Thrifting for Spring!

I love spring because it brings everyone outside and shopping so that the thrift stores are humming and the garage sales are buzzing and I am finding some fabulous goodies!

Goodwill is the best place to find a great deal where I am and we have two near me that I have been visiting weekly for some time.

I have been looking for two matching frames to showcase some original artwork I had collected from Ebay artists and I fell in love with these at the Goodwill immediately. At $4.99 each I couldn't pass them up!
They had some reproduction artwork in them that I removed and will have glass cut at Home Depot to show off the original matted watercolors I will be hanging over each nightstand in our bedroom.


I am redecorating both the main bathroom and living room with chocolate and that lovely chartreuse shade that is so popular right now. I got these drapery panels for $8 for the pair and this bowl for $1.99. The bowl is for the bathroom to use as a caddy and the drapes will go in the living room.


For myself, I found this black leather and suede Kate Spade handbag in mint condition. Not being an expert on such things, I couldn't tell you if this is an original or a knock-off. But if it is a copy, it certainly is a good one because the stitiching and the detail are very well done. Either way at $12.99, I love it and will be looking fashion forward at the communion I will be attending this month!

I have even more great finds, which I still need to photograph, and I will share those as soon as I do.

Have a great weekend!
