Thrift Store Goodness

My Finds Last Week

Well, so I start doing the mantel...and my lights are malfunctioning...I have some special twinkle

lights on sparkly branches and only one works. 

Darn it.

I replaced all the bulbs and the fuses and still no luck.

So...as I regroup from that...

Mandi at 

asked everyone to show their thrift store finds for the week.

I don't shop Thrift Stores much just because I have a garage full of stuff that needs to go

to a thrift store.

But last week I went with a friend and of course had to drag a couple of things home.

This huge lamp. Love the details.

I haven't even tried to see if it works...it was 1/2 off

so I got it for $4.

I'm thinking I'm going to pull the electrical out of it and paint it white (of course)

and it will just be a big huge finial thingie.

Big enough to set on the floor.

I really don't have a spot for a super huge lamp...but I'm still thinking about it.

What do you think?

I also got the little silver plated stand.

I'm sure I'll find a good use for it and at only $2...I couldn't pass up.

I also got a couple of vintage sliver spoons at $1 each. 

But forgot to show them....actually...I wonder where I put them?

As you can see these are sitting on my newly sanded dining room buffet.

It's waiting for paint.

Now I'm off to the 1st of the Month Paseo Artist's Walk.

It's perfect weather for it.

I'll try to take some photos.
