Your guide to turning your house into a home... one DIY project and yard sale find at a time

Friday Frugal Finds: thrift store finds–shoes, kitchen décor, throws, and more

July 25, 2014

Today I have a mix of frugal finds to share with you from various trips to thrift stores over the last few weeks. 

I picked up this heavy, nice candlestick for $1.01 at Value Village.

On my next trip to Value Village (yes, the cashiers really do know me by name Winking smile), I picked up these 2 chunky, soft throws.  Once again Molly inspired me with her pretty blankets and throws stored throughout her home in baskets and bins and draped casually over couches and chairs.  So I am on the lookout for NICE ones in colors that go in my home to add to my dรฉcor.

Donโ€™t always have frugal fashion to share with you but I did find these shoes at Goodwill for $4.94.

And I also picked up these big fork/spoon pieces for $1.51 each.  I plan to spray paint them and add them to my kitchen.  Need to get on that easy project โ€“ I think they got stashed away quick when I got home and I sort of forgot about them!

Planning a BIG yard sale weekend today and tomorrow.  I have a long specific list of things I am looking for and plan to devote time to just shopping yard sales โ€“ not just stopping at some as I run to town to do errands.  Been a long time since I had time to do that!  Hope I can find some things I am looking for. 

Make sure to follow me on facebook and Instagram I will post some things I am seeing or buying along the way! Smile

    I love all your finds! It’s funny how pillows and throws can add so much fun and color to a house yet be practical too!(; And, I’ve seen lots of big forks and spoons and I love the look of yours the best! Cannot wait to see what you do with them.

    I can’t wait to see what you do with the big fork and spoon. Those are lively with the detail they have. Great candle stick too! Hope you find all on your list at the yard sales ๐Ÿ™‚

    Have a HAPPY Weekend…

    I have the exact same candlestick that I bought either at Value Village or Goodwill. I actually kept it that color, I like the green. ๐Ÿ™‚
