My husband was away last night on a church men's retreat, so I had me a night out at the thrift store. When I got home from work yesterday I decided that I was going to take my weekly trip to the thrift store a day early. I had so much fun because I didn't feel that I had to rush back home. There wasn't alot of "finds" but I was really pleased with what I got. I always look at the wooden things and when I saw these items I knew that I could make them look old with some BLACK spray paint and a little sand paper. I paid $1.48 for each of the wooden items (both candlesticks together). I like old kitchen gadgets and saw the strainer. This one is a little rusty but I loved it. I paid $0.59 for it. My mother used to have one that she used to strain her tea in. She didn't use tea bags....used tea leaves. I can't wait to paint and put them up!
By the way--I stopped by the Dollar Tree and they had white pumpkins....YEA!!!!
All such neat finds and glad you had a good time.
ReplyDeleteI took my white pumpkins and put gel stain on them, then wiped it off and I love them!
Have a great day.

Woot white pumpkins. I think I will try Tomato Creeks idea.
ReplyDeleteSue...What great finds! I used to have a sugar scoop like that...I believe it was Home Interior....should have hung onto it! There's alot of potential in all your wood items! Can't wait to see what they look like when you're done! I always head over to the wood items first at Goodwill!
