Thrifting...It's A 'Hit Or Miss' and A Party

Today I'm joining in the party over @ Rhoda's blog. Hop on over there to see more thrifty treasures! http://southernhospitality-rhoda.blogspot.com/ Thanks, Rhoda, for being such a lovely hostess! :-)



Found these little tins for 40 cents each at Salvation Army (or Salvo, as the kids all call it :)...
This plate is DEFINITELY a chalkboard paint project! Don't ya think ribbon will look adorable threaded through those holes?
Candleholder I found at Goodwill.

I was SO happy to score this Hallmark card organizer box @ Salvo! Brand-new, never opened - as you can probably see :)

I also found these fabric remnants and tablecloth @ Salvo. 25 cents each for the remnants. Tablecloth was only a couple bucks. I'm planning to use them for a few patio projects.

Thanks for looking and be sure to visit Rhoda's to see more treasures!

Happy Monday!

    You did great at Salvo! I never find anything there, and it's overpriced too. Yes, I think that plate is crying out to be chalkboarded, and beribonned!

    I saw that exact same (unopened!) card organizer at a yard sale this weekend. You weren't thrifting in Southern California by any chance? ;o)

    Wonderful finds! I don't usually go to Salvation Army as it's not near me but it is much cheaper than my Goodwill.
