Great finds #1........

Well, this haul isn't exactly from just this week...... We were out of town for a week while we went on vacation for Spring Break, so this is probably around 3 weeks.

Big Poppa needs shelves in his newly decorated room (reveal to come soon). So, to do it as cheaply as possible, I was going to buy a 2x10 board at Lowes and have them cut it in half, then purchase the L-shaped brackets to hold them up. All-in-all it would have been about $12.00, pretty cheap-o, eh? Well, to my amazement, when I was perusing the local Goodwill, I found these babies! Oh yeah!

Hmmm, what's that you say, only $3.00 each? SOLD! Have redone these honey's already and will reveal soon! Pretty much in love with the way they turned out. So about 1/2 the cost of what it would have cost for el-cheapo shelves in the first place....{{{{SCORE}}}}

I really like this glass thingy :) Not sure what it is or was it's used for, but I do like the shape of it. I'm thinking of pouring yellow paint inside, swishing it around, then let it drain, but kind of concerned that it might not work? Any of you ever done something like that? But if I do paint the inside, I can't put flowers in there.......oh dear, the decisions I have to make! LOL!. This little beaut was .50, broke the bank with this one.

Glass plates. $1.00 each. Don't know if I should decopauge fabric behind it, then paint an initial in the center, or just paint the initial underneath for a pretty place setting. Still thinking about this one.

Ms. M and I went to an Estate Sale this weekend and picked up this FLIPPIN' AWESOME blue Ball jar! $1.67 and that's all she wrote! I have been in search of the elusive blue Ball jar and so HAPPY HAPPY HAPPY that I found one. This is first of my new collection! I can just see some pretty Shasta Daisies in here, makes me SMILE!

So, there you have it! Will be on hunt again this week, I can just feel the bargains out there! I really appreciate y’all coming by my end of the world! I love me some comments, and I read each one.
