Thrifty Finds

Yesterday, a friend and I went to some local thrift stores. I found lots of treasures!
Here are just a few...



I bought the foot stool for $3.88 and the wooden box for $1.48.


I bought the painting for $3.03!
It is about 24" x 24".
I haven't decided if I want to keep it or sell it in the shop. If I keep it, I will probably hang it on my screened porch.

The foot stool is cute but is in need of some new fabric. I'll put that on my "to do" list.

I've already done a quick makeover on the box.
I gave it a light wash of light gray paint and added a French graphic to it.
I got the graphic from The Graphics Fairy website.



I like how the box turned out and it only took a few minutes!

So, I have 3 great items for under $10.
$8.39 to be exact!
