Hello & Happy New Year! Hope you all are doing well and had a wonderful holiday.

I’m sharing my first post & thrift haul of 2025! I get so excited to share when I find things I love. I love a good haul, lol.

I love collecting white Corningware baking dishes! This one was in great condition and is the perfect size for a small casserole or serving dish. Then I found this cute little terra cotta house, I figured I can repaint it and turn it into a little gingerbread house for Christmas. I snagged a fun tassel beaded necklace, a Harry Potter themed velvet stocking, a brass reindeer tealight holder, and a little cozy manor house figurine for my bookshelf.

Another fun thing to collect are these glass cloches. I always get them in different sizes when the price is right to use in my decor. I will find a cute pan or cake stand and place these on top for a fun, whimsical display.

Here are the last few items I found. The cute little wooden storage boxes will go perfectly in my sewing room for buttons, etc. I loved this little welcome sign & it was only $1 so I had to get it.

I was so excited when I saw this Toile print lampshade and priced at only $5! The print is so pretty, and I love that it is in a neutral color. I want to add a lamp to my sewing room so I’m on the hunt for a little base now.

This was a good thrift shop day and I’m happy with all my goodies I found. I can’t wait to get started on my mini projects. Hope you enjoyed my little haul, and hope you find some treasures too!

Hello friends! OMG, it has been a minute since my last post. I’m back today to share my goodies from one of my very favorite things to do…thrift shop!

You never know what you’re going to find. I just love finding inexpensive, one of a kind decor pieces and mixing them in with some of my newer items. Scroll down below to see what I scored and how I styled some of the pieces.

I loved this sign. So clean and pretty! Goes along with my modern farmhouse vibes I have going on in my home. I have yet to decide on a place for it but for $5.00 I couldn’t pass it up. It’s from the Ashland Collection at Michael’s.

This actually had an At Home tag still on it. Don’t know what it is but I loved the shape and metal texture. I think it is some sort of outdoor decor. I thought this is so fun and unique. I don’t have anything like it, so it definitely came home with me.

This banana hanger/fruit basket combo was in really good shape, and I have been wanting one, so I brought this home too. Made a nice little spot for it here on the counter. It’s full of clementines and bananas now!

You can always find some good baskets at the thrift stores for a really great price. I found this pretty woven basket and put it here alongside my tub to hold all my bath salts, scrubs, & sponges. Very calming and spa like.

Lastly, the star of the pick…this brass globe! How cool right? I added it to my sofa table along with the metal silver piece I showed you earlier, & a faux plant I also thrifted. It all comes together nicely here. Super happy with my finds and looking forward to my next trip!

Hope you enjoyed seeing some of my treasures. Let me know if you love thrifting as much as I do!

Hello friends, and welcome back!

I scored lots of goodies on my latest thrifting adventure, so I thought I’d share them here with you all!

I have a bunch of stickers for scrapbooking/card making and the black card catalog is perfect storage for them. I love decorating with pumpkins in the Fall and was happy to find this cute set to add to my collection. Can we talk about this brown suede fringed bag? So cute! It was in mint condition so I had to have it! I picked up a few old linens to use for table runners/covers. They are worn in and so soft. I have a thing for baskets/trays and wood pieces!! I can’t help it, they bring so much texture & warmth into your decor. It’s currently being used as a bed tray now. I loved the look & texture of the last piece, so I think I may hang it in my bedroom gallery wall or our travel trailer. I haven’t decided yet!

I found this awesome throw for our travel trailer for $3. I’m decorating in a Southwest/Boho theme and thought this was perfect!

I picked this up because it reminded me of those antique sugar molds. It was only .99 cents and I was able to keep the plant for something else!

I got it all cleaned up and washed! Now it’s ready to be styled!!

I hope you enjoyed this little haul. I love thrifting and finding things I can re-purpose or re-style! Don’t be afraid to get out and shop your thrift shops. You can find some really fun & unique pieces for next to nothing. Follow me on Instagram to get more home decor ideas or to see how I use my thrift store finds in my decor!
