Thrift Store Finds

As I mentioned in my previous posts, I went to the two local goodwill stores in my area (both of the Concord locations) on Saturday afternoon. And while I didn’t find a super large frame like I wanted, to create a customized bulletin board for my boss’s office, I did find some REALLY great stuff!



Like these two milk glass compotes, which I used to plant herbs in...



And I picked up three of these 8x10 frames for just $3.99 a piece!  I have already spray painted one pink to hang some artwork in my kitchen.



And all of these milk glass bud vases which I instantly filled with yellow roses from my rose bushes out front.  I think I spent a total of $10.00 for 6 vases!!!

  1. followed you here from apron thrift girl. the milk glass finds are wonderful. there's just something so clean and uncluttered about them, which i love. filled with roses from your garden... perfect!

    the details on those frames are great too.

  2. Those compotes are great! I never find anything great at my Goodwill. I'll have to start traveling to the other ones in town.

  4. The milk glass is lovely, I am sure that the herbs in them look great. I will have to keep trying at my local Goodwill stores, I haven't had too much luck so far.

  5. I love milk glass also. You found some cute pieces and the vases look so pretty with the white roses in them! I fill mine with hydrangeas.
