Super excited by this morning's Goodwill finds.  The last few times I've gone, I've come out empty-handed.  Not today!
Excuse the photos.  It's a dark, dreary, COLD day here yet again.  Anywho, how cute is the little lantern?  It was half price so it was 85 cents.  The beeswax candle is getting tossed; I just wanted the little crate.  The metal urn will be first up in the makeover department.
I love this little flower basket.  I'll be ditching the flowers though and keeping the basket.
This tall candlestick is definitely  getting a chalk paint makeover and probably a Frenchy touch or two.
My favorite piece is this hand mirror.  It's actually missing the mirror.
But that's fine by me!  I'm thinking of adding a Marie Antoinette image or Victorian lady with some bling.

Not a bad haul for $18 total!

Wanted to share some random garage sale/Goodwill/thrift store finds that I picked up this week.
I love this!  I'm not quite sure what it is.  The man at the garage sale said it used to go on the floor, on the bottom of the leg of an old radiator.  I thought it was something for a garden hose. 
Either way, I love it's rusty, chippy goodness!  I'm definitely keeping it as is.  Thinking of putting a candleholder in the middle.  It cost $2.
This little table was only $5.  I'm planning on giving it a ASCP makeover this weekend. 
It's been freezing here but it might be 70 on Sunday so I really want to take advantage of the warmth to paint.
I'm planning on doing nutcrackers up and down our stairs this year for Xmas.  Got the idea from Romantic Homes magazine.  The pirate one is from Goodwill.  The other is from a garage sale.  I only have three so I have to really get moving if I want to take over the stairs!
Last up is this wood tote.  Another Goodwill find.  Not sure if you can tell but it has snowflakes on it.  While I appreciate the snowflakes for Xmas, it's getting a Frenchy makeover.

Hoping to hit a few more sales this weekend.  On the hunt for those nutcrackers!

Today is my mom's birthday so I treated her to her local Goodwill this morning.  Of course, she picked out one thing while I, on the otherhand, went a little crazy:
The Target shelves will look great in my 7 year old's room.  I never pass up faux eggs and vase fillers (also from Target).  The little frames were a steal!  I will be adding those to my Etsy shop once I add the perfect French images.  I also couldn't pass up the cloche.
Don't you love the blue mason jar glasses?!  The little chairs were quite intriguing to me.  They are definitely first on the list for a makeover.  I don't love the red and black - although Mom did.  The wood crate is definitely getting painted too!  The craft paper says it's actually book cover paper.  Not sure what I'm going to do with that yet.

I'm pretty happy with my haul and Mom is happy with her crystal pitcher.

I popped into our local Goodwill this morning.  The last few times I was there, I left empty-handed.  Not today.  Lookie at my latest finds:
I've been searching for these very pyrex dishes at every garage sale I've been to this year.  The set of three was $5.99 - a steal!  I also picked up the little pumpkin candleholder, peat pots and pretty blue glass dishes.
Aren't they a gorgeous shade of blue?
Lastly, I picked up this pail duo.  I think I'm going to work on transforming it first.  While, I like the floral pattern, I think something Frenchy would better fit my style.

Overall, I spent $20 there this morning and I'm quite happy with my haul!
