It’s #thriftscorethursday …..

thrift score thursday10Pin

New here?  Let me explain!

We want you to participate! Hit up your local thrift stores, craigslist, yard sales, estate sales, side of the road, anything! Thrifty doesn’t necessarily mean from a thrift store. We want to see your good deals, wacky finds and treasures.

Don’t feel like you need to save those finds for Thursdays! Yes, features are shared on our blogs and Instagram on Thursdays, but we’re all checking in on (and using!) the hashtag all week long. So, when you see/find it, feel free to share it!

Each week, Trisha from Black and White Obsession, Cassie from Primitive and ProperCorinna from For My Love Of, Brynne from The Gathered Home and a weekly guest co-host will pick a favorite thrift score or two to feature! So please note that by linking up with#thriftscorethursday, you are giving us permission to share your finds via social media or on our blogs.

This week just to change it up I am going to share my find first.  AlsobecauseIamreallyexcitedaboutit!!!!

I found this amazing dresser on craigslist and was thrilled to go pick it up.  And when I arrived, the seller mentioned he was moving so I made small talk and discovered he was headed to where my kids were both born…. the North Shore of Louisiana!  (They were born in Slidell).  He was headed to the Mandeville area, but I told him he must head to Sal & Judy’s in Lacombe for the BEST FOOD EVER.  I miss that place…. soooo good.  I could really go for seafood gumbo right now.  But I digress.

Back to the dresser….

IMG_2005PinIt has already begun its transformation and I hope to share soon!

And now here are my features for this week!

You know I have a thing for paint by numbers, especially nautical.  These 4 were a great find by Andi428.

Anna of Annabode scored this gigantic and healthy fiddle leaf fig off craigslist!  You can find her on instagram here.tst annabodePin

 

This bar cart received a glamorous makeover from love_recycled and it’s a stunner now!  I also enjoyed scrolling through the rest of her feed- so much prettiness!tst love_recycledPinAnd now be sure to visit my cohosts to checkout their finds and features!  (Corinna is sitting this week out).
