Super Thirft Store Finds

The one good thing about moving to Oxford, AL {ok ok, so there might be more good things, I can already hear Heidi snickering!} is the hugest thrift store I have ever been to.

Meet my BFF: STS (Super Thrift Store)

I kid you not, this thing is like Super-Walmart huge. They have a ton of different things and I never leave empty handed {not necessarily a good thing!} My one pet peeve about the place is that they way over price their furniture. So while I like to look at the furniture it hardly ever gets to come home with me.

• Here are some recent thrifty finds:
• cloche top ($0.75)
  
• pedestal base ($1.75) (I found these in different places within the store. The top doesn't quite fit into the base but that's fine with me)
• a little foam house ($0.25) (for terrarium decor)
• vintage pillowcase ($0.25)
• picture stand ($0.25)
  
• purse, Liz Claibourne ($1.75) (mine is falling apart)
• bag of craft goodies ($1.00)
• large picture frame with glass ($4.00) (more than I really wanted to pay but I had been searching for a while for the perfect size)

The only reason I bought the craft bag was this:

I have fond memories of playing, sifting, looking, and sorting through my mom's button box. So I'm starting my own collection for my kids to play with, and for crafts of course! There were a few other goodies in the bag including orange acrylic craft paint (perfect for Halloween) and tons of ribbon.

That very same day I transformed the cloche (and one I had previously found for $3.50) I gave them a coat of spray on primer then finished them off with 2 coats of Heirloom White Spray paint. I also took the little house off it's base but it's too big for any of my current moss terrariums.
Have you found any recent thrifty treasures?


Happy Thrifting!
