Thrifty Saturday Finds

I thought it would be fun to share some of my thrift store finds on Saturdays. Here is what I found today.

 I love finding children's books at the thrift store. All of these are in almost perfect condition. I got all 7 books for $5.25  :)

I've had the heart straw wreath for a while now which I got for one dollar. :) I also snatched up the red and pink sweater today for 3 bucks each. I have a project for these three objects that I hope to share with you soon. 

Total: $11.25

What are some great finds you've found lately?

Spray Paint Project #1

I wear lots of post earrings. But I always loose them. I bought a earring holder for Christmas but it was hard to put the stud earrings on there and I just wouldn't do it. 

I went to D.I. to look for a old muffin tin and candlestick holder and found this instead.

The Before:

 It was perfect! Just what I needed. The best part? It was only $1.50! I brought it home and promptly cleaned it up. I thought I would just leave it as is but after a while the shiny silver bothered me. So I decided to spray paint it!

 I took it apart and started painting. 

 I used Krylon Peekaboo Blue and Bright White.

The After:

I had so much fun using spray paint. I might have gotten a bit carried away and spray painted a bunch of stuff. :) This is so much better than lost earrings and I love the blue and white contrast. Make sure to come back tomorrow to see what else I spray painted.
