Great Thrift Store Finds

I had to run an errand this morning,
so took the opportunity to make a quick stop
at our local thrift store.

I came away with some great thrifty finds!

A set of 4 plates from Macy's - $ 4.49



Don't they have just the cutest design on them?




5 Kensington Ironstone bowls - .49 each



This cute little candle holder - .99 cents



A Paris Clock - $ 3.99




8 display doors - .49 cents each

I have great plans for some of these doors including decorative items for our home or gifts.

The remaining doors my craftsman/woodworker
husband will use on cabinets he'll be building.



This cute little frame was $1.99

I've got great plans for this frame that
I'll be sharing with you soon. So come back and see it's transformation!

(This frame was brand new, but had a very sticky -
sticker mark on the top. I used a little Goo Gone and the goo
was gone in a matter of seconds!)

When I arrived at the thrift store they were putting out a ton of brand new items(with store tags still on the items). I had to resist buying some of them, but took home a bag with 2 pairs of shorts, Capri pants and sweater for spring for myself. A new shirt for my husband and American Eagle blue jeans for my son.

The total savings on these new items alone was $74.38!!!

  4. You have some super cute finds! You have such a great eye. There is nothing quite like thrifting, it has to be one of my favorite things to do. Can't wait to see what you do with the cabinet doors.

  6. Thanks for commenting on my blog. You are such a sweet little blogger! I did do my tile all by myself. It was really quite easy, you could totally do your own floor.
    thanks again!
