Thrifty Thursday #213

My hubby and I went to an estate sale recently.
Last week I showed you what we got the first day we went.
I insisted that we go back the final day to pick up a few more things
once the "last day" discount started.
I actually had a list of things that I wanted to get if they were still there.
It turned out that several of the items had already sold (an old toolbox and a typewriter)-
both were cool, but I didn't want them at the price that was marked.

Without further ado, here are my finds from day two of the estate sale. . .

How cool is this spool?!?
I love the graphics on it.
I'm going to have my hubby remove the 2x4 from the top.
Then I think we can add a piece of glass and turn it into an end table.

Don't you just love the graphics?
It was originally $25, but I got it 40% off, so I paid $15 for it.
My hubby loves that it still has the rope on it. He's hoping to put that to use.

I also picked up these baby booties.
There were a total of four pairs.

I've seen different projects using vintage booties on Pinterest and I can't wait to try some of them.

I got all four pairs for $9.

That's it. A pretty good haul for two days, I think.

Thanks for stopping by and God bless.

The Lord is merciful and gracious,

 slow to anger, 

and abounding in mercy.

Thrifty Thursday #198

I had a delightful time at the thrift stores this week.

First off, one of them was having a book sale-12 books for a dollar!

That's even better than last week's sale of 2 for a quarter (both at different stores).

There's one other reason why I was so excited.

And it's this. . .

beautifully, awesome vintage milk crate.

How much do you love this thing?

It was a splurge purchase as it cost $25.

That's a reasonable price for the crate, but I felt it should have been cheaper at a thrift store.

Here are the books I got. .  .

They're mostly old textbooks.

 I'll use the covers to make Junk Journals.

I also got some self help books for my brother,

a few books for my hubby,

some books for me,

some kids' books for the church nursery,

and a couple of new Bibles for my Sunday School class.

$3 for all kinds of books.

Whoo-wee!

I hope you stumble across an awesome find this weekend.

Thanks for stopping by and God bless.

Trust in Him at all times, you people;

pour out your heart before Him;

God is a refuge for us.

Psalm 62:8
