Thrifty Finds

I’m not sure if Rhoda will be doing her weekly Thrifty Monday Party since she is on vacation, but I thought I would share my finds anyway.  I was only able to visit one Estate Sale back before Labor Day, and I found a couple good deals.

I thought the frame ($1) was a great size and shape to do something with, perhaps another jewelry display?

For $2.00, I couldn’t pass up the metal mirror.  It’s already a cool color, but I may change it.  Such a pretty scroll design. My mom ended up going back and picking up one other frame for me.  It needs some work (bye bye Mr. Fish!) but it’s got good bones:

I was browsing the clearance section at Michael’s last week and found this wooden “W” for $.99.   I thought it would look pretty painted black and gold-leafed sitting in our living room bookcase.

I’ll be working this week to get out my fall decor, and of course trying to learn how to use my new embroidery machine, so stay tuned for new posts!
