Today’s Thrifty Treasures

I’m joining Rhoda over at Southern Hospitality again this week for another edition of Today’s Thrifty Treasures.  I hit an Estate Sale Friday afternoon, but came away empty handed.  Saturday morning I was up bright and early (9:00am is bright and early right?) when I saw a commercial for $2 tank tops at Old Navy…how’s that for thrifty??!! I headed on over and picked up the limit of 5, a couple for me and a few to embellish with ruffles!

After the Old Navy sale, I decided to hit a few garage sales, and here’s my loot for the day:

I got all of the above for $4.50 at 3 different sales!  The pair of small wooden picture frames was $.50. I’m planning on painting them black, distressing them and embellishing them somehow of course! The little strawberry pot was $2.  I’ve always wanted one of those!  And the coat rack was $2 as well.  I plan on painting it white, distressing it, and replacing the hooks with some pretty knobs and using it as a display piece for my personalized  antique tins.

I’ve got to say, this estate sale/garage sale hunting is getting addicting!!  I’ve really got to restrain myself sometimes from buying things just so I don’t accumulate more junk!  I try to make sure everything I buy will have a purpose and not just sit around unused taking up space.

Thanks again to Rhoda for hosting the Thrifty Party, I can’t wait to see everyone else’s treasures!

  2. Stawberry pot? Didn't know they were called that, but I love it. I agree that thrifting can be addicting. I am also trying to really buy only what I know will be put to good use right away.
