Perfect coffee table for the deck.

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!

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.

I'm back!

Wow, check this out. If this pot could talk the tales we'd hear. I'll have to do a little research to find out more. Share w/me if you have the history on this jem. OK, $6.00 at GW.
Happy hunting. I had a ball in the bin the other night. It was piled high w/ name brand summer shorts, Gap, Banana Republic, J Crew and Ann Taylor. All for $2.29 a piece. My daughter will love them!

Office Art

I hung my new painting at my office today. I had the perfect place plus it looks good w/ the wall color.
Yes, another GW bargain! I love looking through the frames. This item $35.00.

Spring coat!

I couldn't walk by this one. This Sigrid Olson coat was $12.00. A girl's got to have some FUN!

Storage containers

This storage container has handles and is brand new. You can label the front w/ anything you want.It's under $3.00 and that's the cost of a gift bag. The thrift stores are crowded these days but there's always a little treat. There are a few local retail stores that donate new merchandise to GW. Here is just a small example.
