It’s time for #thriftscorethursday !

New here?  Well then let me explain what thrift score Thursday is….

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.

And now, onto some amazing features!  There were so many great finds (hello, yard sale season!), so I decided to share some of my favorite furniture finds from the week.

Jennifer from Flea Market Fab has been featured by me before… She’s got great style and a great eye.  Just check out this screen and the stools!  The screen would make an awesome headboard similar to what Sarah Dorsey just did.

Gabbi from Retro Ranch Reno has been on the hunt for some bamboo chairs, and finally had some luck with this score!

I always love a great French dresser, and this piece that Renewed by Deezign found is gorgeous!  Just love the shape.

And my last feature for the day comes from Pam of Simple Details, who I call the craigslist queen.  This woman finds the most amazing pieces!!!  She has persistence and a keen eye!  She just designed a gorgeous room, and check out the mirror, dresser, and tufted chair which were all craigslist finds!

And now for my find!  Last Friday morning a friend and I hit some local yard sales, and I scored a pair of these vintage rugs!  One will be staying in this bathroom for sure.  And yes, I did just purchase another rug for this space, but this one is what I was really looking for.  Just shows that patience pays off… I didn’t have any, so in my case lack of patience pays twice. (And Catcher is modeling checking out his backside in my other big find which I shared on instagram.  This bathroom will get its makeover next weekend!)

One more thing!  We have a fun announcement this week, a new addition to #thriftscorethursday !

#dearTST: We are excited to unveil a new feature of Thrift Score Thursday this week – #dearTST – where you, our dear readers, can tag photos of thrift finds if you would like ideas/advice from the TST hosts for how to make it over or use it. Once a month (or so), we’ll feature the #dearTST finds on the blog and offer our ideas.  So tag those photos for us!

Now head on over to visit my cohosts and see what fun finds they have featured and scored for themselves!

And now speaking of awesome finds, I am headed to the Lucketts Spring Market to stock the Sweet Clover tent with smalls, and perhaps take a peek at what other vendors have!  So exciting!

    So sad to have missed out on all the treasures this week (although I still pawed after them on Instagram). I’m dying over that ornate screen, to which I totally glazed passed (because I was focused on those chairs). Pam really is a craigslist queen- that mirror has me envious!

    P.S. I love Catcher photo bombs!
