I am not a fan of the ‘haul’ blogs that seem to be so popular but … today I just had to share. I went to Salvation Army this morning. Here is a picture of what $3.20 buys there.
The picture frame will most likely be my Thrifted Treasure for On Purpose Networking tomorrow. I would like to have something a little more thrilling but the thrifting gods were a little cranky this week. The frame is one of those seen at major department stores priced at $15-$20 but you can almost always find on sale at about 50% off. It looks like new and cost $0.25.
I am most excited about the ‘architectural pieces’. They have a groove in the top and are probably meant to hold plates. I think I am going place them under a very modern shelf in my entry to look like brackets. Paint and metal leaf will be involved. $1 each.
The welcome plaque – it just called my name. I predict paint in its future also, no clue what color. It has a lot of detail and is weathered on one side. A good spring door decor?
The candle, just because it is in good shape and I can always use candles. This may be a glitter experiment.
Happy Thrifting. Keep your eyes open for your own treasures.
