The thrill of the thrift

Hello dear Reader. Winter is here and I've been exploring via my sofa. I 'travel' with Rick Steves on PBS and I've been looking at decorating books. I've discovered Selina Lake and got the itch to go thrifting. Luck was on my side when I visited 2 local shops. The prices were so crazy low, I couldn't leave these finds behind. This vase was originally $9, but then it was 75% off! I put an amaryllis in it, which was also on clearance. 

This sweet table cloth had never been used. Saved for who knows when or too good for everyday use. I'm enjoying it and it's $3 price. Below is one of the Selina Lake books I've been enjoying!

Changing up the mantel. I was in need of some flowers for my favorite vase. This faux bunch was only $4 and to my eyes pretty nice for fake flowers.

Gold doodads, $2 for the pair, how could I leave them behind? Not sure what to do with them yet.

And this sweet painting to join my gallery wall, $4 and it was framed. Too bad it's a blurry shot. I think I need to stay away from more bargains, as my house probably can't absorb any more junk/treasures! I can see buying things and trying to resell them in the future maybe.
