Thrift fun in August

Well, I did ease up on my To Do list and allow myself to go bopping around Salvation Army and Hob Lob on Friday as a reward for a successful first week back to school  Check out what I got:

At Hobby Lobby I got the pumpkin, a round fall candle, and some decorative little gourds and pinecones. Then I stopped at a Salvation Army and spent $3 on a cute silver wire basket, the lovely amber colored vase with tiny bubbles in the glass, and the daisy plate.

I cleaned the plate up and used some of the leftover fabric from the girl's room re-do.  Added mod podge, put bumpers on the bottom and now,

it's a pretty catch-all for coins, jewelry, name badge, keys, etc.  I got to use my glitter mod podge, and it adds a little extra sparkle to the plain fabric.  The silver basket is also going in her room, as an "In Box" for mail on her desk.  

Maybe thrifting once a week should be in my regular routine!
