My thrifting finds...

I just had to share some of my new thrifting treasures that I have found over the last couple of weeks. I have been so good as far as spending money...I have only shopped at thrift shops and I only bought something that I knew that I had a place for or that I could re-do and sell in my booth. These things below are the things that I am going to keep for my cottage. I love this pretty frame. I'm going to paint it cottage white (of course). Isn't it pretty! Only $2.00 and it holds a 5x7 picture.

I found this little shabby candle holder at The Goodwill when I was in Southaven visiting my son a couple of weeks ago. They have 2 huge Goodwill's there! Some of their stuff was too expensive though for a thrift shop. I bought some lace panels and this candle holder. It was $2.oo. It has little glass beads on it. I don't even have to paint it! LOL

I bought this adorable frame at Marshall's in Jackson on the way to Southaven. It was only $1.00. It goes perfect with my shabby rose style. It holds a 3.5x5 picture. Click on it to make it larger. The brand is called 'Not So Shabby'. I love it.

I got this little cutie for .50 cents. It doesn't have a back to it but I can fix that! It is made of metal and reminds me of lace. I will have to repaint it because it is a little bit rusty in spots. I guess that you can tell that I love frames. I will show you the new area where I'm putting some of my family pictures, on a later post.

I love finding cute little light switch covers. I buy them whenever I see them to replace the old standard ones in my cottage. I think that little touches like this gives my cottage 'character'. (.50 cents)

I have been on the look out for one of these for a long time but I knew that it would have to come from a thrift shop because they are expensive at other stores. It is a sheet music holder. I will use it to hold a few of my piano books. It was $5.00. I just realized that you can see by bed frame in the background that I just painted. It was brass and I thought it would look more 'cottagy' painted Heirloom White. I will post about that soon too.

This is my 'sweet' find that I thought was a perfect one for me. I love the saying and I am learning daily to be happy with what I have. I love my little cottage even with it's endless to do list of repairs. Each time something gets done, I love it even more.

Thanks for stopping by and checking out my thrifty finds. I love sharing them with you.
