Mirror, mirror on the wall. I found this mirror for $2.99. I loved the design, it had a very whimsical, circus feel to it. I added chalkboard contact paper over the mirror and transformed it for Grace's party.
I have been looking for a beaded handbag. When, I found this beautifully beaded clutch in a Goodwill bin, I felt like it had been placed there just for me. I held my breath as I asked the price {it was missing the tag}. When my Goodwill fairy Godmother returned to tell me it was $1.49, I had to pick my jaw up off the ground. I did some research when I got it home and it is vintage Sax Fifth Avenue from 1964. Beyond a doubt, this is one of my favorite finds.
This large sterling silver tray had a $19.99 price AND, though I loved it, I could not justify spending $20. Happily, I had a 'meant to be' moment with this tray when a week later, on half off anything with a pink sticker day, I saw my tray, gleaming at me with a pink sticker. At $10, this tray and I were meant to be together.
A Game fish of the United States of America puzzle, still in the original packaging, for .99 cents. How cute is the tin it came in? It's perfect for a lake house or cabin SO I donated this to my parents' cabin.
Nowhere near impressive in the picture as it is in real life, this glass vase was only .99 cents. I realize, the picture makes it look like a glass but it is a perfect vase, in the prettiest shade of blue.
The only thing I love more about getting a good deal is sharing it. What thrifty finds have you come across lately?

I love that frame! And what a cute way to transform a clock!
ReplyDeleteI love everything you've got! I think I will have to get to the Goodwill store pretty early to elbow you out of the way!
ReplyDeleteI LOVE a good deal!! You have inspired me to head over there myself!!
ReplyDeleteI didn't know they made chalkboard contact paper!! I wonder if you could paint a mirror with chalkboard paint? I have a little left and like the way yours turned out.
ReplyDeleteLove these deals! That bag is gorgeous! Megan
ReplyDeleteOkay, when we finally do meet in person, we are totally going thrifting. :)
ReplyDeleteP.S. Did you do the lettering on the circus sign?
ReplyDeleteThose are such great finds! That bag is amazing, what a steal...
ReplyDeleteEveryone else has better thrift stores than me. *thrift store envy*
This is one of the things i really really REALLY miss over here. there are no thrift stores. The closest we get are china stores, which is of course no comparison.
ReplyDeletelove your finds!
AMAZING finds!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I love the mirror. And the clock was one of my favorites in the One Crafty Contest! I loved how you put a pin in it to mark the location.
ReplyDeleteGreat finds Amy and awesome upscaling!!
That hand beaded bag! Are you kidding me?! That has got to be the steal of the century! So stunning. Great finds all around! We NEED to go Goodwill shopping next time I am in town.
ReplyDeleteUmmm...can I go Goodwill Hunting with you? Such awesome finds!
ReplyDeleteOooh... I am flipping over that handbag! Now that's an awesome deal for a vintage beauty!!!! Loving the vase too! I made a trip to a Goodwill not too far from where I'm at for the first time... you'd be disappointed to know how close it is to me and that this was my first trip there. In my defense, it's fairly new so I always forget about it:P Anyway, I was thinking of you the whole time:D For this trip, I was on a mission so I didn't mess around..hehe. Went straight to the section I needed and sure enough I found what I was looking for. Two wooden chairs... ready for the price? $1.99 each!!! They are in great condition too! My best score yet!! I was in shock to see the price but of course it was a no brainer..duh! I was in and out in 5 minutes but definitely will be back to do some serious browsing. Don't worry, I'll be posting about my find and my plans for them:D
ReplyDeleteLove them all! I am an utter failure when it comes to Goodwill, boo! Ours is overpriced so that just makes it all the more depressing :( What a handbag SCORE!!!!
ReplyDeleteI may have found a use for my tablecloth: http://inside-outdesign.blogspot.com/2012/06/coffee-table-is-now-ottoman.html
