Making the rounds to the different thrift stores in our area is something we've always loved to do!
It's a great way to save money on all the things you never knew you couldn't live without... ;)
Besides, it's good ol' fashion fun
(especially when you're with a carload of other people who enjoy it)!

One of my favorite finds of the day...A metal basket with stamped pumpkins and leaves for only $1.75 (it was 1/2 off of $3.50)!
It was beginning to rust on the bottom, so Dad sprayed the inside of it for me with some clear spar urethane.
I filled it with excelsior moss and some tart green apples, and voila!
Here you can see the detail a little better,especially if you click on the picture....
And here is the rest of what I purchased that day!It totaled $9.00...
Not too bad, considering everything was in nice shape, and I rather needed a new lampshade to replace my 20 year old one!
:D

ReplyDeleteT'was a grand trip, yes?
At first, when I was reading your post and I saw the basket, I was thinking, "man... that basket looks really familiar..." :D
Well... IT WAS! lolz

Had a splendid weekend with you!
