Thrifty Tuesdays

Just popped in to show you some of the things I got today. Not a ton of stuff (thankfully!) but some really neat treasures.

 

A wool sweater to make one of these. And the fun yellow vintage fabric is about 2-3 yards and was only $1! I see some sundresses for the wee one in the near future (tonight?).

 

 

I spotted these candlesticks and could tell by the look of the paint that they were some kind of good pottery. I thought maybe they were McCoy but the bottom was marked Cowan. I did some research and this pair sells for between $15-$35 on Ebay. I paid $1!

 

 

I was extremely happy to find this painting. I had been eyeballing a small, less well done painting for a few weeks at the same store. It was $10 and I honestly didn't know if I even wanted to pay that for it. This one was larger and didn't have a price. When I asked the lady how much it was she said $6...and it was half price day! $3?! Woohoo! I know paintings are supposed to go at eye level (right?) but I had another idea for this one.

 

 

We have very high ceilings in our downstairs and the empty space above this vanity in our entry area looked weird. I think this painting really fills up the space nicely. What do you think?
