You know I like to share my finds at thrift stores, TJ Maxx and Ross, and I’m back to share more. I did this shopping a few months ago and I just haven’t shared it with you. Until now. Katie Bower inspired me. I am envious of her finds, so I thought I’d try to make you envious of mine 😉
First up, here are my recent Goodwill and thrift store finds.
More brass. I can’t pass it up now that I know the magic Blue Magic can do. The large footed bowl was $3.99, the small vase was $.99 and the brass taper holder was also $.99, but 50% off. The glass pillar candle holders were $.50 each and I’ve seen similar ones at Target for 5 bucks each! What a deal! The lacquer coasters were $1.99. I love the pop of color they add and Vincent loves that they double as plates for his snacks. The decanter was a whopping $1.99, too. I planned to use it to store alcohol, but Ben doesn’t like it. Yesterday during my judging duties, I saw the perfect use for it: storing mouthwash! Brilliant idea, thanks, Kate!
After a little Goodwill shopping, it was time to hit up TJ Maxx where I snagged these goodies:
It’s hard for me to pass up a cute hourglass, so this one went home with me for $5.99. You’ve already seen the bird and branch candle holder ($11.99) and the large glass vase for $5.99 in a fall decorating post.
Speaking of fall decorating, I have added two sets of tweed leaf bowls to my Etsy shop! Get ’em while they’re hot.
On a side note, our dining table is featured over at Tatertots and Jello today!

Oh how I envy you & Katie B with your amazing finds!
I love your table but I am even more in love with the blue walls in your home by the wood table. What color is that? It is gorgeous!

Hi Karene,
Thanks so much for your kind words! I’m guessing you’re wondering about the dark blue? That is Hale Navy by Benjamin Moore.
Hope it helps!

My mom thinks I’m crazy for liking Goodwill. Some of my favorite little things have come from there though! Loving all that you have to share here (especially your handmade wall art!). PS: I see that you took interior design classes. I graduate this March from my course and am so excited! There is so much to learn outside of the classroom that I’m sure if you get in somewhere you can learn on the job!
I bought that same hour glass, but at Marshalls. It’s in my bedroom now. I’m still waiting to find the perfect brass piece to try out the Blue Magic on.
Mouthwash in a decanter? Genius! I want to surprise my husband with a man-cave-bathroom (we don’t quite have the funds for an actual mancave! haha) and that would go with the boozy theme I have in mind =)
Thanks!
