Thrifting Thursday...

Hey Y'all! Hope you are all having a great day today! I am feeling so much better today. I woke up this morning early and realized that I wasn't hurting anywhere! That is very unusual for me. My new medicine for my Fibromyalgia is really helping me. My doctor figured it out and it was the new heart medicine that must have caused the reaction. Well...today I am going to attempt to join in on a fellow blogger's "Thrift Store Thursdays" post. She is a very sweet lady and her blog is called 'The Southern Housewife'. I found her blog, by blog -surfing one day and I saved her to my favorites. I'm going to try and use 'Mr. Linky' for the first time to link back to her post. I hope that I can figure it out. I'm still learning all of these 'bloggy things'.

Yesterday was my day off from work this week and my son Cole and I spent the day together. We went thrifting! He actually had a good time. He helped me a lot by carrying my 'goodies' to the car for me. He also had to go back to one of the thrift stores for me to pick up an old vintage baby bed that I purchased. It is so pretty to me. I will post about it at a later date. Just look at these slip covers that I bought! The lady gave me a great deal on them. They are brand new, still in the packages. "Simply Shabby Chic". I love them. But you know what? I don't even use blue in my house! My tastes have started to change a little bit lately. I'm starting to like 'blue'. I honestly think that it is all Cindy's fault at "My Romantic Home". lol I love her beautiful home. These blue roses are just gorgeous to me.

Just look at this beauty! It is a pink queen size duvet cover with white battenburg lace. I figured that it would be too expensive for me...I looked at the tag and had to look at it twice! I couldn't believe that it was only $21.95. I grabbed it quick!

I just love it!

Can you believe this? I've never priced one before but I felt like I was getting a great bargain! Anyway, I'm happy with it...and it is PINK!

These are a few other little goodies that I found! I have been really needing this teacup holder and I really love the little tin planter. The metal votive holders are cute...I have a couple of them already, but one can never have too many candle holders.

I don't know what the large acrylic rose is for. I just thought that it was so pretty and I love roses! I am a Southern Rose, ya know. The little pot of roses is sweet and was just $1.00 and the bell was too. It has a rose on it and says "Love is always in bloom". You might have to click on these pictures to be able to really see them well.

I thought this was a great bargain too for $4.00! Of course I don't care for the silver. I will be painting it cottage white or ivory soon. I just love spray paint!

These were some of my favorite finds! The pink vase with the flowers was only $2.00 and if says 'Lefton' on the bottom. The little bunnies were $1.00 each and the teacup wall pocket was $3.00. I think it is a vintage piece just like the vase. The little planter was $1.00. I love the little girl holding her dolly. She is made out of clay. She was $3.00.

I bought the white cake plate and the fruit bowl where I work . They were in the clearance section for only $6.00 for the set.

This is my green and pink dining room. I know, I still have my pink Christmas tree up! I decorated it for Valentine's Day. I guess that I should probably put it up for now. At least, I should put up my pink Santa. LOL

The pink roses on my table are made of wood. I love them. My friend Stevie got them for me for Valentines day. Wasn't that sweet?

He also bought me the black hutch for Christmas year before last. I decided to use the bottom of my old dresser out of my bedroom to put under it. It was 'cherry' colored until I primed it with white primer. I am going to paint it 'Heirloom Lace' which is a pretty creamy ivory. I keep my table linens in the drawers. Stevie painted the ceiling for me after he put up bead board. It originally had ugly square commercial looking ceiling tiles. He painted it with a golden pearl color. I wanted it to look like a tin ceiling. He also put up the rose molding for me. I still have to paint the trim and the base boards.

The walls were dark wood paneling and I covered them with wallpaper that you can paint. It has an orange peel texture to it. I like it a lot better. I like to do a little bit everyday to my little cottage.

Thank y'all for looking at all of my pictures of all of the goodies that I found. I love to go thrifting!
