Thrifty Treasures

Today I’m linking up with Rhoda at Southern Hospitality for Thrifty Treasures Monday! This is my first time linking up so let’s hear a BIG whopppeeeee!!! I included the items I purchased last Friday and a few things that were bought awhile back. I’ve enjoyed looking at everyone else’s finds as well. You guys find some great stuff!

I bought the silver vase for $2.00 at a yard sale. I see it all the time in little shops for MUCH more.

Flor de lis was purchase at Goodwill. Not sure how much. It was black but I spray painted it red and use it as a book end next to my photo albums.

Picture from Hobby Lobby $3.60, shelf from Ross $6.00. I’m going to spray paint the shelf black and put the two in my kitchen.

This teeny tiny crack saved me a lot of money. I bought this trunk at Marshalls for $18.00. I think that’s a great price. It was higher but since it was the last one left and it was messed up I asked them if they would take anything off. Did you know most stores will did that? It never hurts to ask!

I bought 3 of these plates at Hobby Lobby. They were higher than I would normally pay for a plate but they match my stuff perfectly. They were $6.00 each after being discounted %50. I’m going to hang them on the wall in my kitchen.

Ok on the thrift store finds


This was new in the box waiting just for me, still in the Styrofoam casing and everything $3.00!

Platters for a later project, $1.00 each

I was sooo excited about this one. Kent heard about it the whole day then had to hear me tell everyone about it the next day. I collect nutcrackers and was thrilled to find this antique nutcracker in great condition for $5.00 at an estate sale.

Will be getting rid of the print and doing something fun with the frame. It’s a great frame very heavy and unique. I didn’t really capture it well in the pictures. I think it was around $1.00.

Thanks for stopping by!!
