Winter Thrifty Finds

Even though I have been quite busy during the winter we did manage to get in a few stops to our local Salvation Army.

I got this sweet little enamel planter with lace-y deer border for only at $1.   I'm starting to get into all things enamel and will definitely be on the look out when at flea markets this spring.



My husband stopped in at a Salvation Army one day without me and found these two solid wood tall but narrow book cases.   They now are on either side of my desk in my office and almost look like built ins.   There are a few dings in them so I may end up re-staining or painting them in the spring.   I think they would look nice in an antique white with a robin's egg blue in the back. 


Earlier in the fall my husband had stopped by at a yard sale and bought this tin painting for $3.   We added it to our foyer where we are trying to build a gallery wall.   The size of the painting worked perfectly over our front door.    You can also see the German Expressionist painting we had bought back in the summer.
