Today I finally took the poor toilet paper lamp to the D.I.. It’s been sitting either in our garage or the trunk of our car for over the last month. Last night, Chris told me that, “If you don’t take care of that by the time I get back (from his trip), you’re going to be in serious trouble.” I do as I’m told.
Of course, no drop off at D.I. is complete without strolling the ailes afterward. I found quite a few goodies there. Among them was the above mirror. I’ve been looking for a mirror like this for ages! I was so excited to come across this sweet mirror. I was really hoping to find a full-length mirror similar to this, but this will most certainly do! Especially for $1.50.
I’ll take it! I’ve been going back & forth about where to hang this old painting of mine – as it only seems appropriate for Halloween season, but I kinda like it here. In our bedroom. Isn’t there some Postal Service song that mentions Skeletons?
Have you found any screaming deals lately? You guys shared some great finds! Vicki found a Fuji Instamax for $2. Janet scored a bunch of killer deals (my favorite being the dress at the bottom of the post). Laura found the most adorable yellow quilted floral pillows. Rachel scored a KILLER perforated leather Dooney & Burke purse (probably last week’s fave share).
Please share in the comments! Links to your own blog posts are great, even encouraged! Just please make sure they’re in the spirit of Thrifty & Chic.
Eeee!!! I love it! Gorgeous.
i’m still recovering from my one and only trip to the DI. you guys are lucky! my most recent australian trhrift-venture resulted in a blue pyrex bowl for $4… not amazing, but i’ve used it just about every day since!
yes! “nothing better” by the postal service:
“will someone please call a surgeon
who could crack my ribs and repair this broken heart
that you’re deserting for better company”
love the mirror!
that mirror is amazing!!
I love how tiny it is– in the first picture I thought it was larger and liked it even more when I saw the cute size:)
I am in LOVE with that skeleton painting! I would put that up year around in any old room!
I found some great big skeleton keys and some gorgeous fabric last week. I also found a great Father’s day gift, but I couldn’t post about it because my dad would see it! http://feathersflights.blogspot.com/2011/05/weekend-yardsaling.html
i found (not recently…maybe a few months back now), get this, a heavy duty, black kitchen aid stand up mixer…for $60!! I about peed my pants when I walked by it. :)
First thanks for mentioning little ‘ole me! I found this little red riding hood -Literally- for $1 at the thrift store.

I love that mirror! So pretty. Last Saturday I stopped by Caitlin Creer’s tag sale and snagged some gorgeous fabric I’m going to use for curtains and then I picked up a pretty Pottery Barn crib set for $15! It was awesome.
