WEEKEND THRIFT STORE FINDS

  Hello my beautiful people! This weekend besides spending lots of family time and dining out.  I finally did some much needed thrift shopping! For the longest, I have been on the lookout for wooden picture frames. I know what your thinking. How hard can it be finding wooden picture frames? Well Its not hard at all, but you see 30 bucks a piece at a department store does not set well with me. As you can see I was able to find a variety of sizes and border styles for a great price. I haven't yet figured out what to do with my rustic picture frames, but I have some fun ideas in mind.
   I am happy to share that I bought 15 frames for about $11.50 total. That my friends is what I call a awesome deal! The trick was to dig and pick out the ones that were 50% off. I really don't mind paying $ .74 or $ .37 a piece!  
   Moving on to my favorite thrift store pick. One of the best things about thrift shopping is that you never know what you'll find. This weekend I happened to come across a mint condition 1982 first edition "Entertaining" Martha Stewart book. From the moment I saw it I knew it had to be mine. The best part is that I only payed $1.48 for it!
 "Entertaining" 1982 Martha Stewart was the first book she ever wrote, launching the massive empire we  know today. This book gives you a glimpse of her heritage and life as a child. All while inviting you into her home the "Turkey Hill Farm". I think it is a fabulous, vintage guide on entertaining at home. Taking you step by step through hundreds of recipes and how to's for an expressive way of entertaining guests and family. I am ecstatic to own a copy of a book that revolutionized the way we entertain and turned Martha Stewart into the domestic advising wonder she is today.


Thrift store shopping has to be one of the things I enjoy doing the most. Not only do I usually find great stuff for my closet and home, it's also my go to spot for unique items. Do you like thrift shopping? What are some of your best thrift store finds?

XO, Nancy!
