I Love Thrifting Day Treasures

So, you read about the fun I had
last weekend at the
I Love Thrifting
gathering here

You also saw my teaser of what I got!
I am pretty certain you want to see more than that!
And more there is!
Come along while I show you my
thrifty treasures!

Our first stop was the new Goodwill
at Stapleton.

This is where most of my bounty was found.
I am always on the look at for unusual
placemats and these caught my eye right away!
Remember, it was 50% off day at all Denver area Goodwills!
I paid $2.00 for four the four of these
woven oval placemats.

Of course, I also like traditional so, I
grabbed up four of these red chargers.
See the original price there from JCP?  $$7.99? 
For plastic?
Um no! $1.00 each to me!
Cheap enough that I plan to spray paint them
as needed for a future tablescape.

My new thrifting best friend, Elaine from
convinced me I needed to get these
metal chargers.
 At 50 cents for four, she clued me in to the fact
that they are even easier to spray paint!
Now THAT'S a thrifting buddy!

Next to jump into my cart were a set of four
Gibson salad plates.
Again, only 50 cents each.
Look for these to be used for a tablescape very soon!
Maybe they will be used with these?
Over sized, off white dinner plates
with a dark tan rim.
I'm not familiar with the mark but,
I think they were sold at Target for period of time.
at $1.00 each, I HAD to have them!

This was probably my most impulsive purchase of the whole day.
I saw it and immediately thought of spray painting it too
and using it for eggs at Easter.
At $2.00 I didn't think it was that bad of a deal until,
the next day Mr. B & I were at the Dollar Tree
and I saw the same exact one for, yeah, a dollar.
Tell me you have made the same mistake
and make me feel better please?

When I saw these, I remembered another tablescaping blogger
saying, you should always think at least one
season or holiday ahead.
Well, I was thinking almost a year ahead.
Are thinking about Cinco De Mayo yet?
 At $4.00 for the pair I am!

The shape and color of this vase had me thinking of Fall.
Or, maybe filled with some daisies from my garden. 
Summer? Spring? Anytime?

When Deana & Lisa saw this in my cart
they both thought it was totally something
from the Young House Love blog.
He will be getting a coat of white spray paint soon.

When I am out thrifting
I always make sure to check out the textiles.
I loved these as soon as I saw them!
$1.50 for a set of four Martha Stewart Living placemats.

Next to hit my cart were these pretty
glass candle holders
$5.00 total for the pair!
I think they could also look cute
with a bacon maple cupcake sitting on them!

I have been on the look out for one of these.
And was very happy to find it for only $1.00!

I think this piece will pair nicely with the placemats shown above.
I forgot to get the price but I think it was $2.50.

That concludes my highs and lows
from the Stapleton Denver Goodwill.

After a carb loading lunch
we headed off to another new Denver Goodwill
at I-25 and Monaco.

There wasn't much that called my name
at this location.
But I think I did okay.

 Again, am I thinking ahead to Fall?
The salad plates and matching bowls were 25 cents each!

And how about some goblets to go with them?
$1.50 each

Okay I know I have a Pin somewhere
of what I want to use these for
but I can't find it right off.
Trust me, it's really pretty.
$4.50 for the triplets.

I think this runner will be really pretty on the buffet
during the winter holidays.
It's got the right amount of sheen to it.
$1.50 to dress up the buffet!

And finally,
what I showed as the teaser
A pair of silver plate
heart shaped candy dishes.
A tad tarnished.
But, at $1.00 each I think they will
clean up nicely!

So there you go!
My 
I Love Thrifting day treasures.
It was an awesome day 
spent with wonderful new friends!

I wish all of you could have been there!
Maybe next year?
