We are in Minnesota this week, and while in town, I passed a thrift store. I vowed to stop in before the week was up, and ended up going on Tuesday. Boy, was I ever glad I did! It was a treasure trove of finds! I browsed the aisles, trying not to grab everything that I fancied! There were a few things that I absolutely could not leave behind, though!
Check out these super finds!
The large embroidery hoops were an item for which I had been looking, due to several posts on Pinterest. I have big plans for these in my craft/scrapbook/laundry room! :)
The little white jug was love at first sight for me. It has a little blue windmill painted on the other side, but I haven’t decided what I want to do with that yet. I may just leave it facing the wall. Or, maybe I will spray paint the whole thing… I haven’t decided yet.
The salt and pepper shakers were so cute! I actually can use them for something other than decoration. I picked them up because I liked the shape, and found that they are wooden. That means that I can paint them to match my kitchen décor if I like, or just leave them for a pop of contrasting color. Whatever I decide, I will be happy with my find!
My other great find was a picture frame… “What’s the big deal?” you may think, but I have been looking for a certain size and shape of frame for some time in order to make this particular Pinterest project that I saw a while back. It is perfect for my front door!
Isn’t it adorable? And so very “outside the box” for a holiday wreath! I wanted something a bit more ornate, but this frame was very sturdy and the perfect price, so I grabbed it. I can’t wait to get back home and get to work on this holiday project! The question now is where I am going to store all this stuff until we get home. I have run out of space in my bin! :) Hopefully, I will have enough time to get this done before Christmas.
I don't usually see decorations that I think I would like to make. But that wreath is really cool. Not sure if I will try it for this year but it is in my mind for the future. It really is rather cool! Thanks for sharing!
