1 Hour 3 Thrift Stores

Hi There!

How was everyone’s Thanksgiving?!  I think I’m still stuffed from the bounty – I love it!  And we spent the next few days reveling in family time and staying away from the mall action.  I did partake in some on-line shopping, but ‘cummon, it’s so easy!  I had to!  And what did I purchase?!  A beauteous new miter saw.  Yay, for muah!  My first project, which of course I will share, is going to be a vent cover.  Fancy, I know.

I have been wanting to do the 1 Hour thrifting challenge for soooo long.  Monday morning I finally got my chance!  No one would miss me for such a short while… I decided to tackle the three closest thrift shops to my house.  Here’s what I found:

Salvation Army, Stop Numero Uno and where I spent a good 1/2 hour – whoops!

So, yeah I struck out pretty bad at the last stop even though I was feeling good about it.  Alas, thrift store hunting is all about the chase and I would say that 9 times out of 10 I end up with a bag full of nothing!  I did however decide last minute to get the 6 little pots.  I love the look of little succulents and I think they’d look so cute in these.  I’d never put any flowers or water in my collectible pieces, so my small investment might just pay off in a cute holiday vignette.  We will see!

What do you like best?  Anything?

I’m still thinking about that wicker settee for the kids room, but they’re boys and will probably think it’s lame.  Boo.

Please share some of your latest treasures!  I’d love to see!!

Happy Creating!  Jessica
