Thrifty Thrift Store Finds

Hello,

I love the Thrift Store! Every day is a good day at the Thrift Store-you never know what treasure waits for you under a pile of old kitchenware, amongst the tattered used books, or out in the "yard" section. All it costs you is the time to rummage through the shelves and a couple of dollars-all for charity! Gals, if you don't frequent your local Thrift Store, you need to start!

Here's a few cute finds from the Deseret Industries Thrift Store I picked-up on my way home tonight:

An old chipped white window, a small aluminum watering can, and a black art deco birdcage-all for a song!
An old black and silver rotating display. I'm going to use this in my antique booth to hang vintage greeting cards and pretty linens and scarves.

Have a good night!

Bunnies Abound!

Hello!

Bunnies abound around the house at Easter and jump-start you into Spring. Here's a few cute little guys that stopped by to keep Alaiki company.

Happy Monday! Di

Pull Over Quick!

Hello!

I guess the bad economy has finally filtered down to the yard sale scene as people are going to extreme lengths to try and pry a hard earned dollar from your wallet. Even though the weather in Boise was only in the mid-40s, this strapping fellow was willing to stand out in the cold for hours flagging down drive-by motorists. We weren't quite brave enough to see what was behind his sign, but we did find a few small treasures inside the garage.

Definitely the best yard sale sign we've ever seen!

Sweet yard sale sign dreams!

Spring Yard Sale Treasures

It catches your eye in the distance on the street corner ahead-it's dazzling bright pink, yellow, or neon green color makes your heart skip a beat. You squint hard. Is it really true? As you close the distance, you realize it's not a dream. You're car goes on auto-pilot and switches lanes. It doesn't matter if you're on the way to work, church, or to pick-up the dog, you will follow until you reach your destination. So is the magnetic pull of the fist yard sale sign of the season!

My bf Beri and I set out this past chilly Saturday in hopes of spotting just such a sign. Loaded up on coffee and Girl Scout Thin Mints, we were not disappointed. Here's a few Spring treasures we found along the way-all for under $10!

A weathered white watering can with sky blue trim.

A 1950s boy's blue jumper with puppy dog.

A Peter Rabbit Golden Book with a furry white bunny friend.

A tiny elf and yellow swan planter.

A charming squirrel shaker sits on the top of a shabby white shelf.

Have a good night!
