Met Monday -Thrifty Treasures

Anybody know where the weekend went?  Even though we gained an hour here in Iowa, I am still behind!!  We had a great Halloween, weather was perfect for my little ladybug and vampiress

The fabulous Susan at BNOTP is hosting her Met Monday where you can see some great decorating inspiration.

Below is a picture of my latest thrift store finds. Some in this post and others not quite finished!!
Loved the basket shape, not the color. Gotta love brass candle sticks. Now I am not knocking brass cuz back in ancient times of the 80s brass was hot!! I had it all over my bedroom at home. How I wanted a real brass headboard, funny how 20 years changes your wish list!!

I used the dome below for more Halloween decor and used the base for another project.

This headboard was a steal from Craigs list for 25 dollars. It is a king and I paid $25. The sagey color is really nice, but didnt work with what I needed it for.

Paint isnt quite dry in the pic, but isnt she lovely now? King headboard for $25, yeah.

Remember the pic from before, brass candlesticks, basket wrong color, various glass bowls? A little stain painted on the basket, good coat or coats of black spray paint and here we go my dining room table centerpiece in the works!! I think 2 of the bowls were candle containers and the largest size you see at every thrift store, but since they are all kind of unified they are all happy together!!

How about the dome pic from above and more brass candlesticks? I used the base from the dome and the brass candle stick now beautified for my Wallieworld punkin, as my daughter calls it.

Last but not least, another candlestick with a plate from Entertaining at Home housing my last Halloween decor from Windmill Lettering.

Make sure you check out their pricing for vinyl lettering, I ordered quite a few and it was really reasonable, great Xmas gifts everybody.

Some of these need further tweaking, which is part of the fun. Crazy week with the FLU unfortunately entering our house, but all in all a very productive week. Come back soon!!!
