Thrifty Finds

I feel like I haven’t been to the thrift store in a long time, so, to beat some cabin fever, my daughter, granddaughter and I hit the local Goodwill today.  While my daughter looked for some clothing to upcycle, I headed to the home décor section.  Here’s what I found and came home with.

This long wood piece ~ $3.99.  This will, of course, be getting painted.  I think it would make for a great sign and it would fit perfectly over the front door.  Now I just need to figure out what to paint on it.  Seen any interesting signs lately?

This French inspired clock ~ $4.99.  The first thing to grab me was the shape of this.  I don’t know if the clock even works, but if it doesn’t that’s okay.  I will take the clockworks off and this will be ready to become another sign.

The last thing I came away with was this wood candleholder ~ $1.99.  It looks like it has not been stained or painted and has some lovely detailing along the bottom portion.  This will be getting painted and I will have to make sure that detailing stands out.  Notice the little hooks? If I have any extra crystals left, I may hook them on.

I did not find this at the thrift store.  This nosy girl is Misty and she will be 14 in March.  She had to come over and get all up in my space while I was taking these pictures so I took hers.

All in all, a good trip to the thrift store!  We got out for a little bit and came home with some nice finds.
