"Not" A Good Thrift Day


About a week and a half ago, I was NOT going to go to the thrift store.  After I got to the thrift store I was NOT going to buy a bird.


After I found a bird, I was definitely NOT going to pick up a basket.   I was also NOT getting a candlestick and for sure I was NOT snagging a large carved bowl.


Okay, maybe, just maybe, I'll get an unfinished letter M to do something crafty with.  For the record, I did NOT spend about $8 on everything.  Ooo, can you NOT see all of the possibilities here?  


I'm pretty sure I will NOT be linking with:

  4. Love your finds too- and I am just IN LOVE with that bird!!! It is so pretty. I heard somewhere that it's good luck to have birds in your home (supposed to be a good wedding gift I think- to bring the couple luck) I think it is so pretty. Be blessed, karyl =0)

  23. you are so funny, but I have those days too. It's a good thing it happened at the thrift store and not at some expensive hobby store, lol.

  24. You either take the best pictures or that is really great looking stuff. I think it's a little of both!

  25. I am in love with your bird, Kim. Beautiful. I definitely don't need to go to the thrift store myself...

  26. I am so glad you forced yourself to NOT buy these things, Kim! : ) My past couple of trips to Goodwill I have kept an open mind {for myself}, but this last trip I did specifically go looking for lamps with my daughter. I'm actually surprised we found anything because when you are looking for something specific you don't usually find it there!
