Thrifty Thursday

My sister-in-law and I decided to make a weekly trip to a few near by thrift stores.  Our first thrifting date was on Thursday, so I wanted to share my deals with you.

I picked up two small file boxes for $.99 each.  I saw an idea for a perpetual calendar from Ashley Ann on Design Sponge and want to make one and one of these boxes would be perfect.  I also found a light aqua vase for $1.99.  I don’t know exactly what I’ll do with it yet, but it might find its way to my office for more sneaky storage.  A small candle holder was $1.59.  I had one just like it, but V broke the glass.  Finally, I found a down insert pillow (with a lovely cover!) for $2.99.  No worries, I do not plan to keep the cover, though I told Ben that was the new color scheme I wanted for the living room. 

Have you found any steals at the thrift stores recently?  Has anyone attempted to transform ugly thrift store brass into silver using Blue magic?

    1. That is a good deal! Those suckers cost over $30 each! Nice find. I’m not sure that you can spray paint them with much success becuase they’re foam (and the paint may be bad for the baby…)

  1. I am SO glad you mentioned the blue magic polish again! I saw your original post about this miracle cream and flagged it immediately as a MUST TRY! Well, my over organization has failed me…I found the perfect brass test lamps at an estate sale almost 3 weeks ago and went to my must try file…and could not find the tip. So thank you thank you thank you! Going to the auto store today!
