I Got My Thrifting Fix!

I had the week from you-know-where last week (helloooo sick infant), but I was able to get out for a few hours, which definitely preserved my sanity. I met my friend Lindsay for lunch and then went to get my hair cut. (I don't know about you all, but if I was going to kidnap someone, I'd definitely kidnap a hairdresser. It is THE most relaxing thing in the world to sit there and have someone run their hands through your hair! lol )

Anyway, on my way to get my hair done, I happened to pass by a thift store. I've been to this one before and not been too thrilled wtih it, but there were little 50% off signs stuck all over the grass and the parking lot was full so I decided to go inside.

I'm so glad I did because I found some fabulous items!

(Pictures are dark, sorry!)

I have been looking for juice glasses and these were perfect for 15 cents each! I have been on the hunt for a salt shaker and was so happy to find these cute vintagey-looking ones for 30 cents for the pair. They have that old-school glass writing on the bottom which I love.

Frames were 45 cents each.

I was thrilled when I saw this "B" - our monogram- it was if God was smiling down on my whole trip. :) (It was 45 cents, too)

I know most people probably put these photo boards in their kitchen or office, but it will go perfectly in our bedroom (colors in there are blue or brown). I have it above my dresser and it is the perfect place to put notes from my husband or movie ticket stubs and other sentimental items since I have finally admitted that I'm not a real scrapbooker! {$2.47}

I have been on the hunt for this book ever since I heard someone read it to the kids at my church in college. It's a wonderful book with beautiful illustrations and I can't wait to read it to Luke someday! {$1.24}.

I am in looooooove with my new Eiffel Tower (tag on the bottom says Target). It goes so well with my Eiffel Tower clock and it was only $2.47! It needs to be spray-painted, but since I live in the beautiful, sunny Northeast that will have to wait a few more months.

{On my way home, I popped into a Dollar General to look for something and ended up walking out with these adorable mini-ornaments for 10 cents. These are great for filler next year! I would have bought a bunch more but I'd used my cash at the thrift store and I refused to use my debit card for a purchase less than $1. :) }

On Saturday, Lindsay and I went to an Estate Sale and I scored again!

Plate rack (also needs to be painted, but fabulous for parties!): $4

Adorable oil painting of sailboats: 50 cents

4 Corningware Ramekins: $2

Apothacary jar: $1 {see this post to view the jar}

Suitcase (we don't have any and end up taking 80 gajillion tote bags when we go to CT to visit my family): $5 {it's outside in the car and I refuse to go out in the cold just to get it! :)}

It feels sooooo good to be out and about getting great deals again! Yard sale season cannot come fast enough!
