Thrift Score Thursday: Garden Turtle

Happy Thrift Score Thursday!
thrift score thursday12PinIf you are new here, let me explain just what #thriftscorethursday 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!  And we love it when you tag your friends to play along, too!

Each week Brynne from The Gathered Home, Cassie from Primitive and Proper, Corinna from For A Designer at Home,  Maggie from Maggie Overby Studios, and  once monthly a 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 we welcome Jessica of House Homemade as our guest host.  I’ve only recently met Jessica through instagram, but am a big huge fan of her colorful and fun style.TST-Guest-Host-Jessica-House-HomemadePinThis week I’ve spent some time workout outside and I thought I would share with you a recent find for my garden.  My Sweet Clover landlord was having a yard sale and this guy was in the mix… I knew my kids would love this cheery turtle with the long neck!  I had to bring him home and he’s going to oversee our new herb garden which is in the making.Vintage Garden TurtlePinHe’s a dapper fellow with a little flower in his hat, too.  He should attract all the right critters and keep those fennel munching caterpillars away, right?  That’s right, caterpillars…. this guy’s eyes are on you.  Watch yourselves.Vintage Garden Turtle 2PinNow let me show you some fun features this week!

Abby of Party of Nine scored these awesome vintage theater seats and they look amazing with her entire wall montage. I want that ram or antelope or ramtelope art as well!  And Abby creates those wood planked signs and sells them in her etsy shop- check it out here!tst partyofninePinYou can find Abby on instagram here.

Stephanie from Casa Watkins made a fabulous deer mount vase using thrifted bottles.  I adore this entire wall of cheer!  The Spring colors and flowers stopped me in my tracks.tst casa watkinsPinYou can find Stephanie on instagram here.

Britt Kingery found a great set of unique wooden bowls.  I love the pattern on these!tst brittkingeryPinYou can find Britt on instagram here.

Lindsay of The White Buffalo Styling Co has been working on an epic master bath makeover.  She found this great little stool to add to the eclectic mix!tst white buffaloPin

You can find Lindsay on instagram here.

I am such a fan of Emily’s and now I am a little jealous of her, too, for finding all of this for $5.  I can’t make this stuff up.tst thewickerhousePinYou can find Emily on instagram here.

And finally Ashley of Bigger than the Three of Us found a marvelous headboard for $15, but her husband said it reminded him too much of his childhood.  So which does she get rid of?  The headboard or the husband? Tough call.tst biggerthanthethreeofusPinYou can find Ashley on instagram here.

That’s all of my features this week!  Be sure to follow along on instagram and check out the #thriftscorethursday tag for more.  I shared a couple extra finds of mine this weekend, too- yard sale season is finally upon us, after all!

Check out my cohosts to see their finds and features!

    Haha that turtle reminds me of something that would be on a Put Put golf course, he is very dapper for sure. Looks like he’s doing a good job in your garden.

    That turtle is the CUTEST! The little, adorable thrift finds and just as much my favorite as those huge, crazy ones. I love this guy in your garden!

    And laughing my head off over your take on Ashley’s husband/headboard quandary! Now, if we were talking my brass bed… Sorry, Bryan! 😉 😀
