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.

Thrifty Thursday, On Wednesday night

I told Josh I was going to Savers to look around and I would be back home in just a little bit. Well, 2 hours later I got home. He just does not understand how sometimes ya gotta really dig for stuff. I would walk by things at least 2 times and not see something I saw before.


I got the wooden box/basket/whatever for $1. I am going to spray paint it brown and put some rolled up towels in it & put it in the master bath, I think, could change. I love the brown bowl. It is very plain and simple but I love it. It is made of wood and has no scratches or anything on it. Got it for $1. Josh gets me roses a lot so I just took some dried up ones and put them in it and I actually have a white candle that I put in the center of the bowl. I got that quite awhile ago, but it's still very thrifty!

The mugs were 50 cents each. I love them, very much actually. The ladybug candle was $1 and it smells yummy! to me it is a very summer time candle. I have it in my kitchen and it does not match one thing in there but it's still cute. The set of Christmas candles were free. Can't get much better then that.

The 2 pictures on the wall are kind of hard to see but they were only $1 each and they go with the theme of my kitchen. I am not really even sure what the theme in my kitchen is though, oh well! Actually they candles you can kind of see in the picture were all free. Josh's mom gave them to me. I like her lots! This picture is from right by the sink. There's lots more stuff there but I will show ya that later.

Thrifty Finds

So today I decided to go to Savers ( one of our local thrift shops) and look around to see if I could find any goodies for the house. Lemme tell ya, thrift stores are nuts. There is so much crap there but if you take the time to look you will most likely find some pretty good things. I just recently got into thrift shopping. I love it! You can get some pretty decent things for way cheap. On the other hand they have some of the weirdest stuff there. Today I saw a brown blob thing. I have no idea what it was, but I do know what it reminded me of, and it was priced at $5.99. I could go to my backyard and get several of them brown blob things for free. I can certainly see why it was in a thrift store...

I spent $20.12 and got quite a few things for the house. I took pictures of it all and went to hook the camera up to the computer & I realized I did not have the usb cable. A few weeks ago I sold a camera on Ebay, and yup you guessed it, sent the wrong cable. Yeah I was pretty happy about it, made my day actually. I just ended up taking some pictures with my cell phone. So here ya go, pictures of what I got today.

The plate stand? is going to be used for a project that I am working on, will post about it later. The little chair, well I have not one clue what I am going to do with it, but it was only $1.00 and it's really cute. I am going to spray paint the flower white and will either put a cute picture in the middle or just put some chalk spray paint on it, not sure yet.

The big basket is for all of our dog toys, bones etc. They have so many and I hate how they are just all over the house. I think I am going to paint this basket some kind of a brown color, possibly some green color. Our house is mostly earth tone colors. The smaller glass jar I plan on putting q-tips or something like that in it to go in the master bathroom. The larger glass jar is going to get a little rectangle section on it painted with spray paint chalk. I am not sure what I am putting in this one yet but I will figure it out sooner or later, probably later. The bag of wreaths I am not exactly sure what I am going to do with them yet. I will probably decorate each one for each major holiday and display it around the house at the right time, as opposed to the wrong time?

These shelves I plan on spray painting a dark brown and putting them on one of my walls that is a lighter brown color. They are in pretty good shape with no scratches or anything. I am happy with them and we have basically no shelves on any of our walls so it works.

All in all today was a pretty good day. Got a few things for the house and a few new projects to work on. Savers is having a "sale" on Saturday so I will probably go back then to see what I can find, if anything at all. Well that's all I gotta say for now...

P.S. Remember, Love always wins!
