Thrifty Finds....



It's been awhile since I have went to Goodwill or any Garage sales, so a few weeks ago we stopped in at Goodwill and of course I couldn't leave empty handed. I saved the best find for last so keep reading :) I found the above pillow for $1.99, it always makes me a little nervous buying pillows but I couldn't pass up the toile.


I found this big frame for .99 and have already started revamping it, Can't wait to show you!!


See, already working on it....


The porch post thingys were .49 each, and the books .99 for both. I couldn't pass up the finial things as I know I will come up with something for them.


Also got the little wooden frame for .99

This was 1.99, I loveeee these things!! There cute just sittin around and they are also great for hand soap or dish soap.


I had to get the big chunky candle holder for 2.99 as I have it's twin. The little mirrors were .49 each.




The bowl filler stuff was marked down to 2.99, this will be great for fall :)


Had to share these, I got 20 tubs of pampers wipes with coupons for .17 a tub!!! I love getting deals on these as we go through them like crazy.


My favorite find is this little table. Actually it's not my find, my sweet husband knows how I love my Goodwill junk and was in the area one day and stopped in and bought me this. It was $3!!! I love picturing him in Goodwill ( totally not his thing ) picking out some sad little piece for me to redo. It's great. He's great.


As you can see, she was in pretty bad shape.


Not anymore....This was actually a pretty eaasy makeover. I did it all while watching the Bears play their first preseason game, Sadly they lost. :(  I wanted pretty aqua color so I mixed some blue I had with some antique white paint until I got the color I wanted. These pictures are awful, I took them at night and it doesn't go so well up against my shiny red walls.


I used a little minwax stain after some sanding. I'm not so good at that technique but all in all I think it turned out great. One of my favorite makeovers.



I love it A Lot. I love this blue.


It's got a little opening on the side to store crap even.




So how did I do? How did hubby do with his find? You like?

You found some great things, but my comment is directed towards what a treasure your hubby is; how thoughtful of him to step out of his comfort zone to get this table for you.
It turned out great.

I am feeling the table love. Your hubby did a great job picking that out for you. Very thoughtful!

The Hubby did great and so did you. My husbanc will go to garage sales with me and if I plead and it's too hot to sit in the car, he will go in a thrift store with me. But go in Goodwill by himself--not going to happen.

What a cute little table. It looks like a telephone table esp with the little shelf on the side for the phone book maybe? My DH just doesn't get my need to thrift so you are very lucky.
