Decorating with Thrift Store Finds

I love thrifting.  It let's me change up a room frequently and I don't feel guilty about spending money.  I really can't justify spending full price for anything anymore.   Here are some things I found recently.





This soup tureen was $7.99 at the Salvation Army store. It looks antique, but there were no distinguishing markings on the underside, so I'm not sure.  In any case, I love it so it doesn't really matter. It matched my color scheme perfectly and sparked me to re-do my whole display on and over my  antique sewing machine.





This plate was .99 cents at Value Village. 




I added it to the wall display over my antique sewing machine as well.



I got four of these plates at the Salvation Army Store, at .99 cents each.




 There were matching bowls, which I didn't buy and now regret, but they blend nicely with my Mikasa French Country dishes.



This plate was $1.99 at Value Village.



  I used this one to update the display over my bookcase. 


That's all for now.  Happy thrifting!!!!!

  5. You always find the treasures. Why pay full price when you can get it for cheaper? I don't blame you for loving second hand shopping.
