I love shopping. I've always loved shopping. One of the best things about shopping is the "shopping buzz" you get when you score a great deal. There's nothing better than the feeling you get when you feel like you've gotten the steal of the century, be it on clothing, furniture or a thrift-store find. Now don't worry, I'm not in debt up to my eyeballs, but I do love a great bargain and I definitely try to get my "fix" at least once a week, whether it's at an estate-sale or thrift-store or TJ Maxx or the mall. A few of my favorite finds, in no particular order:
The most beautiful wardrobe trunk for only $15 - what a steal. The original hangers and drawers are inside (but my husband accidentally locked it - so no pictures are available!). I'm getting a piece of glass cut for the top to use as a coffee table in my family room.
I just love old shoe molds . I've found these at flea-markets and antique shops and have never spent more than $8. Three of anything looks like a collection once you put it in a glass container.
I found this at an estate sale and was told that it was used to make designs on wallpaper. It's a neat old piece that I keep on my bookshelves...love the rustic look.
This is an old traveling teachers desk. It folds up and there's a chalkboard on the bottom. The top portion scrolls through all sorts of different lessons, handwriting, botany, check-writing, etc. For some reason, I adore this and had to have it.
Oftentimes, I have a place in mind when I buy things, but not always. Do you buy first, decide later or do you always know exactly what you're going to do with your treasures?
