Thrifted Thursday #4!

Hi y'all!

welcome to thrifted thursday, where we share our thrifted {or yard saled or craig's listed or dumpster dived} finds for the week! :)

no thrifting for me this week but i do have a really fun item that is going in my flea market booth {located in All My Treasures in fayetteville, if you're local}.

i showed you that i was making these last week and now i've decided to make up a bunch of them for my booth {or gifts or myself, whatever comes first. ;)}

my neighbor asked what i would charge for them so i decided it would be fun to make  up a dozen or so. :)

i am selling them for $5 to people who ask me or $6 in my booth since the store will get a commission.
i will try to not keep them all for myself.

and now, to up the cuteness level of this post, i give you, ruby jane, prettiest thing in red glitter shoes. :)

what have y'all thrifted this week?

please do link up and share your finds!
i'd love for you to link back here and also check out the other links. :)

Thrifted Thursday {on friday}

oh my word.
i get the lamo blogger award.
yeah. i totally forgot to do thrifted thursday yesterday!
like, it never even crossed my mind.
ha.
my brain has gone to mush. that's all there is to it.

we have had a really fun, very summery week this week.
it's blazing hot....just the way i like it.
AJ has worked late several nights, but it's been okay.
we've spent a bunch of time outside and i have the bug bites to prove it. ;)

okay on to my thrifted finds...

oil painting in original frame.
this pic doesn't do it justice....i'll just tell you....it's awesome. :)
and it's large.
this is another item my friend stacy brought me from cleaning out her grandma's house.
i may find a spot for it in our room...if i figure out what i'm doing in there.

my mom brought me this sweet little book that she found while thrifting.
aaah...i love it.
i love old books.
this one just has such a sweet cover and it's the original edition...1881!!!
so cool.

i love an old book with an inscription....gives life to the book.

the boys and i discovered pressed flowers in it this morning...so. cool!
makes me wonder about dorothy and why those flowers were precious to her. :)

mom also brought me these vintage bingo cards.
i die.

i found this vintage floral plate at the thrift store for 50 cents.
it says england 1551 on the back. crazy.
i added it to my ever evolving plate wall in the dining room.

i plan to keep adding to it over time.
i love my house to look like it's been collected over time...i think that makes it so cozy. :)

my mom brought me these goldtastic mirrors to spray paint for my booth.
i thought i'd try them on my wall in the dining room and i like them! :)
i may not love them forever but they make me happy right now.
thanks mom!

so it's friday and we have nothing going on so i may try to get out and do some yard saling this morning.
with my four kids....it may be crazy!
i might need to stop by the bank and get them free popcorn for their troubles.  :)

have a great day y'all. :)

i LOVED seeing your fun thrifted finds from last week!!!!
won't y'all join me again?? :)

Thrifted Thursday {and a LINKY!!!}

Hey Y'all!

Welcome to Thrifted Thursday. :)

okay so i have a super busy day today so i am going to try to be brief and let the pictures do the talkin'. :)
so once again, as summer has seemed to be, i haven't done my normal thrifting....but . . . and it's a big one....my mom and my friend stacy have saved the day. :)

my friend stacy has been cleaning out her grandma's house and my mom has been cleaning out my grandparents' house....so between the two of them, i have some amazing vintage goodies hanging out in my house right now.

so here are a few of my favorites....

vintage backgammon game.
i have no idea how to play it...but it sure looks pretty.
and that's what counts, right?

glassware, frames, doilies.
i think the glass juice pitcher would be adorbs used as a vase stuffed full of daisies.

the quilts.
oh my heavens, the quilts.
hand stitched perfection.
my mom thinks that her grandma made these.
i love them, i love them and i don't care who knows it.
i think i started hyperventilating a bit when she brought them by.

pretty sure vintage quilts are my love language.
that's a thing, right?

this beaut is already on the end of our bed.
sure, it smells like old lady perfume, but that's part of the charm.  :)

the middle one with lots of pinks and purples and flowers is draped over ruby's chair in her room.
love the mix of plaids and florals on the top two.
seriously, perfection.
the blue and red plaid will be used in the boys' room in some fashion....ooooh, just thought of it, i'll drape it on the couch upstairs in the playroom.
yes. ma'am. i am happy about that. :)

stacks of vintage, hand-crocheted linens.
i die.
the hours that were put into these.
amazing.

the more tattered ones will be turned into various crafts like this one....

i made that sweet little hoop on saturday with a bit of one of the pillowcases that had been already been cut.
some of the linens will go to the booth but i am keeping plenty for my decorating fancy. :)

i believe that i should turn a couple of these pillowcases into dresses for miss ruby, don't you think?

okay so i didn't really let the pictures do the talking.....i never was very good at brevity.


so what have y'all found while thrifting, yard saling, trash picking, curb lifting, craig's listing, grandma's house snooping lately????

if you've posted about it, please join us and link up for our first ever....

thrifted thursday

hey friends. :)

if you're hopping over from apartment therapy today...welcome. :)

thursdays are the day i share my thrifted finds for the week. 

also . . . fun news . . .  because everyone loves to see a good thrifted treasure . . . starting next week, we'll have a thrifted thursday link up right here. :)

i can't wait! 

so you have a week to get your posts all ready to go. 

your post can be about anything thrift related....thrift shopping, yard sale scores, craig's list finds, etc.

yay. :)

can't wait to see what you all come up with!!

so . . . i have a dining room full of vintage goodies that i can't wait to sort through and show you....but for today, i want to show you a couple of great new pieces that we got for our breakfast nook. 

the breakfast nook that we don't actually eat in at all. ;)

when we knew we were moving to this house, i started looking for a small desk.

i knew we were moving the big desk to avery's room.

i really don't need much of a desk because i just haul the laptop wherever i am.

i just needed a place to basically store officy type stuff. ;)

i found this sweet small secretary at a consignment sale a few weeks before we moved.

love it.

it's nice and small, pretty lines and i love the vintage glass knobs.

did not love the weird, fleshy color.

i spray painted that sucker with a few coats of glossy charcoal gray spray paint and now she is perfect.
a secretary should be called a she, right? ;)

she even has a pull out tray.
not sure what i'm going to put on those little, small shelves......

okay...so if you read my last instafriday post or follow my instagram, you know i am over the moon for our new {old} piano.

my parents just moved and gave us their piano.

i am beyond thrilled with it.

so this wasn't technically thrifted, but it was free so that counts. ;)

i. love. it.
it's gorgeous and perfectly vintage, just the way i like things. :)

we have wanted a piano in the house for a long time.
my boys have been practicing piano on a keyboard for years, so this is a huge blessing.
i love hearing them play and avery will play the doxology for me anytime i ask. :)

 i'll show you the rest of the "breakfast nook" soon...still trying to figure out the arrangement.


okay friends....what thrifted treasures have y'all found this week?
