A thrifting we will go!

On my recent trip to Palm Spring I begged the husband to take me thrifting so I could find cool vintage stuff for the new kitchen. I did my research and wanted to check out Angel View. I guess they have a few out in the valley, we went to the one in Cathedral City.

This tufted leather sofa was awesome, only $99. Of course someone already swooped in on this great deal, as it had a sold sign on it. The husband like this one, this one is very manly.

I loved this faux bamboo metal etagere. This would have be great in my daughter room. But it was also sold. If by chance I did buy this one, I would have spray painted it and relined the faux wood shelves. I guess if I had the cash I would replace the existing shelves with new glass ones. This was $80 by the way.

Two really cool ottoman's $15 each.

I really should have bought one of these, heck two of them.

I actually think this crazy fabric is cool, but the husband not so much.

This beautiful set of china was only $40. I'm kind of regretting not buying it. It was gray with silver rims, so pretty and modern. Oh well, I'm going back to the desert two more times this spring and I'm pretty sure I'm going to buy stuff.

Thrifting find

I found this at the Goodwill this week. Score!!!! It's a moth in a Lucite box. The box its self is a little worn for wear, so I'm going to crack it out of there and place it somewhere special. Not bad for 5.99!

Craft Lab: Thrifted Stocking Holder

I found this really ugly stocking holder at the thrift store and thought I could really make it sparkle. Being super picky about the Holiday decorations, I have never found any stocking holders I like. This one is super heavy and has lots of potential. I painted the whole piece in white acrylic paint two times. Then, I glittered each tree a different type of silver glitter. I even broke out some vintage glitter. It's perfection. I can hang all four of stockings on it.

Craft Lab: Thrifted Metalic Trees

I picked these wooden gold bottle brush trees at a local thrift shop for a buck each. They really needed some help and I knew I could tweak them a bit. I was going to spray paint them white, got everything out and ready, but it began to rain. I really wanted to craft, so I dragged my stuff inside for another project. I decided to glitter the base of the trees and leave the tops gold. So, I slapped on some glue and sprinkled a little glitter on and voila, they were beautiful. I think they look great in the entry flanking my little RV.

Thirft Store Finds

I been going out on more excursions around town lately, exploring a bit. We have 3 thrift stores sort of close by. I found this adorable china pattern. It had a all my favorite colors and the cutest little teacups. It didn't have a price, and it was half off day, too. I should have inquired about it, but got distracted by a four year old that wasn't that into the store. I'll go back this week and see if it is still around. The platter would look great handing on a wall.
