Some of my favorite Thrifty Treasures

It's Thrifty Treasure Time over at Southern Hospitality. Be sure to go there to check out what everyone else has found!!

Here are some of my favorite thrifty finds. Some are recent, some are not.


This one was $3, but it also came with another one like it. I turned the other one into a chalkboard because it was all messed up and did not look good. I have this hanging on a wall in between a bunch of pictures of family.


Sorry this picture is a little blurry. I got this for $1 and it sits on top of the counter in our downstairs bathroom. Now that I think about it I am not sure a bathroom is the right place for it. Hmmmm....


I actually got this fabric on Ebay. It was a little more then I would like to pay, $13, but it is vintage fabric in excellent condition. I am going to use it for something I am making at Christmas, which by the way I am way looking forward to!

Paid $2 for this. I like it because it is different and tall. I can never find the right place for it so right now it is sitting in the bay window in the kitchen. I am sure it will be moved again.

Paid $5 for this. Was brand new in box. It looks cute when it is on and the water is running. It has a little light on the top that shines down on the water. It looks really pretty at night. Right now it is on the counter in the kitchen.


I LOVE this!!!! It is probably one of my favorite things in the house. Not sure why, I just adore it though. AND I did not pay a dime for this so I love it even more!!! It doesn't get much more thrifty then that. Free + Me = Best Friends for Life!
Tomorrow I am going to Savers to see what they got and if I find any goodies I will post them.

P.S. Think of giving not as a duty, but a privilege

  1. Oh, I love that vintage fabric, and I don't think you paid too much, even on Ebay! It looks like there is alot of yardage there. I bet that fountain really is pretty, with the light shining into the water! And how in the world did you manage to get that trunk for free?!?
