I Love Thrifting Day Wrap Up

You all know that I had been looking forward
to this past Saturday for 
months!

As you know, it was all organized by
Rashon Carraway of
and Nate Berkus fame.

All around the country groups of people
met up and spent the day doing what we love,
THRIFTING!

The Denver group was hosted by the lovely and funny
Deanna.

 This years event was extra special because we 
were also joined by 
Lisa from

Lisa lives in Arizona but, was visiting family 
in New Mexico and, made the
drive up to Denver to be with us!
She and Deanna are sisters of different mothers!
Both are so full of life!

We were 11  strong!
This photo was taken at our first 
Goodwill stop.
The Stapleton location is a bright and 
shiny new store.
Loved it!
Look how full my cart is!
(Can you guess which one is me??
High five if you can)

The true highlight of the day for me though
was meeting my very good blogging friend Elaine from
Elaine greeted me by saying she just had to give me a hug.
What a sweet and beautiful woman.

Elaine and I share a passion for tablescaping
and it was wonderful to be able to
really talk to someone that "gets" our little misunderstood hobby!

The schedule included 
stops at three local Goodwills and lunch.

I only made it to two of the stops
but you can be sure, I found PLENTY of deals!
Luck would have it that
it was 50% of most items!!

Check back later in the week.
 I will show you EVERYTHING I bought!

Here's a teaser shot for you
I'll also let you know which one is me in the above photo
if you can't figure it out :-) 

Right now, I have to go 
and find room for it all!

Thanks again Rashon, Deanna & Lisa
for hosting such a fun day.
I am already looking forward 
to next year!
#Ilovethrifting!!

I Heart Thrifting Day!

Hey thriftin' buddies
what are your plans for 
Saturday July 7??

Me?

Well I plan to join some 
local thrift fans
for the famous
(you've surely seen Mr. Rashon Carraway
on The Nate Berkus Show)

I Heart Thrifting Day!
 This designer/blogger has started 
a day in honor of thrifting!

This is event went global last year!
There were groups set up
in Canada, England, Australia!
It was so much fun! 
The Denver area group is
being hosted again this year 
by the lovely DeAnna
from the blog

I attended the first one last year
and not only did I find some incredible deals,
like this printer's drawer,

I met some terrific people too!

Even if you are not in the Denver area
keep an eye on
blog for information
regarding meet ups in your city.

Plus, you can go to his
site and order your t-shirt
to wear so that 
everyone knows that you
heart thrifting.

If you ARE in the Denver area
and want to join in
leave a comment on DeeAnna's 

Think about it,
a day of thrifting, lunch
and you get to 
meet other local thrifters 
(like ME)!

Seriously!
I wasn't even a blogger a year ago!
So don't let anything stop you from 
joining in!

Oh and do let me know if you are
going to attend in Denver because,
I really want to meet YOU!
