My Christmas wreath was seeming a bit drab. Pretty, but not enough W.O.W.
But luckily the Goodwill fairies were looking out for me. For just 49 pennies more I added a nice Christmas-y touch. I also added in a few more of the ornaments, and after 15 minutes, and hands sparkling worse than a pageant queen's dress, I had this beauty to show off.
D.O.S.
Since I happened upon such a large lot of ornaments I didn't want to see them go to waste. One evening, some white & gold paint, and 2 more glitter covered hands later, I now have these babies to "deck our hall"(less) apartment with.
T.R.E.S. So you all know that I LOVE to thrift. There's something about it that gets my heart singing the happy tunes. You never know what you will find and you can't beat the price tags. Of course, there's always that popular phrase to fall back on too - "your junk is my treasure."
One other thing you should know is that Goodwill is in a program with Target- see.spot.save. Other than resembling my alma mater's volleyball slogan, it means Target donates their slightly damaged, returned and overstock seasonal items to Goodwill who distributes them to all of their locations. And for me, it means my thrifting is a whole lot more rewarding. Welcome home, stockings! :-)
These 2 were Target's last season's rejects and my season's projects. Since we don't have a mantel for them to crown, our bookshelf might be their place to "hang" out. :-)Q.U.A.T.R.O.
Lastly, but certainly not least, these were 3 happy purchases today. I love the colors, shape, and how they reflect the light on the windowsill. For only 47 pennies each, Pretty, Pretty!
Happy weekend.
P.E.A.C.E.
