Thrift StoreThursday
Holly is hosting "Thrift Store Thursday" so go check out her blog to see what other treasures have been found! I'm finally getting around to sharing my fun treasures from the thrift store. I thought this bunny wreath was pretty cute, don't you?(Especially for a cheap price!) Isn't this little topiary adorable? I added the spring-y ribbon. The bunny says "Happy Easter". How can ya beat paying 39 cents for this sweet lil bunny figurine? 5 little custard cups for 69 cents. I'm thinking about them all lined up with a candle in each one. How cute would that be?! Gotta think outside the box here. How 'bout this 3 pc. canister set for about $5? I've been looking for something like these for a while now. Brand-new picture frames, originally from Target. The markdown Target price was $3.74 for the 4x6 size; $3.24 for the 3x3 size. I paid $1.69 for each one at Goodwill. Gonna paint these guys for sure, as I don't like gray too much. Got this pedestal for 49 cents. I'll probably give it a spray paint makeover but haven't decided what color or where I'll put it. Just couldn't pass it up at that price! This plate was definitely my most favorite find of all! Yes, that's cheap curling type ribbon on it right now - ewwww! But I could immediately see the potential and was very thrilled to find it. Great price too, huh?! I'll be sure to share the 'after' soon.
OH WOW!!!! I love your new treasures! That milkglass plate is soooo pretty!!! I'm glad you got to do some treasure hunting! I really need to, it has been way to long!
Great finds, and what great prices! They would've been more at my Goodwill. I'd love for you to link this post up with my Thrift Store Thursday tomorrow!
Great finds. I am really jealous of the custard cups! I have been looking for something like them for awhile -- I guess you got them! Haha.... best wishes... Cass
From now on, I am going to grab the good times with both arms. I am going to walk outside and feel the sun on my face and learn to laugh, really laugh again. Most of all, I'm going to take the love that comes my way and hold on to it for dear life. Sometimes we don't need new scenery, just new eyes. ~Dawn Miller

"Measuring A Life"
My deeds will be measured not by my youthful appearance... but by the concern lines on my forehead...
The laugh lines around my mouth...
and the chins from seeing what can be done
for those smaller than me or who have fallen.

I was diagnosed with Stage 2 breast cancer in July 2008. Since that time I've had a double mastectomy, reconstruction, chemo, radiation and several other surgeries. Fast forward a year...it's now July 2009 and I'm all done with treatment. My hair has grown back, I'm feeling great! GOD is good and life is good! I've gotten loads of support from family and friends. I'm living a "NEW NORMAL" these days and just very thankful to be here!!! Always keep a positive attitude and don't pass up an opportunity to show love and kindness to others. Don't live your life with regrets and enjoy each day!

Hello there ~ welcome to my blog! My name is Michelle. I've been married to a great guy for 20 years and we've been very blessed with 3 cool kids - a boy & 2 girls. My family means everything to me and I try to make our home a wonderful place to be. I LOVE to decorate and work on "trash to treasure" projects ~ that's what I can be found doing most of the time (um, sometimes other than what I'm SUPPOSED to be doing...like laundry, for instance! LOL) I think laughter is a vital part of life so I always try to choose to look at the humorous side of things...if life throws lemons your way, why not make lemonade, right?!
Ooooo Michelle ~ you got some good stuff there! Doesn't it feel so good when you find things so cheap? It sure beats store prices!
ReplyDeleteCan't wait to see the after pics!
Hugz,
Michele
