Favorite Finds

It's been a while since I've posted my favorite finds.  Here are just a handful from this past week. Out of curiosity, do you even care to see what I find?  I do this more as a log for myself, but I hope that it also gives some of you inspiration.  Please let me know what you think.
Perfect condition and much more rich and vibrant in color than this picture shows.
A new gym bag for  Ro'.  Although this bag is too cool to carry to the gym. (Roman agrees.)
I have a pretty nice collection of antique and vintage frames and this one just might be the star of the bunch.
When I saw this mirror was only $1 I let out a serious squeal.  It's old, worn-out, crusted, rusted, and dinged in all the right places.  The woman who sold it to me insisted I paint it and buy a new mirror for it.  As she put it, "there's a horrible film on the mirror that we couldn't remove. It needs a new mirror unless you want to look splotchy every time you look in it."  Silly woman, this mirror isn't for me to gaze into...it's for me to gaze at.  I LOVE THE FILM!

I hope you all are in the midst of a productive and lovely week.  Have a great day!

  10. Ditto to Fern and Feather, but hullo! I love seeing what other people thrift. I have a theory that we all sort of "curate" our carts according to our tastes. I think you can tell a lot about a person based on what they treasure from the thrift store!
