Anyways, fast forward to today and bargains make me almost as happy as spray paint. Combine the two, a bargain needing spray paint, and it is instant euphoria - read about my spray paint problem here. And since I hit up the thrift stores and found some killer bargains, I have a perma-smile on my face right now. Behold what $15 buys:
Let me break it down for you. The large white vase was $4! That's right, $4. I quickly put it under my arm and guarded from any other potential buyers. The woven grass runner was $1 and the antiquing spray paint was also $1. And my favorite find is the black two drawer filing cabinet for $2 which is going to become a coffee station for the kitchen.
The glass ware was $1 each. I don't plan to change anything about the apothecary jar and cake stand, but the other 3 globe-like vases were turned into mercury glass via a DIY knockoff project.
The books were on sale 2 for $1 and the cute little owl book ends were $1 for the set. The little bird was also $1. I plan to spray paint the owls and the little bird gloss white to make them look ceramic.
Yes, I am happy with my finds. And in case you were wondering, my go-to thrift stores are Salvation Army, Habitat Restore, Goodwill, and Savers. I usually find the best treasures at my huge Salvation Army, it is always stop number one.
What are your go-to thirft stores? Do you love to go thrift store trolling?

Swooning over the owls! I never find anything that great.
Woohoo! We recently moved and I've discovered the ReStore, and can't wait to visit the Goodwill tomorrow. Treasure hunting is so fun.

Yet the global economy, there's intense competition for jobs. That is because I have all I want to work late in the day from Geneva. This ultra-portable google laptop only weighs 3. This advertising could cost dollars a day up to thousands a day, 7 days every week.
