thrifty treasures

I mentioned in my spraypainting post that I got some great finds at a yard sale recently. You've got to see.



This table. It needs a little lot of love. But I think a light green distressed finish would be nice. I'm not sure I really NEED a table like this. If you notice, there is a radiator cover right there that could hold those lovely little items. IF that radiator cover was not normally cluttered with mail and magazines. (Which were removed for this photograph.)

I'll refinish the table for sure, but I may sell it afterward. (Which I think may be my new business plan. Or, actually, my ONLY business plan, because I never had an old one. Unless you count the Starbucks Truck idea, like an ice cream truck, but for grownups!)

ANYWAY, I digress.

I got this pretty red book on the table too. I like the color, but I LOVE the title.





Although, in my case, I normally feed my friends Dominos Pizza. I could slap that title page on a pizza box. Not nearly as charming. (Did I mention how I dropped an ENTIRE BOX of Dominos pizza down my basement stairs last week. No? That was because I couldn't stop crying until THIS week.)

I digresss. AGAIN.

You also saw this before, but I like it so much, I'm going to repeat it.



Which now looks like this



And YES! They do still have Tiger Beat magazine! Shaun Cassidy is no longer in it, but Nick Jonas is. (Or whoever the cute one is?)

I found a few more treasures at the library book store (the BEST secret for cheap vintage and antique books. Seriously, $1!) but I don't have pictures yet.

I DID get to have coffee with this gal today, who somehow finds energy to entertain her toddler around the DC suburbs and write about it. So nice to share adult conversation, even if we DID talk about our kids a lot!
