Some thrifty finds.........

I haven't been hanging out at the thrift stores too much lately.

I know......weird.

Explanation....

There is a chance that we might be moving and the mister has been saying words like "downsizing",  "thinning out", "getting rid of" and "reducing" in regard to our household belongings.

I suppose he thinks because his children are moving out, one by one,

 we don't need so much of everything.

So, in an effort to be a good, and supportive wife,

 I have been controlling the urge to stop at every Goodwill and/or thrift store that I drive by.

However,I did make a quick little stop the other day. I was bored and had a little time to kill. (excuses, excuses)

I didn't find much, but I did find some fun things!!!

I picked up this little bag full of star shower curtain hangers. 

 I needed some for our guest bathroom.

I had some hideous plastic rings on the shower curtain and I knew these little babies were the answer!

AND, they were only $2.99!

 

 Some black spray paint and, TAH DAH!!!

See!?  Sooooo much better.

And someone, who shall remain nameless, (but has the initials C.C.), didn't even notice.

Same day.....I found these patterns.

I almost missed them.

Had I not bent down to look at something else, I would have missed them entirely.

99 cents a piece.

Can you believe that!?

The best thing about these patterns

is that some of them came with the fabric, thread and other necessities!

Seriously...when I find stuff like this, I get a little giddy.  

See how easy it is to finish up a project when someone else does all the preliminary work! :)

These will be so cute in a little bowl for Easter.

Moral of the story-

Find thrifty treasures that are small so that they can be brought into the house virtually undetected.
