top it off a little bird! Two of my FAVORITE things that I have everywhere! Don’t you love finding one great piece that brings together multiple things in your decorating!! Next to that is also some rub on letters that were $0.99

Not pictured:

2 fluffy throw pillows in the perfect color!! (Already washed and on the couch before they could get there pic taken! :) (They were also 30% off – I think they were $3.99?? each before the 30% off)

1 coleman lantern/flashlight

It was a really great week! Everything but flashlight was one trip to one store! I only went to one other store this week and all I got there was the flashlight!

So this shows you can get great stuff at Thrift Stores and not have to go everyday!!

I LOVE thrift store Thursday!!! I was REALLY bad about taking pictures this week though :( You see most of the time I go with a list of things in my head I am hunting for so it comes in the house and gets put where I had planned on it going.

Like this... I was looking for some sort of tray that could hold my dogs food and water to keep it from going all over the floor :) This was marked $6.99...but it was the colored tag that was 50% off so I got it for $3.50. Not bad... I love it!

Also found this bowl. I love this set and have other pieces. Slowly collecting as I find...I don't remember the cost but it was less than $1

This was the BEST find! I found 4 of these. They are Ikea frames that I was planning on buying from Ikea anyways for my bedroom. Even from Ikea I was going to paint them. I really hate going to Ikea! It's always a zoo. So I was thrilled...Cost? $14.99 each... saved...$20.00 total from the Ikea price :)

One trip I remembered to take pictures :)

Vase - $0.69
Cheese platter - $1.29... Originally marked $5.99 but was the colored tag on sale :)
Egg bowl - $0.99
Blue glass - $1.99


Not pictured:

An oval frame...I already painted it and it's in mid project. I had been looking EVERYWHERE for an oval frame! $9.99

2 white bowls. Pictured below as gift holders! :) $0.59 each

A cute pair of target(new) shorts for cousins baby - $2.00

An electric slicer - $0.99 (I bought this to use on my chair project below. The electric slicer cuts foam SOOO easily!)

A very successful thrifting week indeed :) What did you find this week? Head over to Homebody and Bloggeritaville and share with us!

Thrift Store Thursday

Holly over at Homebody hosts Thrift Store Thursdays. This is my first week participating but it is definitely right up my ally! So here is what I found this week.

On Tuesday I went to the Goodwill right down the road from my house. I had not been feeling well for a couple days and really felt getting out of the house would do me some good. Was glad I did!
Found:
1. A beautiful blue pot - $1.99
2. 5 - white un-used taper candles - $1.99 (I had been looking for some!! - I will show you why in a later post)
3. A bag of styrofoam eggs - $0.99 (used this for the button project below)
4. 2 - cream colored bowls - $0.99 each
5. A cream dish of some sorts - $0.59 (I used this to put our change in!)

Very successful day indeed :) You can see all the colors I use in my home in this picture I think :)





On Wednesday I was feeling better. I went with my cousin to run errands. Went by my favorite goodwill of all. No wonderful finds. I literally was pulling everything like the diaper bag and purses out of the cart thinking I must have gotten something else.. but there was nothing. Only two things on this trip - Only one pictured.

1. Magnetic "spice" holder - $3.99 (I think I will use this in my office for those little office things)
2. An elmo drum for my cousins daughter - $1.99 (Not pictured because it went right home with her :)
3. My cousin also bought a record (Actually two inside) - $0.99 (I am going to try to make into a frame for her...anyone know how to cut out the center???)
Hope everyone had a successful week of saving money at the thrift stores!
