went thrifting 4 weeks ago and never posted my finds...
and they were good ones.
Well,
still are.
group #1 of thrifty goodness came from the Junior League's annual sale-
(no, I didn't purchase this beauty but couldn't resist taking a photo)
even going on the 2nd day of the sale, I found a ton of loot to take home.
Not just stuff I liked cause it was cheap, but actual stuff I will use-
Nester really has me thinking about not just buying stuff because it was a 'good deal', but because I actually have a use for it. I've bought far too many things in the past because I thought they were just 'too good to pass up'.
(gah)
12 books
1 basket with liner
1 fab pair of shoes
2 decorative thing-a-ma-bobs
20 buckaroos
the Martha Stewart decorating book was a buck fifty.
total score-
such gorgeous inspiration inside
vintage wedding dresses.
need I say more?
these all ranged in price from .50-2.00
I love the show Castle- anyone else with me on this?
Couldn't pass up buying Heat Wave for .50
those decorative thing-a-ma-bobs were a buck a piece,
and the shoes?
They're Guess and were 2 bucks.
and this was an "I have to buy this because it's too funny not to"
check out the hilarity inside:
see what I mean?
it was 50 cents, folks.
50 cents
after leaving the Junior League sale, I headed straight to Almost Antiques in Circlewood. Here's what came home with me-
1 fabulous candle lantern
1 funky retro orange vase
1 giraffe (which will soon be white)
1 green/white ceramic dish
9 bucks
love this lantern-
I've seen this in catalogs and online for anywhere from 25-80 buckaroos.
Mine was $2
yep yep
and that green dish called to me since St. Patty's day is a-coming.
group #3 comes from the hob lob.
love it when I see those 80% off signs
I picked up another (much larger) thing-a-ma-bob which I'm planning to paint and a large frame that was 7 bucks (which I'm planning to turn into an inspiration board to hang above my desk)
the thing-a-ma-bob began its life valued at 30 bucks, but I picked it up for 6.
It's going to play a role in making everything on my mantel light, bright, and white
and last, but certainly not least, I picked up this floor lamp at Target for 12 bucks. I needed more light at my desk and this fits the bill perfectly. Of course, it doesn't sit on the desk, but next to it. Now all I need to do is work on a gallery wall above my desk and I can stick a fork in that project (and mark it off my 31 by 31 list)
have you found any thrifty goodness lately?
