Shelf - Thrift Store find

The BEST find of the weekend!! Only $4, that's right $4 for this nice oak shelf (48 inches long). I saw this shelf on Saturday and didn't pick it up. I ended up having dreams about this shelf. Guess I was meant to have this shelf as it was still waiting for me on Sunday. Price of the shelf was $7.99, so I was greatly surprised and happy to take it for $4. I can't wait to clean up this shelf and hang it on my wall!!

Chairs~Please have a seat!!

Absolutely LOVE these chairs!! Need to get to Denver to visit this AMAZING store, Old Glory Antiques. From what I've seen, this store has some pretty great treasures!!

Thrift store treasures

As you may notice from previous posts, I have found a new love for hunting for treasures at thrift stores. I was extremely excited with my last visit. All the items in the picture were purchased for under $7. If you're looking to re-decorate/decorate a room try checking your local thrift store for items to use. Not only will you save money, but may also be donating to a good cause. Reduce, Reuse, Recycle!!

Tag sale/Thrift store finds

Enjoyed last Saturday attending a tag sale and exploring the thrift stores. I think I found some great treasures. Stay tuned for some before and after projects.

Projects - Before and After

Purchased this item at a tag sale for $5 and wanted to change the color. I went back and forth on the color. Thought about mustard yellow, dark blue, red and finally decided on gray. I think I made a good decision and love the outcome.

What a crock!!

Love, love, love my new crock!! I've been looking for a gray colored crock, and today was my lucky day. The picture really doesn't do it justice. It measures 8 1/4 inches tall and 5 3/4 inches wide. What a great treasure that I found today!!

Fall treasure hunt

What a great day here in Nebraska!! Started the morning attending the Cabin Fever Antique Show and Sale. This show is usually held in January, March and October. There are so many great dealers that attend this show. Prices are usually pretty reasonable and dealers are willing to negotiate a deal. Today's purchases included the neat octagon wood bowl, the multi-color and unusual size area rug and the muted color turkey. I love each of these treasures and can't wait to display them.
Since I was in the neighborhood, I decided to visit The Aardvark Antique Mall. While there I picked up some other great treasures. I always love when I find such great items. My treasures included: a neat harvest picture, a circular metal framed picture of a couple in courtship, wood mortar/pestle set, 2 miniature cutting boards, small basket, a gorgeous blue/brown/red quilt, small wooden sled, willow doll-size bench, long hanging basket, small plaid pumpkin, primitive standing mirror and a small wood pumpkin hanging.
Treasure hunting is always such a fun adventure!! What will I find next?!?!

Thrift Store treasures

Saturday was spent searching the thrift store for treasures. By the looks of it, looks like I picked a great day for hunting. I found a lot of great treasures. The best part is that my total was under $8. Stay tuned for the transformation of a couple of the treasures.
