I bought this a while back I have finally gotten around to painting it berry pink. I bought these 4 crystal knobs at Target last year on clearance for $4.48. The whole thing was less than 10 dollars. Ta-daaaa I am very happy with the finished product.....tickled pink!! This will go in my scrap room. I am still rearranging and trying to make things right in my room. I'll post pics when I am done.

At GW I found a diploma frame brand new originally $35 I got it for $3.99, another friend frame for $1.99, a Brighton eyeglass holder for $.99, 2 sets of sheer curtains one pink the other white for $1.99 each, a VHS Home alone movie $.50, little shoes for Juliana all for $1.49, and a sign for $.99. Not to bad now head on over to Rhoda's for the thrift party she throws once a week. Have a blessed week. Oh I am not sure if I will possibly paint the chair or reupholster it. The latter scares me a bit :)

I had a pretty good week at Goodwill. I found a shelf 99 cents, baby wash clothes brand new 99 cents, a Cabbage Patch newborn 99 cents, teacher frame 99 cents and my fave find of the week Marc Ecko purse 3.99. Oh also this cork board that was cherry looking wood I painted this blue for my niece Gaby and added some bling to it. It cost 1.49.
I went to one yard sale. Bought this t-shirt with a crown and bling (my fave) for 5 bucks!!! It was brand new. She had lots of brand new stuff for clearance prices. She said her parents own Cub Drug in Olney, Tx and they have her throw a yard sale once in awhile. The sale tag was over the original one and the shirt was priced for 35 dollars. Wow!!!

So join the fun at Rhoda's party.
