Thrift shop bonanaza....

I LOVE giving new life to thrift shop finds. We had such a WONDERFUL store in Illinois. Here in Georgia.....not so much. Once in awhile though we have a good find at the local Good Will shop. Yesterday was one of those days. Here's what I bought for $15. All the yarn (20+ skeins for $5) Woo-Hoo




Glass Frame that inserts on top.....perfect for a mosaic and cork coasters to alter.






Gorgeous photo collage topped wooden box (8 x 10) perfect to decoupage













Big Valentine tin to collage





Fun wooden cupboard to redo......not sure where I'm going with this one yet!! :) Measures about 9 x14 inches.















Glass fish bowl with 4 packages of marbles I will use for collage.









Mini cigar box to collage and alter, maybe 6 x 6 inches.














Hopefully I can get some of these finished up soon and get them in my shop!! I'll share them as I get to them. Right now I'm working on a Valentine Reds Crocheted Purse!! Anyone having any good ideas for these goodies, please pass them along!! :::Smiles:::

Wow, you scored at Goodwill! Lots of fun stuff to alter. Can't wait to see what you do with it all. Looking forward to your Valentine for the swap, too.

I LOVE thrift/junk stores! We have one here in town and I have found some AWESOME things at it! I still need to go by the Goodwill here. I've posted many of the finds on my blog. Can't wait to see what you create with these gems. I just love your purses! And I'm a kittie mom too.
