Thrifty Life Thursday #38 with Features from Last Week


A few weeks ago, I found out from Linda at Itsy Bits and Pieces that I had won a canvas with the photo of my choice from easycanvasprints.com!

It was hard to decide what sort of image I wanted to print...but I did a little online research and decided that this image would work well in my living room revision. 

It is a study of bird wings by Leonardo da Vinci. I look forward to using it with some thrift store finds in a grouping above my "Gustavian" desk. I hope to show you this weekend.

Thank you, Linda, and easycanvasprints.com! I love my canvas print.

Thank you to all the link-partiers this week! I love to see your treasures, and must fight the urge to run to the nearest thrift store.

Features from last week include...



Brooke from Creative Country Mom shared a creative use of a vintage zinc scoop - a planter for a cactus! She has other great ideas, too. Check her out!


Meg from My Vintage Life shared a new wall of lovely white shelving, which just so happens to be filled with amazing vintage finds. I love the way she displayed her vintage books...by color. 


Tuula from The Thrifty Rebel found the pretty shelf above, and a number of other things, thrifting a couple of hours per week at lunch time. Love the design on that shelf!

Have a thrifty week!

THRIFTY LIFE THURSDAY #38

Gathering Guidelines:

This is a gathering for people who enjoy hunting for treasures 
that may have previous experience or lived a former life elsewhere. 

Please share items that are second-hand or are composed of second-hand materials.

Types of Posts to Share:
    • Home decor, furniture, collectibles, garden items and even wearables are welcome, as long as they have a second-hand element.
    • Please, no food items, new pieces from "real" stores, or crafts, unless made with upcycled, thrifty finds.
    • Hand-me-downs and curbside finds are welcome, as are items found in thrift stores, garage sales, antique shops, flea markets and other interesting places.
    • Treasures may be listed as you found them, or with your updates, tweaks, and re-purposes; befores and afters are both welcome.
    • Items need not be "vintage" but must be pre-owned or second hand.
    • Posts including Etsy and other shop links are welcome! For visitor enjoyment, please link to your blog post, not directly to your Etsy shop. 
    Etiquette:
      • Though it is not a requirement, it would be lovely if you would follow Revisionary Life  via Blogger, Bloglovin' or subscribe via email. Links are located in my sidebar to the right.
      • Please link your post (not your blog address) back to Revisionary Life.             
      • Please visit at least one other party friend.
      • I'd love for you to comment and introduce yourself if we've never met before. :) Otherwise, don't feel obligated to leave a comment. 
      Features:
      • Featured items must meet the criteria above. 
      • Only posts that link back may be featured.
      • I will try to leave a comment or email you and let you know if you were featured!

      Word for the Day:
      Hebrews 10:24-25
      24
       And let us consider how to stir up one another to love and good works, 
      25 not neglecting to meet together, as is the habit of some, 
      but encouraging one another, and all the more as you see 
      the Day drawing near.

      4. Revi,

        i just realized that these darn pumpkins are not second hand.....well, technically they can be right?

        Sorry! I've been working on them as if they were old pumpkins from the attic!
