Part 2...Thrifty Finds....

Good Morning Everyone!

This is part 2 of my thrifty finds...

these finds are from a couple weeks ago.

I tried 3 different times to write this post

and it's been taking for-ever to upload pictures.

These items are from 2 different Goodwills...

At the first Goodwill stop, these

were my finds....

This hanger thingy with the clips.

I wanted one to hang photos on.

This one was $1.49

This bag of buttons was 1/2 price,

so I paid .49 cents for it.

3 yards of musilin fabric for $1.99

This is an old wood scooter.

We use to play on these in gym class

when I was in school. So much fun!

It's a little beat up, not exactly sure what

I am going to do with it...but I had to have it.

(My son told me to put one of my large

plants on it...then when I want to move

the plant, I just have to push the scooter) Lol!

 Scooter was $2.99

Moving onto the next Goodwill...

These were my finds...

3 of these awesome jars with rusty wire handles.

the one in the front has writing on it.

These were .69 cents each!  SCORE!!

These molds were

$1.49 for all six.

And these molds were $1.99 for

all 9 of them.

I want to make some Pantry cakes.

Carmen gave a wonderful

tutorial on how to make Pantry cakes.

This awesome find was $2.99.

I just Love it! I'm thinking about

painting it Black!

what do you think??

And lastly....

These 4 Blue Ball mason Jars

were .99 cents each.

And I took one of them and made it into

a soap dispenser for the Bathroom.

I had all the materials on hand.

That's it for my thrifty finds.

Enjoy your day everyone!



Thrifty Finds...Part One....

Finally getting around to sharing

my Thrifty finds...

This is from 2 weeks ago...

This is all from one stop

at one Good Will.

This is 2 bags of fabric.

They were $2.99 each bag.

There was a ton of fabric in each bag.

Most pieces were 1/4 yd.

A few pieces were 1/2 yard...

and there were some full 1 yard pieces.

And of course some small square pieces.

I have a few  things in mind for

some of this fabric.

What a good way to brush up on my

sewing skills, lol!

This little rabbit mold was .99 cents.

This heart pan was on the end of an

isle on clearance for .49 cents.

I will be painting something on

the back side of this.

These 3 heart  molds were

.99 cents each.

This heart was also .49 cents

on clearance. It's just the frame

of a heart, no bottom.

These skates were $5.99 pr.

But I don't have any like these

and I thought they were unique.

These were $1.99 and there

are four of them taped together.

Are they called sock stretchers??

These 2 wooden Kleenex boxes

were $1.49 each.

I plan on painting these also.

And this little pan with a wire handle

for .99 cents.

I thought it was cute and different.

So this was finds from 2 weeks ago...

I will be back sometime this week

with my finds from last week.

Hope everyone has a wonderful week!

Stay warm!

Terrie Owens

from

Country Girl Crafts

had a little contest on her

Facebook page.

She cut out one of her new

wood creations...

left it (unfinished)

and you had to guess what it

was going to be....

after she painted it.

I came the closest,

by saying it was for

Halloween.

The correct answer was a

Halloween Totem Pole....

and I won the Pattern Packet

for her new creation.

So Cute!

Thank You Terrie!

I can't wait to cut this one out

and paint it up!

Stop on over and pay Terrie a visit.

She does some awesome painting on lanterns,

feathers, (yes, I said feathers) and wood crafts.

her Husband makes AMAZING Chandeliers

from Deer horns.

And Lastly...

I entered a Giveaway over at

for some knitted dishcloths.

and I DIDN'T win,

but Lesa sent me one of her

knitted dishcloths anyways

and in my favorite colors....

So Beautiful....

MEMORY BEARS......

Has anyone ever heard of Memory Bears?

They are bears that are made out of a favorite shirt,

blanket or some type of clothing that

belonged to a loved one that had passed away.

There is no specific pattern for these bears.

It can be a boughten pattern,

or your own design.

These Memory bears were made by my Sister Karen.

She used a bear pattern from Jo-Ann Fabrics.

My Sister Carolyn had just lost her

Father-In-Law (Bob) a few weeks ago to Cancer.

Carolyn had recruited my Sister Karen

to make these bears

(karen is the seamstress in the family)

For her Mother-in-law and her Husband

and other family members,

as a Keepsake of  Bob.

These bears were made out of her

Father-In-Law's favorite shirts that he wore.

Karen also made up a few pillows out

of Bob's shirts too....

This is just the start of the bears.

She has many more to make!

I wish I had known about these bears

when my husband and Dad had passed away.

This would've been a wonderful keepsake.



Backyard Guests.....

Dooo, Dooo, Dooo,

Looking Out My Back Door!

Actually, if you look out my back door,

the garage is there....Lol!

But behind the garage is the garden.

And next to the garden

is a patch of brush and trees....

Which accompanies my Backyard Guests.....

We noticed something was eating off the tops of

our pine trees we planted a few years ago...

and footprints coming across the lawn and

through the garden.

(Awwww!  Sweet!)

So we put up our deer-cam

and some corn

and a few salt blocks.....

to catch the culprits in the act.

And Look at this

Big Fellow!

He must be the ring leader!

(8 pointer)

And this one must be his side kick!

(4 pointer)

They have been coming back everynight.

The bucks haven't lost their horns yet,

but I'm told they will be losing them soon!

I just love the country life!

Nature at it's finest!
