I was supposed to go out of town today to visit my sister, but just couldn't face the idea of being around lots of people today, so we decided to stay home and just hang out.
I haven't really gone to my favorite thrift much lately, but I have gone a couple times over the past month or so and bought things that I haven't shared yet, so sit back and enjoy.
I have a soft spot for these old plastic guilt frames. I like to paint them white and make them look shabby chic. I had dreams of covering a whole wall in blank, white frames, with some layered inside others. I have been collecting them for a long time and have still never done anything with them other than add each new one to the box with the old ones. I guess I should really get busy and do something with them.
I loved the basket. I see so many vintage bloggers with vintage cemetery baskets and have been looking for one for a long time. Since I can't find one, I bought this and I figure it's close. It will look cute as part of my Easter decor.
I bought these USA plates about a year ago to go in my family room. I haven't done anything with them because I haven't been able to find a plate rack that I liked, that I was willing to pay for. These were $1 each so now I can finally hang up my USA plates, and another set of cherry plates in my kitchen. It is VERY hard to find vertical plate racks with three spaces, trust me!
A cabin themed sign for PF and K's room.
A life preserver clock for PK's room that is done in a nautical theme.
A vintage tin canister, a glass candy jar with adorable aqua lid, and a cute rose plate.
I suspect at one time this was a coffee mug holder, straight from the 70's, but my plan is to paint it either shabby white, or aqua and use it to display my fragile antique Christmas ornaments that I inherited from my Great Grandmother. The blue balls are to be displayed in milk glass pedestal bowls.
A tin bucket from TJ Maxx, the original owner paid $12.99, I paid $1.00. I am going to use it to hold magazines. I also picked up these little star garland picks. Not really sure what I am going to do with them yet. Maybe use them on the patriotic themed Christmas tree we put up in the family room.
I buy a lot of books at this store, they have their $.50 books 3/$1.00. I almost always let the boys pick out books when we are there. They also have B's Sci Fi books at 3/$1.00.
But my books are $1.00...what's up with that???
I also picked up some great things for my classroom. The Reader Rabbit set (Front) is missing two books, but I can live with that. The Care Bear Phonics set is cute and fun and I think the little girls especially will really like it. Tickets for rewards, and a Word Yahtzee game that can come in handy.
Well, that's it for today, hope you have all been having a great summer, I am so sad to see fall nearly here. I'm just not ready for it to get cold.
