Thrift Store Love

I love thrift stores! It has been forever since I've visited my local Goodwill. I went today looking to find a chair, wooden bench or hutch to paint. Milk Glass was on my mind as well. I want to find a hutch and paint it bright blue and fill it with milk glass.

What I came home with for 5 dollars~
a tiny lotus bowl for 1.00, now I have 2 of these.
milk glass bowl for 1.00, I love!
and a tall porcelain jug for 3.00

Think I will put my cooking utensils in here.

Flowers, candy, fruit! All looks pretty in milk glass.

Have you been thrifting lately? Tell me about it!

Picture Gallery

This wall is in our living room. We finally filled all the frames we had grouped together! The huge frame was empty for months. I found that frame at Goodwill for 5.00! The sticker from Michael's on the back was still there for 35.00. I lovee good deals. The glass was missing and that's why it was empty for so long.

My nice husband went to Lowe's and got glass cut to fit the frame. So happy it's done! Almost all of these frames were spray painted Heirloom White to have a cohesive look. We still have space left on the sides to add a few more. I'm saving a special spot for a picture of our little boy on the way.

I did a blog a while back about the watercolor paintings here.

Younghouselove has a simple tutorial on how to hang your frames. You should check them out!

Resale Shop Goodies

(Flapdoodles outfit, 3.75)

(Gymboree sweater, 1.75)

(Gymboree set, 3.25)

I popped into a kid's resale shop today. One that was new to me. I liked it. It was very clean and organized. There was also a play area set up with little people toys and a climbing thing with a slide. So, Violet was occupied while I looked around. I spent 10.00 on 2 outfits, zip up sweater and pajama set!

Hope I'm not grossing anyone out with putting my child in used clothing :) I think it's perfectly fine as long as the clothes are clean, no visible stains and smells good. Then I don't have to worry as much if she gets a ketchup stain on her clothes and that makes me happy. I'm going back to get clothes in the next size up for next winter.
