But I did manage to get to Goodwill on Friday morning. Wanna see what I found?
This metal heart was 99 cents. You know I have a "thing" for hearts with wings. Here's the before:
I just modge-podged some scrapbooking paper on it, printed out the words on my computer, and used crackle over the words.
I'm linking up today to Between Naps on the Porch. I've never participated in her linky party before, so welcome! Love her blog!I found this frame for 99 cents too. I love it! I may spray paint it later, but for now, I like it. The poem inside was my Dad's. He had in a old brown outdated frame with a navy matte, and it ended up fitting perfectly in here.
I didn't get this thrifting, but I thought you might want to see a close-up of it anyway. It's got some of my favorite pictures. It's a collage of me VERY pregnant with #2, and then right after his birth. So sweet... The letters are from a scrapbooking kit I had.
I have already promised Ava we will make her a Strawberry Shortcake costume for Halloween, but this Cinderella dress-up gown was only $3.99! It's brand new. She's going to a "tea party" for her little friends birthday in a couple of weeks, so she wants to wear it there.
Ok, I'm going to lay my poor stuffy head back down. Happy Sunday!

I am *in love* with that super detailed frame you found! I cant believe it was just a dollar, wow!! It would love spectacular in black or very dark brown, IMO!!
Chrissie - I hope you're feeling better soon. I love seeing the good deals that others find... looks like you made some great ones. Also, really like the wall vignette and your pregnancy pictures... very special moments.
the quilt rack would look great white or even a bright accent color and distressed. i love the preg collage, so sweet! stop by my Goodwill party and link up your finds!
Ewwww....great finds!
May I suggest a great product that helped me kick my head cold I had last week?
It is called Emergen-C IMMUNE+ System Booster. It is in a little shot bottle. You drink the whole bottle. You can even drink 2 a day if you are really bad off. Won't hurt you! I was better in no time flat! I went ahead and bought a weeks supply. Figured with all the sick kiddos I encounter at school everyday it might help me stay well.
HUGS! Hope you are up and running soon.
You found some great stuff.....like the redo on the heart.
I would paint the quilt rack white. But it may depend on what color quilts you are going to display on it. Look forward to seeing the finished project.
great post...Hope you feel better soon...I am having a new give a-way do hope you stop over...

She will get so much use out of the Halloween costume just playing dress up.
I hope you will come by for a visit as well. I have a fun party on Mondays and another on Wed that just started up.

Its So Very Cheri
Nice finds! I bet your daughter will be thrilled to wear that dress!
I love all these great things you've shared. I can't wait to see what you do with the quilt rack. I love the metal heart redo. The wall vignette looks great. I love that poem you have from your dad. It is my mom's favorite, too.
