Thrifty Thursday: New Treasures

 


I’ve done a little thrifting in the last month, so I thought I’d show you some of my finds!

                When Ryan and I were in Holmes County last month, we went to a Mission Thrift store and found some fun things! Before I show you, can I just tell you again how beautifully organized that store was? I was so impressed! I think if I lived close, I’d shop there quite often.

                First up…I found these beautiful wooden candlesticks. They had about a dozen of them for sale – all varying heights – and I chose three. This table in our living room needed a little extra something, and I thought candles might be the ticket! I was not disappointed when I came home and set them up! I found some pillar candles for them that should arrive soon.

                I also found this little metal holder, and I plan to stuff it with faux plants/flowers and hang it in one of the small spaces in our house that is too small to accommodate any other kind of décor. (It may end up between some doorways or in the kitchen.) Every now and then I find trailing faux plants at the Goodwill, so I’ll watch for one of those!

                I also found this bread slicer, which will be perfect for when we bake loaves of bread! I never get my slices even, so having a guide will be super helpful. (When you thrift in Amish country…)

                Last week, I toured the local thrift store and found this book by Ray Vander Laan. I love Ray’s teaching and did not know about this book. For 50 cents? Yes please!! Looking forward to reading it.

                Once I have time to style and arrange all these finds, I’ll have to show you how they look.
