The Frugal Homemaker

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

Friday Faves + Frugal Finds: baskets, new sheets, and more

April 24, 2015

I didn’t do a lot of thrifting or yard saling in the last few weeks due to lots of rain and being out of town this past weekend.  But I did manage to pick up a few things and find a few things that I liked at Goodwill.

This coffee table was $10.  Since it is solid wood it could easily be sanded, painted, or stained and turned into a beautiful piece.

These 3 white canisters were sold as a set for $4.74.  That’s a great price for 3 canisters.

These would be super cute with chalkboard labels on the front on a counter like I did with mine.

Adding some chalkboard love to plain glass jars

So here’s a few things I picked up… this basket was $1.00 at a yard sale.  I added it to my guest bathroom to store washcloths in it.  And there’s my glass canisters from Goodwill put to use too.

I also picked up this brand new set of yellow sheets for $3.00.  I was so excited!  I am looking for second sets of sheets for all our beds – I have only had 1 set ever since we got married.  And the yellow is PERFECT for my guest room – I am busy at work in there too and can’t wait to show you what I have done.

I think it is supposed to rain all day tomorrow so probably no yardsaling for me Sad smile    So if it is pretty where you are – get out and do some treasure hunting and share with me what you find!

    Christina, you certainly are a smart shopper. I love seeing all the bargains you find – like that 3-piece set of white canisters. I only shop at a couple of bargain shops and don’t find very many items I like. I guess I need to broaden my shopping base – like the Dollar Tree that’s just opened a used items store.

    Blessings
