thrifting thursdays and craft fridays...

the girls and i decided to add thrifting thursdays and craft fridays to our summer to-do list...

so, thursdays, we hit the garage sales and my favorite thrift store, valley thrift.

last thursday was the best day yet...just look at all the goodies we found!

the ceiling medallions and frames were only a buck each! and the little wicker shelf was 75 cents.

another find...vintage hankies.
which i turned into this:
our craft fridays consist mostly of me spray-painting things while the girls do some sort of art/craft project. (if it doesn't move, i can and will paint it,)

now the girls have a mail center above their desk...
found this chip & dip bowl for $1.
turned it into lulu's new bed...
one of my favorite finds! my $1 frame (painted, of course) and letters from hobby lobby (50% off last week!).

another favorite find...$1 ceiling medallion. i think i'm going to add more to this wall, but i'm debating on what it should be. pictures? more medallions? hmmm...we'll see.

and i finally used these turquoise tweed fabric from the thrift store to recover our old, grungy, ripped up ottoman.

can't wait til next week!!!
