Goodwill Finds!!!

I recently (recently being within the last several weeks) discovered thrift stores... & might I add... I am in LOVE!!! I wanna go everyday just to see what new things are out... ha ha But now I hunt for different thrift stores, resale shops everywhere I go!!! But I always find things that are hideous and I believe I can turn it into something I will use to decorate my new but empty house... lol



I plan on putting this in my foyer for our mail... I have been wanting something similar for the mail! & for only $1.99 you can't beat that... Just slap a coat of paint & PRESTO!!! Soon I will post the completed job



I couldn't pass these up... Being our last name is Cooling and they were only $.49 a piece I had to get them... Not sure what I will use them for but I know it will be something creative.

  16. Ok baby girl....I love your finds...my craftiness is just whirling. The mailer would be great done up in some modge podge paper pieces to match your furntiure or better yet in paper that is contrasting to give the room some flare! Just pick some neat scrapbooking paper, modge podge it up and add a ruffle or feather trim hot glued on to the edge some cricut letters done in vinyl and your good to go.

    As for your letters...I would recommend a large ribbon wreath done like my summer one, in colors to coordinate your home of course and then the c painted in a bold color hanging from the center of it!!! That would be cute for your front door....also you could take the other one and paint it and add a few small hooks and make it a key holder for your doorway or an oven mit holder to hang in your kitchen....the possibilities are endless.

    Also--- I am envoius of your blog!!! I want one too!!! HELP!! I love you baby girl!!
