Thrifty Finds

These prints are in my bedroom, found them at Goodwill this summer for $2.99 a piece. I love how they are so muted and serene.

I am joining Rhoda's Thrifty Find's Party over at Southern Hospitality.

My drapes are white cotton duck material and cost me very little, on clearance from Ross, I think about $6 per window.
The hanging votive holder was from Party Lite, have one on either side of dresser. These were not cheap, I bought them several years ago in support of my Sis-in-law who was hosting the party. They really are very pretty. Would you believe I had them for a few years before I ever put them up, pretty sad after paying over $100 for the pair. :)

This is a sweet card I recently purchased at a cute little shop in Micanopy, FL. Don't ya just love it!
This is my shabby chic bedding from Target. The bluish shams however I found just the other day at Goodwill. $1.99 a piece. Love this color!!

My bedroom walls are green and not the right shade for these blue pillow shams, but I love the color so much I don't care right now. I will probably paint the room a lighter version of the aqua. Shhh don't tell my husband. The walls were this color when we bought the house.

So here is another recent Goodwill goodie. I think it is either a table cloth or a bedspread. I don't know what you call this technique, but it is beautiful and reminds me of my blogger friend Kim at Daisy Cottage. For $3.99 I couldn't resist grabbing it, even though I'm not sure what to do with it.
One week a few weeks back I went a little crazy with books. But who can resist when they are $.25 or $.50 a piece.
A wine box full of ribbons, $1.99. What a steal!
This is a very lovely pillow, a high end one. $2.99 at you guessed it the Goodwill!

It is a dandelion in 3 stages of live. Large and looks like it was never used. Score!! It goes OK with my guest room, but not sure if it will stay there yet.

  8. I know what you mean about partylite - wow. Pricey. And I've seen it very cheap at good will and places like that... you cant sell it for near what it costs although people do pay a pretty penny for it on ebay if you still have the boxes for some retired things - if you want to go that way!

  9. I really like your dandelion pillow - so cute. Gee, you should combine it somehow with that chenille bedspread. Like the ribbons in your wine box...
