Orange Day

Clever title huh? I am the worst at coming up with a title name. I hope to get better in time, like fine wine, or something like that. Today was orange tag day at Savers and I went in planning to only get something with orange tags so it would only be 99 cents. I did not quite accomplish my mission, such is life. Here's what I got.

When I went last week I got the Christmas tree candle holders and when I got home I wished I had gotten the Snowmen too. I was so happy when I saw them there today. They were only 99 cents, with a green tag I might add. The black candle stand/holder was priced at $3.99 but it had a orange tag so only 99 cents for me. Yay. I am not going to paint it, for now. I will find something to put on top. It is actually pretty tall.

She was priced at 4.99 with a orange tag so I grabbed her up to. I will eventually paint her but I am not sure what color yet and/or where I will put her. She is also a tall lady. Why do I keep calling "it" her?

Bowls, gotta love em. I got all of these for $3 at WallyWorld. They were in the 4Th of July clearance section. They are pretty good plastic bowls too. Good find for me.

Now I really like this one! Anyone know what kinda jar it is? It comes off in 3 different sections. Was priced at $1.99 with a green tag so I paid full price but I really like it. I think it will be cute to put different colored M&M's in it around the different holidays.

Well that is all for now. Til' next time....

Dear Spray Paint

Dear Spray Paint,

I love you. I truly do. Thank you for being there for me when my brain decides to get creative. In the beginning we weren't the best of friends but over time we have become very close. We basically see each other every day. Am I bugging you? I hope I am not. I promise to always store you in the perfect temperature room and to keep your pipes from getting clogged. I hope our relationship with continue to grow and grow. I promise to add more color into your life. Right now I am just going through a black & white phase, but this too shall pass. I bought you some more friends today. I hope you all get along. Have a great day & if there is anything more I can do to better your life please let me know. Thanks for being loyal.

Your friend,
Brittany

P.S. Did I mention how I love you so? I did, that's okay, you can never have too much love. Welcome to the family my dear Spray Paint, welcome.

Just a few thrifty things

I have not had a ton of time to go thrift shopping lately but these are some thrifty things I have got that, to me, are too good to not post about.

I LOVE these! They were given to me by Josh's mom. She did not want them anymore. I was more then happy to take them off her hands! They are in perfect condition and look brand new. She gave me the candles on top too. They are sitting in the bay window in the kitchen. They are pretty tall too so it gives the are some more height.

She also gave me a TON of towels. What am I supposed to do with all of these? there are a lot of hand towels and about 6 regular sized bath towels & a few washcloths. You can never have too many towels I guess, maybe you can and that is why she gave them to us? Oh well, I was very thankful to get them and I can use them as rags for around the house or whatever.

This cost me $10. My favorite color is pink and it's not a bad purse. I don't really like the silver design thing on the front but I can get over that. I love purses & already have too many as it is, is there really such a thing as a girl having too many purses, but I had to have it. It is one of those designer inspired purses & it still has the tag on it. It's a fun little find to me! I know I did not have much to post about this week bu I might have more to post about tomorrow. I am going thrift shopping and hope to find lots of goodies! Til' next time....

A few makeovers

Go check out Metamorphosis Monday hosted by Susan at Between Naps On The Porch

Over the past couple of days I have been working on a few projects. I got a bunch of new spray paint. So I am pretty stocked for any future projects. All of the following projects were done with a 97 cents can of semi-gloss black spray paint from Wal-Mart. I still have a lot left in the can too so they came out to be pretty cheap projects, which makes me very happy! You can see the projects from before here.


I never posted an original picture of this but it was just a plain unfinished wood. I like it. Not sure if I will keep it here but for now it works. If you see that my oven is on it is because I have been baking cookies. My bf is a cookie pig so I made him a bunch, none for me, all for him.

I really like how this one turned out. I wish there were more of them!

These little mirrors came out pretty good (sorry that the mirror is dirty). I plan on making them into frames and putting a black & white picture of Josh and I in them. I have another project in mind for the mirrors.

Here is one of the wooden bowls I got. I decided to turn one of them into a candy dish. We always have a little dish of some kind of candy out and I figured it would go perfect with all the other colors in the kitchen. ( you can see the bag of white chocolate chips from me baking the cookies, I seem to always take pictures on the kitchen counter & I have no idea why.)

So there ya have it, a few of my little makeovers. There will be more to come. Til' next time...
