Thrifty Things Friday #118

Join Diann and I and link up your post HERE

During my move I'm sending more to the Thrift Shops then I'm bringing home...

thank goodness! 

BUT...
of course I have found some things for my new place!

I really needed chairs for my dining room table and look at this!  I found four of these amazing chairs at the Project Safe House thrift shop!

Look at the backs!   

They are pretty old and have had some repair done to them but they are sturdy and comfortable!

I took the thrift my four ladder back chairs and brought these home!  I love them!

I paid $35 and felt like this was a super bargain!

This thrift store is my favorite one in Athens, GA.

I donate to them and purchase from them often.  They have great prices and the money supports a great cause 'working to end domestic violance'

So I love spending my money here!

I also found these cute glasses at another thrift shop

Just some random glasses that caught my eye! 

Less then $1.50 for all! 

I hope you will go over to 

The Thrifty Groove and link up you posts!

I can't wait to see what you have to share this week!

Wishing you JOY,

Linda

Features from TTF #117

Once again Diann and I are so thankful for all of you who join us for Thrifty Things Friday!

This week I had a hard time choosing but these two are a couple of favorites

Lynda Bergman Design shared a wonderful way to capture memories with this charming shadowbox.

She kept sand from her daughter's first sandbox and this photo to create a lasting memory!

Land of EnCraftment found some really thrifty things to share with us, but this stunning cabinet was my favorite!

I can just imagine this filled with all my treasures! 

Thank you ladies!  Grab an "I was featured" button for your blog if you wish! 

So now hop on over to see Diann's favorites this week and we will see you tomorrow for

Thrifty Things Friday!

A Bargain

Something is only a bargain if you really need it or really LOVE it!

Recently I shared a bargain I found for my new home

I bought this at Hobby Lobby for 80% off and was excited because the colors were right, it had the Eiffel Tower, french words and Paris on it! 

Perfect!  Except it wasn't! 

I love the pillows which were also a bargain...love them!  No hesitation, no second guessing my choice....but the wall art...hmmmmmm

I wanted to love it but somehow I didn't!

I think it's too big for my room and the dark center feels like a black hole somehow!  So today I returned it!  Whew...I'm glad I did.  

Because a bargain isn't a bargain if you don't love it!

The right thing will come along and when it does I'll know it and I'll love it! 

I am settling in here and finding this 2 bedroom duplex just perfect for me.  I adore being closer to my daughter, SIL and of course Tiger! 

Tiger recently spent a few hours here with me while his Mom and Dad did some chores at their house.  We played and of course he had to 'eat'!

I think he is in a growth spurt again!

After lunch we had a treat!  Grandma has these little tiny ice cream cones that are 'Tiger' size!

Yummy Grandma!

Want a bite??? 

I'm joining these parties!

You're Gonna Love It

Wishing You A 'Ducky' Day

Saturday, between rain showers, I went to the park with Tiger and his Mama! 

 As we took a walk around the pond we saw the ducks!

Hello Mr. Duck!

With so much rain the pond was very muddy and the ducks were all out of the water!

We had a lot of fun and made it home before the next rain shower started!  

Tiger and I are wishing you a 

very 'ducky' day!

**I know so many of you are praying for rain and I sure wish we could send some your way!**

Thrifty Things Friday #117

I showed you my new sofa the other day. I'm so excited about having a new look for my living room.  I've got a small decorating budget using some birthday money.  I know I don't have to do it all at once, but I would like to get a little style going!

This pillow has been my 'dream style' for awhile.  I bought this when Judy at 20 North Ora had it on sale in her Etsy shop.  I love it!  So when sofa shopping I had it in mind.

And it looks fabulous on the new sofa but of course I need more stuff!

Yesterday I popped into Hobby Lobby just to look!  Well LOOK what I found!  On clearance for 80% off!  WOW!   Makes it in my price range.

It has the wonderful french script, a beautiful red Eiffel Tower and of course it says Paris!

What's not to love, and only $20

I also found these pillows at Big Lots for 1/2 price! 

Two really cute pillows for $12 (that's only $6 each)!

It adds another touch of the red!

I am pretty happy with both items! 

Now to figure out what else to add to the wall with the painting.  I was thinking plate rack or something black and scrollie???  Ideas??

Of course whatever I find has to be thrifty! 

Be sure to hop over to Diann's and see what other thrifty things are happening today!

I'm also joining Jann at Share Your Cup
