Why isn't 'Thrifted' in the dictionary yet?

Wednesday, September 21, 2011

I'm always thrifting, picking up little odds and ends for our house.  Here's a few things I picked up recently.
Rattan Planters: I love a good natural material, these are both planters and rattan-two of my favorites things.  Since these baskets are plastic lined (for watering your plants) I had to scoop up this threesome for .35 cents!  I might even use one as a small trash can, endless possibilities.
Teal & Gold Table Cloth: Not sure if this is actually a table cloth, I have a feeling it might be some sort of Indian garb- it's just so beautiful.  I'm going to use it as a table cloth since the colors are really striking and it makes for something different. $1
Grey & Yellow Pillow Sham: This sham is homemade, not a particularly great homemade job, but I couldn't pass up this print.  It holds two pillows and has a great pleating detail down the middle.  I'm working on incorporating more modern things into our house, so it came home with me.  .50 cents
Cocktail Shaker: You're always seeing cocktail shakers for outrageous prices ($6, at a thrift store, who are they kidding?).  So seeing this perfectly intact, stainless steel one for 50% off, was genius! .35 cents (Just the cocktail shaker was a boring picture, so Fritz wanted to model, but she couldn't stay still.)
Brass Mirror: Seems like I can't come home without something brass these days!  I loved the little curved shape, and the small scale.  It seems to have come off a jewelry box or something, but it can still be hung.   $2  (Now you see me, Now you don't!)
Looks like I'm in a little door way or something, ha.
Circle Pillow: I've been searching for a circle pillow for a while now, this pin-tucked metallic number seemed great on 50% off day.  $1


Have you gotten any good scores lately?

Why isn't that word in the dictionary? I am always on the search for new stores. Love the mirror.
