Thrifty Finds

Well, I don't have a project for you today.  Actually the one I was going to post FAILED big time!  You know when you have a great idea and get to work on it.  Then it turns out totally different than you imagined.  Or one of your family members makes a comment on it and totally ruins it for you?  Okay, so you do feel my pain :)

Anyway, rather than starting on something else yesterday I decided to go thrifting with my sister-in-law and her girls.  It was a lot of fun... and I got some great deals.  Here are some of my finds:





Do you love the 70's wallpaper in the back ground?

 


I found this great big metal star for only $1.50!  A couple of old looking pots for $1 each..... this cute red frame for only 50 cents, a little wooden toy box for my sons room (it was $3 but I couldn't resist).... Then these scrolly metal things for $2 each.  Not sure what I'll do with them yet, but I know I'll find a place for them!

Then I SCORED these super heavy metal candlesticks.  They were a little pricey in my book at $4 each.  But they have some killer potential.

This lamp is pretty cute, but I have plans to revamp it into something different.  It was only $5.

I think I found some great stuff... and didn't pay a lot (I think I got out of there for under $25).... and now I'll have some super cool projects to show you.  HOPEFULLY!  Since I failed my last one I'll have to redeem myself.  Stay tuned!... and have a great weekend!
