\"\"<\/a>It’s been a while since I shared my finds. So today is the day!<\/p>\n

These past couple weeks I’ve been on a thrifty binge. And though I don’t have much to show for it, the pieces I found will add the perfect decor to our kitchen (which is almost finished. We just need to paint the back doors and put in a backsplash! Oh, and I need to make curtains. Okay we’ve got a few things left)<\/p>\n

THRIFTY FINDS is not a regular blog feature but you can see other thrifty posts here:
 <\/a>\"\"<\/a> \"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

and now, step on over to the table and I’ll share my treasures….
\"\"<\/a>These four pieces are my favorite. They completely represent the colors and style of our house. A bit vintage, a bit modern, and a splash of color. Not sure where they’ll go. Once we finish our kitchen, I’m sure they’ll find a cozy spot on the counter.
\"\"<\/a>or maybe mr. blue will be a vase filled with yellow wild flowers? Hmm. Options.<\/p>\n

When I saw the floral tin tray in the back, I knew I wanted it. Totally fun, totally cute, a totally great prop for a photo shoot. You might see it again in the future! Or I can hang it on the wall as artwork! Maybe? I’m sure my husband would give me the questioning eye.
\"\"<\/a>No worries, if it doesn’t go on the wall he can serve me breakfast in bed instead.
\"\"<\/a>This bowl is my favorite piece. And I just found out that it’s part of a set! Man, how I wish I had all of these<\/a>. But I’m still happy with lonely yellow. In fact it’s probably obvious that my favorite color is yellow. And I have a thing for circles. I’m actually thinking of small penny tiles for our backsplash…..in pale blue, white, yellow, gray? I can’t decide. That’s the reason we haven’t started the project yet.
\"\"<\/a>Fondue anyone? This 5×7 recipe book is going in a white frame and will hang somewhere in our kitchen, near this<\/a> guy.
\"\"<\/a>I’m not one for collecting glass jars. But this one was so cool and tall, I couldn’t pass it up. I would love to see colorful candies in there. And I would hate telling my kids “no” every time they walked by it.
\"\"<\/a>The jar had tiny remnants of oat dust inside from the previous owner and the smell immediately reminded me of my Grandma’s cupboard. I love how quickly our sense of smell triggers memories.
\"\"<\/a>This (fake, obviously) alligator skin wallet was a random purchase. But I thought it would be cute with a green outfit. And…..sad to admit….but Owen carried it all around Goodwill and was really the person who wanted to buy it. We’ll pretend it’s his European Carryall.
\"\"<\/a>My last two finds are fabrics.
I showed this vintage sheet to Casey and asked, “should I make curtains with this?”
“Hmm, it looks like a bed sheet.”
“It is a bedsheet.”
(and, scene)
\"\"<\/a>So, not sure what I’ll do with all these fun stripes. Maybe a cute dress? I’ve got a queen-size sheet of fabric to work with.
\"\"<\/a>Finally, this pile of red is really cool. In the back corner of the store near the bedding was a stack of red textured vinyl, about 2 1\/2 yards. Ooooo. This will make a fun project! Too bad there’s not any red in my house or I’d make another set of slipcovers for our barstools<\/a>. Or maybe I’ll make a cute purse? Whatever the outcome, it’s a nice addition to the stash. And since it’s definitely not going to fit in the cupboard, it’s going in the closet.
\"\"<\/a>And there you have it! My Thrifty Finds.
There were some clothing purchases mixed in there too but we’ll save that for another day.
Total money spent: $20
\"\"<\/a>And since I love to hear about your thrifty finds, here’s my favorite comment from the last post<\/a>…<\/p>\n

Sascha at <\/span>Piccoli Piselli<\/a>: <\/span>
My dad bought a nice ink drawing of Abraham Lincoln framed with a small cut out document with his signature at a thrift store. Um, yes, HIS SIGNATURE! Turned out to be the real deal. We found out later that this was a paper that a previous slave would carry to show his freedom. I can’t remember the wording of the document, but my dad was so sweet he gave it to me to do as I please. I sold it to a collector of course and gave my dad the money. I love me some thrifting. <\/span><\/p>\n

How totally cool is that?!! And what a sweet dad too.
