Struck again at Kroger..
Filled with all my favorites…. for a spring bouquet
They look lovely inside my hand painted thrifty deal
And all I went in for was a can of tuna fish and a diet pepsi.. chuckles…. I gotta stay away from there.. or I’ll have a florist in my house if this keeps up… but for now – they’ll brighten my hump day tommorrow… Hope the pretty flowers brighten your day
Just when I thought my $2.00 Tuesday was over, your vintage girl struck again at the yard sale. It’s an item that I would have NEEEVER thought to buy from the store, because, it just wouldn’t have occured to me as … Continue reading
I made a trip to the Goodwill again, feeling a bit discouraged because lately I hadn’t lucked up on anything. I did find a hurricane and a square vase, so I picked them up. They’ll come in handy one day.
Then I received the latest Pier 1 magazine in the mail and this caught my eye:
The hurricane vase.. see their price – $40.00 with 20% off (whoopdy-doo) just hurricane wood base $32.00
The hurricane I lucked up on was $6.75 – so I decided to re-create the look for less using the hurricane vase I picked up at Goodwill and the $1.00 candle I bought the last time Goodwill Hunting. I found a base I had lying around the house, and some stones from other plants and created the look. So I re-dressed the table update. My update cost – a mere $7.75 (boo-yahhh!)
I also added a simple little touch to the table
I definitely like the new look of this table. So I feel confident to continue with project.
Hey all!!! If you’re just joining me.. I scored this week’s $2.00 item last week during my Goodwill Hunting. It was the Martha Stewart wastebasket. Yes, it had some bruises on it – but that’s ok.. it’s been transformed.. and I’m pleased with the finished product. Remember it’s going in my office – so I wasn’t too meticulous about it.
Here’s the wastebasket before: I know… pretty bland.. right..(Martha Stewart huh???)
Well here’s your Vintage Girl’s version
Much better right!!!! ( Please say yes, please say yes… 🙂 )
The teeny-tiny little bubbles occurred when I removed the tape..but again – it’s ok… (besides they add texture )
Here it is inside my office… It’s the perfect size… and price $2.00
It’s not Vintage – but it’s definitely Thrifty –
I think even Martha would be pleased… –
And as for the rest of the goodwill items.. here are some around the house..
Batteries added to the candles.. not bad for $2.50; Pillows are washed and fluffed back up…$4.00
This pair of frames looks perfect with the print scarf draped across the wine cabinet
And my lovely ballerina niece looks adorable in this frame
Like I said.. it was a very good Goodwill Hunting – Well I’m off .. see you again real soon….
Hey there… yes.. Goodwill Hunting- and not the movie… 🙂 .. I paid a visit to see if my $2.00 Tuesday Fairy has left a goodie for me under my pillow …. (yes I remember the days of the toothfairy so now she’s my $2.00 Fairy – cause that’s how much we use to get for a tooth..) Thank you Daddy (r.i.p) … OK moving right along… but yes, she struck again. After being well acclimated in my new office space the one thing I was missing and realized I needed was a wastebasket. Brand new ones were overpriced.. I mean really you see my office.. I don’t think I need to make a fashion statement in there.. but at Target I found these.. Prices range from $9.99 to $14.99
Well I found this one at Goodwill – Yes it was $2.00 (starting the new year off right)
A Martha Stewart wastebasket… sure it’s got some bruises .. but that’s ok… It’s sturdy, not torn or falling apart.. but it’s not staying this way… (you know me – Spray Paint to the rescue)
But you know wandering eyes just couldn’t stop at this.. I had to keep looking – just to see.. (thank God hubby wasn’t with me.. because he’d say ..”ok – you got what you’re looking for – let’s go” . Well – like I said in the title of this post.. Goodwill Hunting.. I found all these items there too!!!
Battery-operated candles were definitely a steal of a deal.. for $0.75 for this one
and for the pair of the olive green trees were $2.50 (OH MY GOD!! they smell soooo good – I can’t wait to get batteries..)
d
Much needed picture frames.. the glass (for someone who’s got a birthday coming 🙂 – and a gardener can ALWAYS use watering can
The pillows… can’t pass those up.. for $2.00 each.. (besides.. didn’t Pantone say the new color this year is Orchid.. chuckles..)
All in all…. I will definitely say it was a good “GOODWILL Hunting”
My total spent … $14.25 –
now it’s time for me to get busy working on that wastebasket.. I’ll see you soon to show you how I incorporate my new goodies around the house..
Tah-tah….
