Thrift Store Finds

It's been a while since I've shared some of my thrift store finds. Actually, I haven't shared them in a while because I haven't really had the chance to shop in a while.

However, I did manage to stop by a Goodwill yesterday while I was waiting for my youngest to take her ACT. I found a couple of goodies.

I found this beautiful red and cream herringbone weave throw. I actually have a blue and cream one exactly like it. It's super soft and just the right size for curling up with a good book or watching tv. The price was just right too...$1.99!

The other goody I found yesterday was this peacock print. It's signed but it's in Chinese, I'm assuming, and I don't know how to research it. I don't exactly know how to make the Chinese characters on my keyboard, lol!

I love the colors...teal, green, and gold...and I loved the $4.99 price. Now to find a home for it.

Well, school is coming to an end soon and I'm hoping to do more thrift store and yard sale shopping. Not that I really need anything else but has that truly ever stopped a bargain shopper!?

Thanks for stopping by and God bless!!

Dreaming in Color - A Fun, Artsy Store in Murfreesboro TN

This week, our Nashville area bloggers group met at this incredible store located right here in Murfreesboro. Dreaming In Color is owned by Deneen Glidwell and is located just down the street from the historic Oaklands Mansion. It's full of great furniture pieces, vintage items, and lots of handcrafted art.

Let's take a look!

This is Deneen, our adorable host!

Loved this piece! Unfortunately, it was already sold.

Cute wall decor!

Weird shot of the wall between two rooms...I was trying to get the cool arrow sign. Almost got it.

These amazing pieces are made by Lucy Inspired.

Love the way she mixes old found objects in her jewelry pieces.

What don't I love about this display...gorgeous cabinet, boxwood wreath, and ironstone.

I think this was my favorite of all the items.

This is my year to follow my dream...and I'm going for it!

If you're in the Murfreesboro area, be sure to check out Dreaming In Color located on N. Maney Avenue, located in the historic area. I found out last night that Deneen's building has quite a history behind it and there are close local ties to Judy Garland even. Pretty cool, huh?

Thanks for stopping by and God bless!
