I was able to pop in to my favorite church thrift store this morning. Look at the goodies that I picked up for a mere $5. I never ever pass up a bag of buttons! I'm not sure what the ceramic piece is supposed to be but I love the French writing so I grabbed it. It has a plastic topper?! The cat head reminds me of vintage Halloween decorations. The pyrex piece is definitely...
In my ongoing quest to organize my craft room (so I can actually enter Where Bloggers Create next year), I upcycled these little metal baskets to hold some random crafty pieces. These were another AmVets find. I gave each a few coats of white spray paint. For the twine one, I just added a rusty clip (I did a post on how to give metal clips a nice rusty touch) and a hand-stamped tag...
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...

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...
I popped into Unique Thrift Stores again. I didn't have the boys with me so I was able to slowly go up and down each aisle and examine everything. I spent about $10 and got these goodies that I will hopefully be transforming this weekend - weather permitting: I love the little wood stand. They had two but the other one was a bit wobbly. Can't you just envision it in white chippy paint with a...
Have you heard of Unique Thrift Stores? They are like one giant indoor garage sale. I know they are scattered throughout the country. This morning we headed over to one in Levittown that I probably drove past a thousand times and never took note of. I was like a kid in a candy store there and the prices were pretty reasonable - $5 and under depending upon the item. The glass cloche with stand was...
