Trash to Treasure Tuesday

Hi y'all! I'm playing in Trash to Treasure Tuesday again. Diane @ A Picture is Worth a 1000 Words is our wonderful hostess. I thought that since y'all are thrifters, that you might enjoy seeing the thrift finds as they come into the house. ;o) Then @ the end of my post, I'll show what I have done w/ at least one of them.

My "hauls" are not always from one trip to the TS. I often go twice a week (sometimes even 3 times a week!) & I keep them in a box then take pictures of everything for that week...I'm usually weeks behind in getting them posted though. And they are almost always from 2 stores since there is another thrift store near the GW I frequent.


I love, love, love this tiny drop leaf table & it was only $20. (I know, I know...I'm a price dropper. But I love to brag about my bargains!) It's really small, not much higher than my knees ..... did I say I LOVE it! It'll get a coat of white paint.

This clock will get a make-over w/ white paint, a bit of distressing & some bling. The mink hat was such a disappointment. I thought the tag said $1.99 & when I got it home I realized that it said $19.99. I like the hat but not enough to pay $20 for it! So I returned it for a store credit. As you'll see, I bought a lot of stuff that day & when the total was more than I expected, I just figured I spent more than I thought.

Would you believe that this silverplated tea set w/ sugar & creamer was only $15.99?


Here's the rest of my loot. The chandelier will become a teacup chandelier...$5! The fleur de lis has a purple stain on it but that will be rectified w/ white paint. And I bought the anniversary clock ($5) for the dome. I'll hang onto the clock hands too but will probably chuck the rest of the clock. The fabric is a Ralph Lauren pillow case..I already have 2 just like it.

Love these sweet little guys!

I adore this poodle & it was only $2.99! I have a collection of dog figurines....they may be my favorite collection.

This little lamb will be adorable in my Easter decor.

I used this vintage bride & groom on our anniversary table this weekend. You'll see more pics of it on Tablescape Thursday. Another $2.99 well spent!

Look how lovely the teaset (or is it a coffee? I've seen this shape called both) looks on the table in front of my mantel. I wouldn't exactly call it trash though since I didn't even have to polish it.

And the Mama & baby poodle get along so well w/ the other dogs in my collection. I'll share all of my doggies in KD @ Southern Whimsy's Themed Thursday . This week's topic is "Furry Friends Real or Faux".

Look at their eyes...they look like glass & are so real looking that I swear I can almost see a soul behind them. ;o)
