I have always been a garage sale or thrift shop type person. Not sure why, but I love finding things to upcycle or just amazed at finding things people throw out. Expensive items have been found in years past. I am noticing though that lately my favorite thrift stores don't have anything worthwhile. Mostly junk that people should have just tossed. I think they've begun to sell their good things on FB marketplace or maybe eBay. I use to do eBay, but now they want your checking info to pay you instead of being paid instantly by using PayPal. Maybe for IRS reasons. Not sure, but I am hesitant of giving them access to my checking. Not so much because I think they might use it, but who knows how secure.
Anyway, back to a couple things I did find recently.
This wasn't a thrift store find. I found out how to make napkins. This was from a photo that I printed onto napkin material. I'm going to mod podge it onto one of those wooden squares and add a saying. I am going to redo it though before crafting it because this was the first attempt, and I had to add ink to my printer and it smudged when it was processing the new ink cartridge.
I liked the design on this glass vase for $1.99, and was going to paint it, but after I cleaned it up I think I like it plain. So I added some of my fake flowers.
This vase was $1.99 too, and bought it to paint and distress.
This cute lamp with the shade was only $.99 cents. I thought it looked like a modern little lamp.
I thought I liked this globe and base when I bought it for $3.00, but pretty sure I'm going to get rid of it. Didn't like it so well after all.
A couple more below from last week's walk. The weather is turning warm again this week so may get to venture out again.
Have a happy week. Look forward to what you'll be sharing.
