More and more I find myself refusing to pay what department stores want for items I like. My first thought is, "I'll bet I can find something similar at an auction, yard sale, or thrift shop". So far, I have been lucky enough to find similar items.
This week, I found:
A mirror at a consignment shop $5.00
A pewter mirrored sconce $4.10
A wire stand at auction $2.00
The watering can I used in myBathroom Makeover $.99 at Goodwill
A pillow for my upcoming bedroom makeoverat a garage sale for $2.00
This corner shelving unit for $20at a consignment shop. It needs some
paint, but it is perfect for my sun room.
Not a bad week's work.
I will be linking to blog parties hosted by:

It is an addiction...I need a 12 step program! I love that little black metal stand...it would be perfect for a couple of plants. The corner stand is great, too.
ReplyDeleteI posted recently that I would not seek help for my addiction! It's the thrill that keeps me goin' LOL! Like your metal stand and mirror. Paint is truly a girl's best friend. Visiting from Rhoda's.

I had to stop over when I saw the shelving unit. I have 2 additional pieces from the same set. Wall shelves and a corner shelf - both thrifted of course, the wall shelving never used, in original box! Now that I know there is more...
ReplyDeleteThere was a time when I couldn't set foot in a retail store. I was afraid I would openly and loudly scoff at those ridiculous prices.
Now when I "shop" with friends they never ask if I want to go to Boston Store or even Target or Walmart.
Those were nice finds, that sconce is so pretty.
ReplyDeleteNow I have no idea what I would do with that little wire stand, but I love it!!! Have fun!
ReplyDeleteThat 5.00 mirror is amazing. Great finds.

Ha we could all use help!!~ I am sorry if this week my parties are confusing...I recently started a Before and after party every other week....my garage salen party still goes on during the weekends though every week....you can leave the link up though no biggie...but if you have any Before and after projects that would be great!
ReplyDeleteGreat finds! You have been busy for sure.
ReplyDeleteI love my addiction. Why would you want to pay retail when you can buy used and get such quality and character! Love you finds!
ReplyDeleteGreat finds, I am addicted also, I hate when i can't find something at a yard sale, antique store etc. I need a shower curtain liner and I am afraid I am going to have to buy one! ha!
ReplyDeleteI stopped over from Debbie Doo's

Wow. Love that sconce. Can't beat it for the price. I just started garage saling a few months ago and am hooked!
ReplyDeleteThanks for becoming one my followers!!!
I am right there with you--I too am addicted to thrifting--I actually go through terrible withdrawal if I don't hit a thrift store, or garage sale, or curbside at least every other day:) Thanks for sharing your wonderful finds.
