Thrift Shopping and Makeovers

I have been helping my son move into his new home, so I havn’t had time to do a lot of thrifting, but I did make a trip to the Dollar Tree and one stop at Goodwill.  I found a treasure at each stop. Then I ran into Ross to find a few things for his house and I hit the jackpot there.

The Dollar Tree had these wonderful stems and of course they were just $1.  I love the twisted black stem and the wonderful etched design.

See how pretty the grape design is.  Love it.

 Goodwill didn’t have a ton that I was looking for, but of course I just can’t seem to pass up a frame.  I am pretty certain I saw this same one or something similar at Ross for around $8.  This one was $2.

 Just a little too shiny bright gold for me, but my trusty stain will fix that in just a jif.

 I just glop on a lot with a paper towel, let it sit for a minute and then start to blot some of it off.

 Looking better, maybe I should blot off just a little more.

The light makes it look super shiny, however it is a nice gold color with all the carving stained dark.  It will need to dry for a couple of days, then I can play.

At Ross I hit the jackpot.  I found a really nice blanket for my son’s new king bed, then I found 3 pair of sandals for me.  All three pair were $12.99 each.  Can’t beat that.  This is two of them.

Love the gold leather and the gold beads.  Everyone needs a little bling don’t you think.

 This is a really cute black pair with some gold and copper beads.  Love the big amber stones.

 This is my favorite pair.  Love how classic these are.

 Just the right amount of a wedge.  Not too high, but just a little heel.

 The basketweave design of the leather is so pretty and the gold medal is lovely also.

All in all I had a great shopping day.  Tons of fun things.  So, have you found anything fabulous lately?

  This weekend is the big final move with all the furniture into my son’s new house.  I will be there helping and taking pictures to share later.  Have a super weekend.
