I love the Treasure Hunt at thrift stores. I google thrift,charity and consignment stores whenever I travel. Here in Raleigh I sell real estate so I'm all over town. I know where all the stores are located. I run through on a regular basis and just wanted to share. Somethings I re-sell,many I use to stage homes or give them to clients. In this economy it's even more special. I've given speeches on thrifting and coached friends and family on a successful "HUNT".

Beautiful Frames
This photo doesn't do them justice. They are animal prints from London. At first I thought I might just reuse the frames. Double matted and nice silver wood frames for $4.00 a piece. I brought them home and they are perfect in my study. My zebra rug, the animal theme, and now these prints. The room looks great. All for $8.00!

Donation traffic picks up!
Great weekend for a run through at GW! It only takes a few minutes at this busy time of year. My CPA and yours encourages those last minute write offs. Go ahead and drop off your junk and see what you can find. The pasta set of 4 w/ serving bowl, $6.00. The basket is so pretty and great for storage or packing a GIFT, $4.00. The chicken will adorn a kitchen counter, $4.00. There's more but I'm out of time for today esp. if I'm to run through another GW!

Shabby Chic
There are some memories in this photo! Once again this is Ali's town home. She's my oldest daughter. We collected the platter's all over town for a "song". They make quite a statement on that little wall. Two more panels at the window purchased same time as the others.
She found the Chandelier on Durant Rd. and we painted it black one night, her vision! It had to be rewired since it was from the UK.
Her breakfast set she found on Craigslist. The rug I found at GW. She's so happy w/ the look and I cherish the memories
