It has been a while since I shared some thrifty finds with you guys.
If you have been here long, you know I LOVE finding a good deal.
So, I am here today to share some thrifty love with all of you!
I scored this beautiful chair from a resale shop.
I fell in love with it immediately.
Neutral colors, vintage, velvet, nail head trim and made of real wood.
Yes, please.
It wasn't marked with a price.
When I asked the gentleman working, I was told it was $35.
Hmmmm,
I thought long and hard about that price.
I knew if the hubs would have been there he would have told me to haggle.
So, haggle I did!
I whipped out a $20 bill that I had in my wallet.
Looked at the gentleman and said,
well I am going to have to have it cleaned.
So, $20 is the best I can do.
He paused for a moment, smiled and said SOLD!
Wooooohooooo!
I was SO excited, and the hubs was proud of me for haggling.
I have to say, I was proud of myself!
Don't be afraid to haggle!
If I can do it, you can do it!
I have big plans for this lovely chair.
Stay tuned for that post!
I found this vintage white oval plate.
Vintage.white.dish.
Need I say more.
At 50 cents, this lovely lady came home with me.
Then I found this beautiful tacky piece of art.
She will be made over soon into, surprise, a chalkboard!
I couldn't pass it up for $1.
I loved the color of this vintage cookie sheet.
I, however, won't be using it as a cookie sheet.
Big plans for it also.
I paid 50 cents for it.
Our fruit bowl that holds apples/oranges/bananas has been overflowing lately,
so I picked up with silver fruit basket for $1 to hold just our bananas.
Ohhhhhhhh friends,
I am in LOVE with this 1978 vintage map.
It is in pristine condition.
And was only 50 cents!
Not sure exactly where it will go yet,
but besides the chair, it was my best purchase on this thrifting outing!
Last, but not least,
I stumbled upon these four white candleholders.
They were $1 for all four.
I knew they would look perfect on our mantle.
So, there you have it, my latest thrifty finds.
Totaling $24.50 for everything.
Woooohoooo!
How about you?
Have you stumbled across any great deals lately?
If so, I would love to hear about them!
Have a wonderful day my dears!

great finds--I can't believe you got that chair for $20! I have a 3 week old baby, so I've been having trouble fitting in any thrifting. I think it's about time I start indoctrinating him in the ways of bargain hunting, though ;)
You must be a thrifty treasure hunter, for sure. The chair was a total steal in my book.
Recently on FB I saw a post where they took thrift store "Art" or whatever and augmented them with surreal monster's - whimsical characters and stuff - that picture with the chair is scraming to have the travel gnome in a hawaiian shirt on it!
