This Week's Thrifty Treasures

Here's a little secret...I have a "thing" for lots of things.

One of them is vintage picnic baskets. 

Maybe I'll post about my collection sometime, 

but for today I'll show you my latest find for only 3 bucks.

Most of my others are natural wicker, but this one is red. 

Below is an embroidered piece someone never got around to framing or sewing.

It cost .50c. I think I'll make it into a pillow. 

Another .50c find was this little container of vintage beads...

I have a bead obsession. 

I take them apart and make jewelry with them. 

Keeping the .50c find thing going,

how about this little casette box?

I think it will be cute painted white or even aqua or red. 

It will most likely hold something besides cassettes.

I think this little thingy is supposed to hold mugs. 

I may try it as a necklace holder or something like that. 

Of course, it will be painted white. 

These will also be painted white - as cute as they are...

They were only .25c each. I have a couple of other miniature houses 

I just painted white a while back. They'll make a sweet little neighborhood.

My next things are already white. 

Nothing required except a little washing.

This is not old - but I like the sweet details on it. 

This niche is also sweet - this is about as sweet as I can comfortably go. 

I'll have a few details in my guest room that work with this. 

Now, I'm wondering what to put inside it...

Here are a couple more milk glass pieces. 

Can you guess what the piece on the left is?

Here's another hint:

Yep. It is a light globe. 

I'm going to keep collecting these milk glass things 

when I find them for .25 - .50c each. 

I have plans, you see. I want to make one of these:

Word for the Day:

Isaiah 33:5-6

⁵ The LORD is exalted, for he dwells on high; 
   he will fill Zion with justice and righteousness. 
⁶ He will be the sure foundation for your times, 
   a rich store of salvation and wisdom and knowledge; 
   the fear of the LORD is the key to this treasure.

May you find the best treasures along your path this week!
