Thrift Store Score!!!

 

Hey Guys! Lately, there hasn't been much going on around my way--no home projects, and no new DIY's. Nevertheless I've gone thrifting! That's always fun, at least in my book. Thrifting opens you up to treasures you may not come across at your usual shopping staples. Today, I'll share with you my latest super duper finds. So here goes:

Yes, I know I need a fill-in, but that's besides the point, lol. I absolutely fell in love with this picture frame. I adore the old, weathered look. I think it has so much charm. Price tag? $1.99 ;-)

Up next are these silver bowls. I purchased these for the shelves in my writing room. I have this shorter version and also another taller one. How much you say? $.80 for this guy and $1.00 for his taller friend!

Then I came across this guy. Not really sure what the intended purpose is, but I think it will ne great to fill with décor and other goodies (i.e potpourri, decorative balls, fruit, etc.)--especially around the holidays. I'm thinking of enhancing it just a bit by adding some gems. I think that would be pretty dangling around the bottom. Price tag? $2.00!

Then there was this wreath! I love, love, love it. As soon as I laid eyes on it, I knew that I had to take it home. It was just $6.00 and had a orange tag, so that meant that I would benefit from the half off sale and walk away with just spending three bucks. When I got up to the register the cashier informed me that there was an additional discount for "Christmas" items. I paid just $1.59 !!! Here's the thing, I don't think it is a Christmas item, it has apples on it--clearly country right? At least I thought so. I wasn't about to argue in favor of not getting a discount, so whatever.  If they thought it was Christmas then so be it. But when I got it home my husband said that he thought that it was a Christmas wreath too :-( What do you guys think? Here's a close up:

Apples, berries, ribbon with dainty little flowers--that's country right? Maybe it's the pines that's throws some people off. But of course, pines live in the summer too. Whatever the case, I washed it up and hung it on the door. I love the size and the fact that it is more oblong than round. I definitely lucked up with this!

And last but not least, this is the purchase that took the cake! Ready? Drum roll please...BOOM!

I have been longing for a storybook mirror since forever, and I can't believe that I actually got one! I'm not sure where I am putting this, or if I am even using it in this house, but I really want it to go in the bathroom. I think bathrooms with pedestal sinks and antique mirrors are soooo dope, but honestly this would look good anywhere. See that price, $8.18--I got it for half off of that!!!!

So there you have it, my latest thrift store finds. *Note: Purchases were from 3 different stores, so be sure to shop around! Until the next time guys, XO!
