Monday's Thrifty Treasures

Hello and welcome to Thrifty Treasures Monday hosted by http://southernhospitalityblog.com/ Stop over and visit her to see the other participants.


This first item I found at a thrift store called Unique. I couldn't believe my eyes when I saw this on the shelf. It is just so pretty. The price? $2.42!! The top where the candle goes, and the handle are brass. The bottom part is a porcelain plate, and stamped on the bottom it says England. I originally was going to sell it on e-bay, and then I decided to keep it.








This is a wicker basket, and in great condition. I got this one at Unique thrift store as well. Not sure yet what I am going to do with it, but I have some ideas. I thought I might spray paint it a creamy white, and display some of my pretty hankies or vintage doilies in it.

This picture (and the one below) are some pictures I'd like to share with you that I found in a magazine, on uses for baskets. Now, we all have come across a great basket at a thrift store, and even though it's pretty, we're not quite sure what we would like to do with them. Well, here are some great ideas. I love this basket next to the bed. Isn't this pretty for a guest room?

This is an idea for the basket I had just shown you that I purchased. The picture above on the right, shows the basket hung on a wall, in a corner. I don't have a corner in my home that it would work in. You could take the lid off, and just use the bottom part to put on a wall, and display pictures or whatever it there. If you click on the pictures, they should enlarge. I'm not sure if you can read text on the page though. The picture on the left is a basket with a mirror on the bottom. How cute is that? You can hang a towel on the handle. Cute idea for a camper or really small bathroom. The basket on the bottom left has wooden dividers in it. You can put things on the individual shelves, and hang stuff on the lid too. They have vintage keys pictured on this one.

Aren't these the prettiest Pyrex bowls, in PINK! I snatched these right up when I found them at my favorite thrift shop. Monday's and Thursday's are 25% off day too! These cost me $4.06

with the discount! Baking days will be sweeter with these!

These items were from the thrift store too. As soon as I saw the thing on the left, I said, what a perfect little stand for a teapot, or a little plate and cloche! Of course I will paint it white first. It was $1 something with the discount. This is the sweetest pie plate. I think I may use it for a quiche. Well, the price was right, and it has pink roses on it.

Lastly, is this cute little pink rack??? Not sure yet what I will use it for, but I think I will paint it white. I put this little sachet in just to see how it would look. I think it might look nice painted a creamy antique white, and maybe I will stand a vintage picture in it. Hummm, or maybe stand lotion and soap in it in the bathroom, dish soap in kitchen, a plant perhaps? Any ideas?

Well, that's my thrifty finds for the week. I'm sure I'll have some more stuff to show you next time. See you then, and thanks so much for stopping by!
