Treasure Hunting Last Week

We are updating our guest bathroom and have painted the walls a calming, light blue. The paint is OOPS paint from Home Depot. It was a great deal. $5 for a gallon of Behr Premium Plus paint and primer in one!!

I needed a new shower curtain and this one is SO FUN and a perfect match to the paint color. A great Salvation Army find for $5!! The shower curtain hooks were BRAND NEW from a garage sale last summer for $1 ! 

On Friday my girls and I went to Cari Cucksey's, RePurpose Estate Sale in Northville. They were filming for Season 2 of Cash and Cari. 

- our treasures - 

oval mirror, decanter and glass set,

ADORABLE lemon salt and pepper shakers,

petite accent vase,

and a UNIQUE set of 18 connected vases.

I CANNOT WAIT to fill each vase with spring flowers for a centerpiece! 

It was a FABULOUS week. Cannot wait to see what we find this week!!!!

I am still debating on the table I found on Craigslist. We took a look at it in person. It's a nice, oval, oak table. But I am thinking I want a rectangle table. Hmmmmm.....

Thirsty Thursday!

Another trip to Salvation Army today! This week is 50% off yellow tags. So I scanned the shelves for the yellow stickers. I found this set of 6 glasses. They are sturdy and simple. The price was $8.99 for 6 (then 50% off) = $4.50. The sticker on all the glasses reads "Schott Zwiesel Made in Germany". Since this label is still intact on all 6 glasses I am guessing they haven't been used.

I researched Schott Zwiesel online and this style is called "Paris" and they are listed at $9 per glass!

$4.50 vs. $54.00 

There are some great deals out there! 

Cheers!

My favorites this week!

2 books which I love for their clever titles "Treasures" and "The Collectors".

 I felt drawn to these books!

20 cents each at Salvation Army on Thursday.  

2 new muffin tins for $2 each from an estate sale on Thursday.

2 fabulous wooden signs for $7 total from an estate sale on Friday. 

Which happened to be a RePurpose Estate Sale where they were filming for 

Season 2 of "Cash and Cari" which will start in JULY 2011 on HGTV !

And I celebrated my birthday on Wednesday!! It was a GREAT week!

Happy Valentines Day

love love love

My recent Salvation Army treasure! This cake plate is 12 inches across and it was only $2.99!!

I added the ribbon. I could bake some sweet treats to put on here or I could even use it as a memo board!!! A dry erase marker to write a special message!

Desk for My Daughter

I found this great desk with a hutch at Salvation Army for $35. I sanded the whole thing and painted it white. But it is not finished. It needs to be sanded and painted again and a sealer to finish it off. I can't wait to get it finished and put it in my daughter's room. Oh, and I need to find new hardware for the drawers.

$20 at Salvation Army UPDATE

FLOWERS! in my new planter!
