Thrifty Finds - 7/12/10

I had some great finds recently at Volunteers of America and our local Salvation Army (which is usually pretty crappy, so I was excited!).

From Volunteers of America’s 50% off day (their pricing is SO weird):

5 milk glass bowls -- $.15 each

luke's first b-day 238

Twine-looking photo frame (for my beachy bathroom) - $.45

luke's first b-day 242

Cool vintage Pyrex bowl – $.96

luke's first b-day 245

4 orange placemats for Luke’s party -- $.45 each

luke's first b-day 244

2 Kerr canning jars (I also used these for the party; you’ll see them in the party post!) – $.30 each

luke's first b-day 240

AE hoodie – $2.50

luke's first b-day 247

Tommy Hilfiger wedges - $1.46 (There’s some black marks but they’re covered by my feet when I wear them - I am in love with these!)

luke's first b-day 237

Wire basket (used this to caddy supplies at the party) – $.60

luke's first b-day 239

From Salvation Army:

Cute plate – 99 cents (another instance where knowing French would have helped – I was going to display this in my kitchen until I realized “le bain” means “the bathroom!” lol)

luke's first b-day 241

Chunky whitewashed frame (I just popped in one of my favorite paintings) – 99 cents

luke's first b-day 243

Glass canister – 99 cents

luke's first b-day 246

I love thrifting! :)

  4. These are ALL fabulous finds, Jessica! The prices are unreal, too. Our thrift stores around here- Salvation Army and Goodwill- think they are regular retail stores. Ridiculously overpriced in comparison to what I see bloggers from other parts of the country post. I do much better at yard sales, even estate sales. Thanks for stopping by today.

  15. Wow - what great finds. I love it all. Those shoes are great. I love wedges and the hell height is just right. It's hard to find shoes that are that height.

    Very cute! Your beachy bathroom sounds so adorable. I just redid mine in a beachy theme too. So fun!
