{major thrift haul madness}


Last week marked, possibly, my greatest thrifting victory of all time! My friend Georgia and I went to "the bins" at one of the areas largest thrift stores and scored big time! Wvery meticulously packed our cart and betwen the two of us, everything was $20! Not to mention, she paid for everything! This magnificent load of treasure cost me $0! Can't beat that!



Among my favorite items were...a huge roll of kraft paper, some cute wrapping paper, a beautiful green ceramic planter, really cool vintage looking tins, and wait for it....a HUGE roll of woodgrain contact paper! I literally gasped when I found it!


There were so many cute odds and ends! I got this realy neat yellow glass planter thing, which I love. Some cute old measuring spoons, a whole loads of picture frames which I have plans for, and another "hobnail-ish" candle stick holder...now I have 3.


I literally must have found almost everything that has been on my thrift list, in one trip. I got a few cute plates,  an amazing white platter, and a white colander to plant something in. 


But I think one of my favorite finds of the day was this vintage rose "paint-by-number-ish" picture and frame! Check back tomorrow to see what I did with it! It's pretty cool if you ask me!
