Today's Thrifty Treasures


These are my finds at the Goodwill store on Saturday. I think it turned out to be a pretty good haul myself. The cake stand was only 1.00, which I think I will paint black and find a cloche to go on top of it. The heart and dove napkins rings were only 1.00. The green wire basket was 2.00. The little black lantern was 1.00 and this 20 piece silverware set was on 4.00. I thought I might do a 4th of July table setting with them.

  2. Gina, My favorite of your finds is the wire basket simply because I love wire-ware. Your silverware was a real bargain at $4 and will help make a great tablescape for the upcoming holiday. :-) Sue

  3. Great finds. I love the little basket, I've been hunting for something to do an arrangement on the front porch. Your basket is perfect. The silverware set is so unusual. Love it. Cake stand, lantern and napkin rings are super finds. I think you did good. Hugs, Marty

  5. Hi Gina,
    I like your idea of painting the cake stand black it will look great with a cloche on it! The green wire basket is also very cute. GW shut down in my area but we have Salvation Army, which is a fun place to find bargains. Have a wonderful day. ~Cathy~

  6. Gina,
    You really made out well! I like the wire basket and the cake stand the best because I can imagine what you could do with them. I stopped at Good Will last week, but left empty handed. Maybe next time there will be something good!

  10. Don't you just love finding some great finds at a good deal? You found some wonderful things! I really like to go to garage sales this time of year, and find so many treasures...I never thought to do a post about it. I found a wire rack similar to your find, and spray painted it and use it in my art room. I just love it!
