Thrift Store Finds

I love going to thrift stores!  You never know what you are going to find while there.  I may not always by something but there is always so much to see.  Thrift stores are a great place to find things for your DIY projects around the house.  My husband is not a fan of going so I went yesterday while Amelia was taking her nap.  I took a quick trip to the local Goodwill.  (I say quick but on the first Saturday of the month most things in the store are 50% off on that day.)  It was packed.  I wonder around looking at all the things that they had even though I had a purpose for going today. You have to always look around because you never know what you are going to find.  Today, I needed a belt for a dress that I am making and two frames.  I found everything that I was looking for during my visit.  The best part is that I only paid just over $5 for everything that I bought.  The frames need some TLC but that is what I was looking for.  I want to be able to make it my own.  I also found 2 belts - 1 black and 1 colorful one.  I love things that are colorful.  Color always makes things awesome!  I also found an unexpected gift wrap holder for $0.99.  Hopefully I can use this to contain all of the wrapping paper I always insist on having.  I figure you never know when you are going to need to give a quick gift and wrapping paper is a must!  I cannot wait to share with you what I make of these items.  I cannot wait to get started.  I am just giddy ready to do some cheap DIY projects!

I paid $1 for each belt, $0.25 for the small wooden frame, $2 for the large wooden frame and $0.99 for the gift wrap holder.  What great finds!
