here’s my most recent before and after project. it started off with a coffee table in awful shape, but with nice lines. yikes! lots of work needed here. i got the foam from a garage sale and cut it to the size of the table. i pained the entire table a bright golden yellow to [...]

how can it be friday already? yikes! i meant to get this posted on monday but my week got away from me. here are a few of my recent thrifted outfits. happy friday! peacock blue dress :: goodwill :: $5.00(ish) large beaded necklace :: fringe benefits (thrift store) :: $1.75 long beaded necklace :: fringe [...]

back by popular demand (ok, so one person asked!). i’m bringing back my weekly wardrobe post. however, going forward i’ll be focusing on my thrifted outfits. in order to qualify for being featured, my outfit must be at least 50% thrifted. i’ll try to include details of where i purchased everything and how much i [...]

i found this little owl bank a few weeks back. with a price tag of only a quarter, i snatched him right up and brought him home. he was quite dingy, but one cycle through the dishwasher and he was bright and shiny….just like new. one of the things i love the most, which i [...]

a found this little child’s folding chair a couple weeks ago at a garage sale. i have a thing for chairs. (much to my hubby’s dismay) i was instantly drawn to it, but with a price tag of $15 i quickly walked away. WAY above my garage sale price expectations. i went through the rest [...]

now that it’s garage sale season again i’m hoping to be able to share my thrifty finds on a more regular basis again. here’s an adorable little tool box i picked up last friday for only 50 cents! not sure what i’m going to use it for yet, but i’m sure i’ll find something!

this past weekend we got out for our first real thrifting trip of the spring. it seems that every church in town was holding a sale. these are usually our favorites because they typically have the oldest stuff, which is what i like. one of my favorite finds of the day was this amazing, amazing [...]

we had a partially thrifted christmas again this year. unfortunately it wasn’t completely thrifted like last year (because i was just too darned busy to get to as many sales as i needed) but i did find a few good things over the summer. here’s one of my favorite puzzles i got for the baby. [...]

at my most recent trip to the thrift store i found some amazing fabric remnants. i try to steer clear of the fabric section because i just have so much of it that hasn’t been used yet, but i couldn’t pass these up. the top floral is a polyester type fabric which i’m in love [...]

i haven’t had the time to thrift much lately. (which i’m hoping to change soon!) because of this, i haven’t had much to share. i realized however that i never featured this little beauty. i found this over the summer at a yard sale and paid about $2 for it. it’s an original print signed [...]
