thrify thursday.

this past saturday, i explored my new town
by hitting up some local garage sales..
well, i explored 3 towns and an army base.

taking only $40 with me,
i was hoping to find some treasure.

now, it started off ugly.
every garage sale was a let down,
a drive by,
a waste of gas and lost time.
but i bit my lip and trudged on.

from 7:30AM until i got home at 5PM,
$20 down and a car full of stuff!
(ok, all $40 but the hubs claimed the other $20)

first off, i got these pretty turquoise placemats
for only one-whoppin'-dollar!
brand new might i add.
see the little candle stick my centerpiece is sitting on?
$1 at another garage sale!

at the same garage sale,

i got this chair for $3!

now, it is missing a support bar,
but thats ok..
it serves it's purpose as decorating my kitchen :)
{and yes that's my table centerpiece and it's only there for prettiness}

at another garage sale i came across this..

which is exactly what i was looking for,

but wasn't looking for.

i knew i wanted a globe or maps

for little mans room,

but had no luck at finding any..

until now.

see, his room is airplane themed

and this makes a perfect addition to it!

also, only $3!

next, i grabbed this little guy.

kinda a sight for sore eye right now,

but we are in the midst of sanding it down

and prepping it for it's new life in the Smith household.

this? just $3!

at our very last garage sale of the day,

we scored this homemade doll bed..

homemade sheets, pillowcase, mattress, and pillow!

all for just $6.

it'll soon get a new coat of paint

and new sheets to match..

but it's being loved as is for now.

and to make it a grand total of $20,

there was a candle warmer for $1 

and a some clothes for the little people for just 2 bucks!

looking forward to another saturday

full of garage sales and thrift shops :)

happy thriftin' y'all!
