Guest Blogging

Today I’m honored to be guest blogging at Smile and Wave, the inspiring blog of Mrs. Rachel Denbow. Come on over for one my favorite posts I’ve ever written. 7 Rules for the thrifting maven, plus loads of eye candy. See you there!

Thursday’s are for thrifting.

It's not a rule that I've set for myself, just a rule of nature, I suppose.  It seems I've been getting Thursdays off work a lot recently, and so I take advantage of the days by thrifting!  Yesterday I snagged up some lovely pieces of vintage jewelry.

Jewelry

I normally don't purchase jewelry from Goodwill, because they always seem so overpriced.  Why buy a ring for eight dollars when I can buy 4 tops at the Salvation Army for that price?  But these pieces stole my heart.  …And twenty-one of my dollars.

I also picked up a cute yellow bowl.  I dumped Phil's change collection into it, and still had coins leftover.  Really?  I think it's about time he rolls those and takes me out to dinner, don't you?

Change

Oh, and by the way, I'm almost finished redecorating my bedroom.  I'm still deciding whether or not I want to replace the dim Urban Outfitters chandelier that pathetically serves as our main source of light in the evenings.  Oh yes, and curtains.  I need to motivated myself to make some curtains. Oh, and did I tell you?  I have new furniture in my bedroom!  Well… not new, the dresser's are most likely 50 years old.  But they're new to us!  More to come, to be sure.

Today is Wednesday!

Thrifted Light

(In case you didn’t know, Wednesdays are 50% off Family Days at the Salvation Army.)

I love Wednesdays, and am bound to find something at one of the local thrift stores. Last week I found the funkiest hanging light! Right now it’s covered in dust and pink $1.00 stickers, but someday it will be hanging in a breakfast nook in my future home. :)

I think it would go quite well with a set of these chairs and the pillow I snatched up from Jamaica‘s etsy shop, don’t you think?

Jamaica's Pillow

Now if only I had Eero Saarinen’s tulip table, the cozy corner would be complete. Perhaps one day I’ll stumble across one at a thrift store? Impossible? Never know what you’ll find! Anything’s possible.

So, what’s your favorite thrift store decor find?
