And I’ll say it again. I have thrifting angels who are looking out for me. And last week, during a ruitine “Family Day” at the Salvation Army, I saw this pretty. Phil went back that night, and lucky for us, it was still there! Upholstery in great condition and everything!

I think it would be so cool to furnish my entire house (well, mostly anyway) with thrift store finds. It would take years and years of searching… but it’s so worth having something in your home that you totally love, and definitely would’ve paid hundreds of dollars for, and to know that you got it for a steal. Can I get an amen?

Oh, and speaking of amazingness, The Art is Found prompt goes up tomorrow, hopefully! I know it was supposed to be Monday…. but you’ll just have to be patient. We had awesome participation this time around, and a guest I’m sure you’ll all love!

I’m up on the SIStv Catwalk this week… but the best part of it was that Amber Ulmer picked my mini. hehe  I admire her so it meant a lot.

Went thrifting…
found some stuff…
wish I had found more!
But it was a fun (and more importantly CHEAP) adventure.

The doiles I had in mind to use in a future project. The tablecloth- too lovely and cheap to pass up!  The scarf- I ALWAYS find lovely scarfs (my fortune in life I suppose).  The frames- well, I just always like to pick them up whenever I see them for a fetching price.
I always seem to acquire a lot of frames in my closet.  But I know for sure that (at least the white one) I have a specific purpose in mind this time.
I’ve got some lovely green (lime/avocadoish) spray paint to refinish it and then for inside of it, I’ve been searching for the perfect print on Etsy.
I must resist my feminine urges and pick out something that both my brother (the householder) and my husband will like.  If it were up to me, I would pick something from this store.  I know for sure Matt (bro) will like this one, and frankly my dear I don’t think Phil will give a darn.

As usual, I’ve found more than one that I like, and I’m not sure if I want to choose.  I might buy a couple to use with some stashed frames.  Matt’s new house is in need of art.  He likes the eclectic modern look, and I think that with the pretty painted frame and the modern typographic print, it will suit us him just fine.

This was another fave:

The entire print says Be Happier than a Bird with a French Fry.  But isn’t that birdie the cutest?  Hmmm… but not too cute for a man to enjoy hanging on the wall, I hope?  :)
