thrift store thursday

today has been a happy thursday.
i lined up with the other lunatics at the thrift store at 9 am to wait for the doors to open.
those shopping carts are a hot commodity.

thursdays are always a big day at the ph thrift because items that were marked half off go to 50 cents.
mostly i go because that's my only kidless morning.
that and the thrill of the hunt entices me. ;)

my two favorite purchases today....

set of 6 vintage glasses.
they have a date with the dishwasher and then off to the booth they go.
i know i've found a keeper when i have a hard time letting them go. :)

i've been looking for a good lamp base for our living room.
for $4.50, i decided this little number would fit the bill.
it had a date with the can of gloss gray spray paint.

i used frog tape to tape up the parts that i didn't want painted.

thankfully today is a perfectly sunny spring day to do some spray painting in the yard.
and p.s. i broke up with krylon.
i have learned through my years of painting not to cheap out on paint.
you definitely get what you pay for.
i use rust-oleum or valspar these days.
less coats, better coverage, etc.

she's currently drying in the sun.
i'll be sure to show you the after, asap. :)

have a great afternoon, y'all! :)
