Here's my latest haul:
1970's DIY books-$1 each
Thrift Haven
My brain exploded with inspiration after looking through these books. Then I became overwhelmed with project ideas and had to recover by taking a nap.
Aloe Vera plant-$10
Vendor's Mart
I've wanted an Aloe Vera plant for this bullet planter for a while now, so I was pretty excited to find a big one already in a ceramic pot. All I had to do was set the whole thing in the planter. Best part: the cats don't eat succulents!
Candy Dish-$2.50
STD Flea Market (I know, I know)
One of my 101 in 1001 goals is to expand my studio pottery collection, which is a joke because this is only the second piece of studio pottery I've ever purchased. Now I'm just slightly closer to being able to say I have a collection. I love the color of that dish.
Falsa Blanket-$4.00
Urban Market
I'm seeing a lot of vintage textiles from around the world lately, so I picked up this Mexican Falsa blanket thinking maybe I could use it to create some pillow covers. Then the thought of sewing made me so tired I had to take a nap. I hope to tackle that project very soon.
Be sure to check out the Nifty Thrifty link up at A Living Space. There are some incredible finds over there. Until next time, be thrifty!
great finds - i cant believe you got such a perfect specimen of an aloe plant secondhand! i'd love that myself. blankets always tease me when i see a nice one in the thrifts...just need to think of justifications to buy more :)
ReplyDeleteI thought the aloe was a great deal too! I'm happy I don't have to start with a tiny one. Thanks for stopping by!
DeleteI love the idea of turning that blanket into pillows!!!!
ReplyDeleteThank you! Me too, but I'm finding it hard to get up the courage to cut it apart. I have to obsess over it for a while before I can go through with it. :)
