The seating area is now complete. Sometimes you don't know what you're looking for until you see it. There it was, my coffee table. I wanted it sturdy so I can throw my feet up at the end of the day! It's perfect. I threw on some more stain this AM so it can take the rain. GW, thanks...$20.00. It looks terrific when you add chocolate covered strawberries and a cup of coffee!
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".

Fun on the Deck
The pillows, chargers and candle holder all such fun. The pillows were blue and brand new but I just wanted the forms for $1.39 a piece. I found the indoor/out door fabric at Mill Outlet.Chargers were $2.00 at GW. The vintage candlelabra was cream and now black! I'm loving my black and white this year!

I'm back!
I ran into a "thrift affair" follower today. She asked why no blogs?? I promised to post. Thanks Bea!
My deck furniture (from Craigslist) has now been painted black. It looks great! I decided to start collecting white vases and pitchers. Here's a few finds! The pitcher is an antique, amazing detail, $2.99.
The others were under $3.00 - $8.00....Thank you GW.
