I Love Thrifting Day Treasures

So, you read about the fun I had

last weekend at the

I Love Thrifting

gathering here

You also saw my teaser of what I got!

I am pretty certain you want to see more than that!

And more there is!

Come along while I show you my

thrifty treasures!

Our first stop was the new Goodwill

at Stapleton.

This is where most of my bounty was found.

I am always on the look at for unusual

placemats and these caught my eye right away!

Remember, it was 50% off day at all Denver area Goodwills!

I paid $2.00 for four the four of these

woven oval placemats.

Of course, I also like traditional so, I

grabbed up four of these red chargers.

See the original price there from JCP?  $$7.99? 

For plastic?

Um no! $1.00 each to me!

Cheap enough that I plan to spray paint them

as needed for a future tablescape.

My new thrifting best friend, Elaine from

Creating Wonderful Spaces,

convinced me I needed to get these

metal chargers.

 At 50 cents for four, she clued me in to the fact

that they are even easier to spray paint!
Now THAT'S a thrifting buddy!

Next to jump into my cart were a set of four

Gibson salad plates.

Again, only 50 cents each.

Look for these to be used for a tablescape very soon!

Maybe they will be used with these?

Over sized, off white dinner plates

with a dark tan rim.

I'm not familiar with the mark but,
I think they were sold at Target for period of time.

at $1.00 each, I HAD to have them!

This was probably my most impulsive purchase of the whole day.

I saw it and immediately thought of spray painting it too

and using it for eggs at Easter.

At $2.00 I didn't think it was that bad of a deal until,

the next day Mr. B & I were at the Dollar Tree

and I saw the same exact one for, yeah, a dollar.

Tell me you have made the same mistake

and make me feel better please?

When I saw these, I remembered another tablescaping blogger

saying, you should always think at least one

season or holiday ahead.

Well, I was thinking almost a year ahead.

Are thinking about Cinco De Mayo yet?

 At $4.00 for the pair I am!

The shape and color of this vase had me thinking of Fall.

Or, maybe filled with some daisies from my garden. 

Summer? Spring? Anytime?

When Deana & Lisa saw this in my cart

they both thought it was totally something

from the Young House Love blog.

He will be getting a coat of white spray paint soon.

When I am out thrifting
I always make sure to check out the textiles.

I loved these as soon as I saw them!

$1.50 for a set of four Martha Stewart Living placemats.

Next to hit my cart were these pretty

glass candle holders

$5.00 total for the pair!

I think they could also look cute

with a bacon maple cupcake sitting on them!

I have been on the look out for one of these.

And was very happy to find it for only $1.00!

I think this piece will pair nicely with the placemats shown above.

I forgot to get the price but I think it was $2.50.

That concludes my highs and lows
from the Stapleton Denver Goodwill.

After a carb loading lunch
we headed off to another new Denver Goodwill
at I-25 and Monaco.

There wasn't much that called my name
at this location.
But I think I did okay.

 Again, am I thinking ahead to Fall?

The salad plates and matching bowls were 25 cents each!

And how about some goblets to go with them?

$1.50 each

Okay I know I have a Pin somewhere

of what I want to use these for

but I can't find it right off.

Trust me, it's really pretty.

$4.50 for the triplets.

I think this runner will be really pretty on the buffet

during the winter holidays.

It's got the right amount of sheen to it.

$1.50 to dress up the buffet!

And finally,

what I showed as the teaser

A pair of silver plate

heart shaped candy dishes.

A tad tarnished.

But, at $1.00 each I think they will

clean up nicely!

So there you go!

My 

I Love Thrifting day treasures.

It was an awesome day 

spent with wonderful new friends!

I wish all of you could have been there!

Maybe next year?
