A quick trip to the thrift shop on base...
Finds at the thrift shop on base this week...
I grabbed these two bottles just because... the one with the cork is a real pretty teal... and the candle holder thingy is from Home Interiors... and a cake pan to add to my collection, to which my husband will be so thrilled!
These two frames don't have the glass or anything to them, but I liked the detailing and thought they would be pretty painted white and hung on my bare walls...
All the above for $5
Stay tuned for results... I've been busy the past few nights.

A Quick Framed Monogram
I have been checking out all the Monday reinventions from fellow bloggers' weekend thrift finds. I love the monogrammed picture frames.... so I ran back to my craft stash and pulled out a small frame I've had forever. I got it at Wal-Mart for $1.
I dry brushed some red paint on the frame, and then cut out some scrapbook paper, printed out a fancy "T"... tediously cut it out, then glued it to the paper and framed it!
I LOVE IT!
And I put it on my reinvented mirror I did a couple weeks ago!
...and, it literally took me less than 10 minutes!

Weekend Finds and Results
I missed out on Saturday's yard sales, but tried to catch a few Sunday morning. There wasn't much, but I did grab a couple pairs of shorts for my little Addi-bug.
We were running errands to get some last minute items for my daughter's week long camp, so we ran into Ross. I DID find a few ugly signs I could paint while we were there.
The top one was tin, already had a wire hanger on it, and was only $3.99. The DO NOT ENTER is wood, has hangers, and was only $2.99. And I grabbed the little lampshade for $1.50 for that light blue lamp I grabbed the other day. I was thinking of embellishing it somehow.
I spray painted the inside section of the black tin sign with chalkboard paint. Easy Peezy! Done.
These frames I had tried to play with months ago.... what was I thinking? Ugh!
So, I took the glass out of them and spray painted them all white. Not sure where they will go or what will go in them, but they do look a lot better than before!!!
I am trying to finish up my other projects this week before my mom comes on Friday. Then a few days later, hopefully baby will be here! Then there probably won't be much time for crafting or thrifting... (i'm a little sad about that, I've really enjoyed driving around on the weekends looking for great deals) I would LOVE to get my hands on some furniture to redo, but with a big move coming up in a few months, my husband would probably kill me.

Weekend Finds
This week was crazy busy with the kids and VBS... and yet another soccer game today, so I didn't get to hit the yard sales like I wanted. My friend, however, had a HUGE yard sale fundraiser for some missionary friends moving to FIGI, so I did stop by there and see what was there.
I also came across this lamp... no shade, but that's ok. I have seen some cute ideas on blogs that I'd like to try.... I still need to make sure it works too! It's a pretty light blue, but I think I'll paint it white. I don't have any blue in my house.
Then this morning before I headed to the soccer game, I drove past a neighborhood yard sale and found this tray for $0.50...
Then a small pile of brand new or like new baby clothes for $2. Since I don't know what I'm having, I grabbed things for boy or girl! hee hee
I have quite a pile of things to work on out in the garage. I just haven't had the time this week (or the energy) to work on anything. I hope to do a little this week before baby comes!!!
2 giant sconces $0.50 each
