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!
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.
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?
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.
from the Stapleton Denver Goodwill.
After a carb loading lunch
we headed off to another new Denver Goodwill
at I-25 and Monaco.
at this location.
But I think I did okay.
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?
