ThRiFt StOrE LoVe

i admit it..i love going to ThRiFt stores! I've found some really cool things there. yes i know they are smelly and there are some really strange things/people there but still i dont care. just bring some hand sanitizer and you'll be fine! i love finding things to fix up...today we found this gold picture frame which i spray painted BLACK, i think it turned out nicely! here are a few of the tReAsUrEs i've found thus far.



not sure what this is but hey its kinda cool


The clock is a work in progress


I calculated it out and the picture above cost $1.26 for all of it!


picture easal for a buck!


the "A" is from DI...50cents i think?!

We are also is the process of painting our kitchen! I was thinking it would be a 1 day..maybe 2 day project but nope. So when its all complete i will post pics! And i'll end with Merrick's new thing....CLIMBING! seriously he can stand himself up in the crib, on the chairs at church and now he wants onto the table!

So fun! What a cutie. I love thrift stores too, and you know what I also looooove garage sales. It's kinda the same thing but there are just more stops. My mom and I have found real treasures garage sale-ing!

We've saved so much money from doing things like that! Plus its fun to do! Krew is at that stage where he has to climb on everything! Drives me crazy!

Thrifty stores are awesome, but you are right I always feel nasty when I leave like I HAVE TO WASH MY HANDS! Good finds. I am not patient enough when I go.
