The past few weeks have been so hectic that I haven't had time to finish a sentence, much less a project. {For example, the tile floors in the master bathroom are one step away from being finished... and I am going to get to that last step this week, cross my heart.} So I thought it would be fun to find a mini-project that I know I can finish in one sitting... just my way of getting back into the
Girl Meets Home groove!
I found myself on
TheThriftShopper, a website dedicated to helping you be as
thrifty as possible. You can search for thrift stores near you by entering your zip code or address. I mapped out a few stops and came home with a trunk full of goodies.
The first stop was Goodwill where I found:
Wood jewelry box, $1.99
Set of matching glass coffee mugs, $.79 each
Decorative mirror, $3.99
Iron bench, $10.00
Next, I went to a Good Shepard Alliance thrift store. I didn't have as much luck there but I did walk out with this:
White footed serving bowl, $3.00
I have a few ideas in mind for some of my finds... including a solution to one of my bad habits. And the rest of my finds have a new life, one man's trash really is another man's treasure (or woman's).

Great finds and a great tip! I'll have to check out my local thrift stores this weekend! Love the lines on the bench...could totally see the base painted black and the cushio recovered in a white linen or b/w print :-)
