Thrifty Finds


So sometimes, I just get so excited about thrifting that I have to share! I love finding good deals and keeping my home stylish at the same time! So here's a few items that I've purchased recently:


Cute orange vase from JoAnnes (not really a thrift store, I know, but it was 70% off!).


A velvety pillow for the love seat, GW, $4.99.


2 Paper star garlands for all those parties we will be throwing in the near future! The package said they were made in Bangladesh too! GW $1.00 each.



And finally, the piece de resistance, this lovely frock! Savers, $9.99.

Don't worry too much, I plan to work some sewing magic on it and transform it into something fun and flirty for a ball that we are attending soon. A ball! Eeeee!


So there you have it. A few of the latest thrifty finds around the Marx household. Have you found anything awesome lately? I'd love to hear all about it!

  4. Haha Jane, you are too funny! Yah, it kind of scares me too in it's current form. But, I promise it won't be scary when I'm done!

    Cape on the Corner- It probably sounds fancier than it is, it's a Viennese Ball hosted by a school nearby, but it's going to be a blast! Thanks, I love the orange vase too!

    Holly- For sure, there will be an update veeeerrrry soon, I'm thinking!
