Thrifty finds

This past weekend I was able to do a bit of thrift shopping and I found some great deals.  I don’t think I’ve found this much thrifty stuff in a long time.

My finds…

I found three matching gold frames that I quickly added a first coat of paint on them to bring out their features.

I love the details all around these frames.

I’m undecided if I should make them into corkboards or sell them as they are.

What do you think?

This metal frame has a perfect patina on it already.

I thought this basket would be a great storage space for some of my handmade greeting cards.

Only after I got home and reread the tag did I realize that I left part of this easel at the store.  It had a faux open bible displayed on it.  I thought I saw a tag on the bible so thought the easel was a separate piece.  Oops.  Well the shop has one more thing to sell, I only wanted the easel the book was hiding anyway.

This was a faux wood color when I got it.  It still needs a final coat of white and some glaze to bring out its lovely details.

I’m thinking I might try to keep this as a clock if it works but it definatly needs a color makeover.  I can’t decide if I should go aqua, pink, or maybe a buttery yellow.

This display might just be a new piece for my craft to help me organize my supplies.  That is if I can manage to find some wall space to hang it on.

      

I can’t wait to get all of these items cleaned, painted and revamped to show off their great new looks.
