More Thrifty Finds

I’m late posting this but as some of you may know we’ve had family in town so it been a little busy. Better late than never, right?

I stopped into a thrift store on my way home last week and thought I hit the jack pot! Everything in the store was 50% off. That’s right you read right. Already cheap prices slashed in half. When I heard the announcement I knew I needed to hunt for some good finds even if they needed a little love aka spray paint! Sad thing is that I got so excited when I heard 50% off that I missed the part that excluded green tag items. Needless to say everything I bought was a green tag item. They tricked me because they wrote the price on the item with a white wax pen. Either way I still found some great finds and wanted to share.

Be sure to check out Rhoda’s page to see more treasures from the weekend !


I love this print. It was a thrift store find and now lives, as is in our bathroom. I paid $3.99


This cute little lamp cost me $4.99. It was in great shape, just needed a little spot cleaning on the lamp shade. I put it on the counter in our guest bathroom.
I love the shape of this tray. I splurged a little on this one ($4.99 or was it $5.99). It was a thrift store find as well. Not too sure what I’m going to do to this one yet but know that I need to think of something good.


This was a G.W. find and my 1st chalk board/tray make over. I placed it our guest room to welcome our 4th of July out-of-towners.

I was soooo excited to see this ottoman at Target marked down to $24.99 from $60.00. I’ve been eyeing this bad boy for some time and knew it was time for it to come home with me. I’ve even caught Kent using it!

Trunk was a Marshall’s find $18.00. I blogged about it awhile ago but thought I would share where I decided to put it….right next to our fireplace. I stored throws inside, like we need them right now, but when we do were set!

Thanks for stopping by!

  2. Hi Kendra,
    Thanks for sharing your latest fun finds! Pity about green tags being excluded -- don't you hate it when stores "get you" with the fine print?

    Glad you stopped by and commented on my lamp post. I agree -- the old shade is interesting (I guess that's why I haven't been able to bring myself to toss it).

    Hope your day goes well.

  8. With all the thrifting I do, I've only been able to get the 50% off once! Usually what I want is the right color ticket! Great finds - I especially like the urn picture.

    I don't know if ferns would do well outside in Texas but I imagine inside they would do just fine.
