Friday Frugal Finds: pillows, napkin rings, and more décor (+ link-up party!)

August 2, 2013

Happy Friday!  Which means it is time for Friday Frugal Finds again!  I found a couple things last week I wanted to share with you.

Picked up these napkin rings – 6 white ceramic ones for $1.00 and 4 metal ones for $1.00.  I plan to spray paint the gold ones some fun color.

At my parking lot yard sale, I picked up this mirrored tray.  Yes, it says $3.00 but I paid $1.00.  I did the old “look at it, put it down” trick actually not really intending to do that.  And as soon as I laid it down the man said, “You can have it for $1.00.”  So I happily paid and went on my way.  Will be pretty once it is cleaned up and I may spray paint the frame/metal too.

Found this heavy wood plaque at Value Village.  It is actually much larger than it looks in the picture – probably 10×10 or larger.

Marked down to $1.21.  I plan to modpodge something to the front of it or something like that.

And found a feather, zippered cover pillow – 1/2 off so I paid $1.49.  It is a really nice chocolate brown and I will probably use it as is.  Although I am always looking just for feather pillow forms to use with my own pillow covers.

By the way, I wash and dry these and they are fine. 

Do you have some frugal finds you want to share?  Link them up below!

    I love the napkin rings! And I’ve been searching for a similar mirrored tray for my bathroom – still on the lookout!

    My mom had an oval mirror just like the one you found. I remember her having it on her dresser holder her perfumes when I was a child. I’m sure that you’ll find a good use for this bargain!

    I enjoyed meeting you at Haven! (I sat at your table at the Ryobi party Friday night.)
