Happy Thrift Score Thursday!

thrift score thursday10

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 we have special guest Jess of Domicile 37.  Welcome, Jess!

TST Guest Host Domicile 37

This week I am showing off two fabulous features.  First up, I love this dresser from Little Home Reloved.  And I love the peek of the opposite wall in the mirror!  Beautiful, Ty!

You can find Ty on instagram here.

Next up, my heart skipped a beat when I saw this beautiful clock from Twine & Vines.  I mean…. just soak it in, people.

Jodi has such a fun instagram feed, and you can find it here.

Now I am excited to share my own find!  This was inspired by my friend Ali who no longer blogs, but has a great backlog of projects worth checking out.  Actually, it’s not featured on her blog, but this idea was hers… See, her mom worked in a shop that was getting rid of old displays, including standing rotating card display.  Ali took it  home to display photos in her home…. genius!  Ever since I saw her amazing idea, I wanted something similar to display my own family photos, precious memories and snapshots that maybe aren’t frame-worthy but make me smile.

Well, a couple weekends ago, I was in Chatham, MA, at a fabulous shop my friend wanted to show me.  Monomoy Salvage is a teeny little place, but it was filled with some awesome treasures.  I saw a tabletop brass vintage card display and felt it was my lucky day!  I asked the shop owner how much, as there was no price on it… She said, “uuum, how about $20?”  I blurted out “Sold!”

And now here it is on top of the Ikea cubbies in our cedar planked closet.

Vintage Card Display as Photo DisplayI am so in love with this, and it’s the perfect size as I didn’t have a place for a floor standing version.

Now be sure to visit all of my cohosts to see their finds and features!

    Your card holder is perfect in that spot. It will be fun to change out the pictures from time to time. (I’ll bet that your daughter would like that job. Or she might like to fill it with her summer art work.)

    Great find Cassie and I love the the vignette and how you set it up! You have so much great elements in this space and they tie so well together! Good job! I love the rack as well as all the other little detail (especially the key holder—so cool)
