call these wonderful shopping mecas, the good finds are abundant.
You might remember a few posts back where I started going crazy with the fleur-de-lis motif. Well, I'm still puttin them all over everything!
Found the cup and the soap dispenser for $2. each,
added yet another flourish and now I have a set!
The box was brown, so I gave it some white paint and added a
you know what.
The two hammered silver spoons were 75 cents each
One of those boring wooden boxes
beautifully transformed......
Painted some blah wooden coat hangers and
prettied em up!
Family Room sofa loaded down with pillows
and my latest creation the burlap Paris fleamarket
pillow. It's going to my booth.
Ok, that's it for today.
Have you found any goodies to show me?
If not, you better get out there before its all gone.
Then be sure and show us what you found.
um, maybe I should host a "I found it for a bargain
day!"

Imagine the mess I made reading today's post!
Such lovely thriftiques!! Today I get my final crown so I'm going to stop off at the Dollar Store and the Discovery Shop on my way home and see if I can find any bargains . . . . Last week I found a fab shabby chic frame for $3.00!

Ok, I really do need to start posting what I find. You have encouraged me. Yes, you need to host a "I found it for a bargain day". I'll be there!
I just love how you added the fleur de lis to all of your great white finds! Your really got some great things and I love the burlap pillow. Wish I lived closer to shop your booth. I'll look for you next time I nearby at the beach!
Oh Sissie Sweetie...
I so love to come and see what you have found this time. What bargains. Dang it I sure wish we lived close by, we would get into so much trouble together. I love the box prettied up and the hangers are just so dang cute. I love it.
Ofcourse I love your fleur-de-lis creations. They are so beautiful. I need to find some of those darn appliques, as they look so pretty on your white.
Pillows, love them. Can never have to many pillows. I have them in almost every room in the house.
Thriftiques - I love this word. So precious. Works for me.
By all means, I think you should host I found it for a bargain. What fun would that be.
Country hugs sweetie and much love...Sherry
Fabulous finds!! I really like what you did with the divided white box! How did you get the fleurish to look aged like that? Great technique!
The paris flea market pillow has my name all over it!! Do you ever sell those on-line?
Great post!!

Hello Sissie! So nice to meet you :) I found out about your blog over at Ms. R's at A Gathering of Thoughts. You have such a lovely blog, and I love your wonderful Thrifty finds. I love to shop those "Thrift Boutiques" myself. Sometimes I find wonderful treasures, and sometimes I leave empty-handed. You just never know what you might find at them. There are 3 different Goodwill stores I like to frequent. Love your giveaway you are having. Please enter my name in it (though I have never been lucky enough to win one yet :( ) I'll be becoming a follower too!! Again, it is so nice to meet you! Warmest, Brenda (shabbycatsandroses)
Thriftiques! I am so with you on that one! Love your finds and your ways of making the boring so beautiful. I would join in with found it for a bargain!

Hi
Every thing looks wonderful...love love love the pillows especially the burlap Paris pillow
Blessings
Man oh man you are goooood! I can't believe what you unearth when you go thrifting Sissie. Maybe you would consider being my personal shopper? Oh, I thought not.lol
hugs
Your pillows are so beautiful! I say you can never have too many throw pillows. I love what you did with all your 2nd hand treasures, where do you get the flourishes you add to them? They really make the pieces and help tie them all together!
Hi, Sissie,
You are finding some great thriftiques!!! I think the added fleur de lis are perfect, too. I always enjoy visiting you to see what pretties you will have to show us. I hope you are having a lovely week, my friend. Sending much love your way! Vicki
You found some great stuff and I love love love your pillows.
I have not had a great amount of luck at Goodwill recently. I have two that I frequent often and have been disappointed as I walk out of the doors with little or nothing.
Love everything and I don't blame you one bit for putting that cute fleur de lis on lots of stuff! I may have to try it too!
I love your new word. Soooo chic! And your finds are wonderful. What a good idea with the wooden hangers. What kind of paint do you use so it won't rub off on the clothes? Or, is that a dumb question?

AAh I love it all esp. the fleur-de-lis "stuff" :D
I have to say that I am so going to use your "Thriftiques"!!!! I will get credit to you ....maybe you should copyright it. Thanks for your kind comments about my name change. I did it. I am now A conversation at Goodwill. I like the sound of that. You don't have to do a thing. It will already show as this new name under sites that you have joined. It was a low tech way of doing things, kind of like switching out a photo in the banner under layout, but it worked. Thanks again.
Sheesh, you're an expert at finding, and making, beautiful things!!!
Your burlap Paris pillow is perfection!!!
:) T
sissy, since you obviously have WAY TOO MUCH talent for one gal, have you thought about putting all that EXTRA talent in bottles and selling it??? LOL. girl, you got it goin' on! everything is PERfect. :)
Sissie you do have the eye for great buys. I love stopping by here and seeing your goodies.
I will be having another Temptation Monday if you want to list anything for sale just send me an email and what you want to list

Everything is so pretty! I love your style. I get on kicks as well, when I find a color, motif, or look I really like.

Good stuff there!
All my thrifty treasures I've shared in the past couple of days on my blog. I've been hit with the flu, so no treasure hunting for me this week. :-(

You have some wonderful finds. I've learned that we don't even have garage sales where I live. *sigh* Apparently, I am the only treasure seeker. *double sigh*
