I have had some pretty good luck at the thrifts these past few weeks if I don't say so myself. I haven't been very good about sharing my scores with you so here's a little look at just a couple of the things I picked up.

I found this old quilt at an estate sale a couple of weeks ago. I have been looking for quite some time but haven't wanted to spend more than twenty or thirty bucks on one and if you've ever shopped for quilts you know that is very hard to come by. It needs a little mending and is super soft, I was almost too scared to ask how much but when the lady asked if I could do $10 I eagerly said yes!

The vintage suitcase was found at the Goodwill a couple of weeks ago as well. I usually hit up the Friday before half price Saturday because they fill the sale floor to the brim in anticipation of huge sales. Yes, I end up paying full price but I get first chance at little treasures such as this for only $6.00!

The crewel piece I found this past Saturday at Goodwill on half off Saturday. It is in mint condition no discoloration, smell ect... I love the detail in the girls dresses and God willing if I ever have a daughter this will be perfect for her nursery!

Did anyone else find anything good this week thrifting? I would love to hear about it...

Project ReStyle...

Remember last week when I showed you this project in the works?

Well look how handsome he is with a fresh coat of paint! I told the Mister that there was a taqueria around here that was mighty jealous of my little rooster friend...

See the little owl there on the right with his fresh coat of paint? It certainly is AMAZING what a little spray paint can do for something unwanted at the thrift store, ahh new life for a once loved piece...

I can't wait to find a little desk for this nook in my studio...soon I will be wrapping orders and blogging right here under my most favorite collection!

A Project ReStyle Sneek Peek...

Just so you know...this is what I was up to last night. Giving these little crewel pieces of art a much needed face lift. I love bringing old discarded things to life and back to the modern world. Spray paint is such a magical thing people...just sayin!

Hopefully Friday I can show you these lovelys up on my studio wall with all of my other happily rescued crewel pieces. The one thing I have learned about spray painting here in the South Texas humidity is patience, waiting for the paint to thoroughly dry before adding additional coats or hanging is a must!
