I came across a big jar with a foo finial at Goodwill. It wasn't a blue and white jar but how could I pass up a Foo Dog finial? 

I love it even more since I saw it on 

The Enchanted Home Blog on sale for $155 !


$10 at Goodwill, pictured with a few of my larger blue and white pieces to give you an idea how large it is. It also fit perfectly on a rosewood base that I had.

Carnival Glass Candle Hurricanes 85% off retail


The original retail prices on these candle hurricanes were crazy, $69.99, $49.99 and $19.99.
I purchased these on half price day from the Goodwill,
 ...the largest cost me $10.
They are dusty but in perfect condition.
They look great with the pumpkins I picked up at Home Goods and a crow (50 % off) from Michaels.

$2 Coffee Bar


This Fontana cabinet from Broyhill isn't really my style but the price was right...FREE! I recently decided to chalk paint a bedroom set that has lots of deep scratches. I figured that 
I could practice on this cabinet and make it into a coffee bar.


I was shocked at how little chalk paint is required. I used Waverly Chalk paint in "Agave" from Walmart, 16 oz jar for  just $9.47 and I still have about half the jar left.

This cabinet was more scuffed up than it appears in the photos and not all of it is real wood, some pieces are MDF covered in a wood grain paper type thing but everything covered nicely. I might paint the inside of the upper cabinet, I just want to be sure I don't get scratches in the paint.

So, all in, I invested about $6 in our coffee bar.

Misc Chinoiserie I've found Thrifting

This is by far my favorite thing to look for while thrifting!
I'm working on building a collection.
Craigslist is also a great source for Blue and White.

Eclectic Photo Frames $2.99 ea.

You should always check thrift stores for frames!
I love the BOHO style frames I run across at thrift stores.
