I love paint by numbers.

I can't afford them on ebay.

The #1 Ladies Detective Agency.

I loved the books. We are loving the series.

These prints remind me of this series.

Beautiful colors.

Frames need some spray paint.

Fun flowered burlap placemats.

One can never have too many placemats.

Am I right?

(click on photos for detail)

Yep. Another lamp I could not resist. $3.oo. Treasure Chest Thrift.

Original oil from Good Stuff Thrift. $3.99

Cool plates. Set of 15 $3.99 Purrrfect Bargain Humane Society Thrift.

This little sugar bowl matches a platter I found at another store. Good Stuff Thrift $1.99

I love these plates. Canadian Pine by Easterling in Bavaria Germany. They were $2.99 for a set of four. I wish I had more so I could use them for my Christmas dinner. I may just mix and match with some other vintage plates.

More "fundue" paraphernalia. This Fondue book has some really fun recipes. Waste Management finds. $3.00 for pot, stand, napkin and book.


Okay, now for the big stuff. I found this Ethan Allen couch and loveseat at Salvation Army. It was half off Friday so I scored both pieces for $180.00. I needed a new couch badly and was thrilled to find these. They are in perfect condition and they feel really good on my aching back unlike our old saggy couch. I love Sally's.

These cool lamps were at a local salvage yard (without the shades). I think I need to find better shades. Any ideas? They were $5.oo apiece. Are they not beautiful?




We found this unusual table at Goodwill. It is really heavy. I don't have any idea which era it comes from. Have any of you seen anything like this? It was $15.00. I like the amoeba top.

Frugalicious Finds For Under Ten.

I am really becoming an addict. Inflation has taken it's toll. All of these finds were under $10.00. Most were under $5.oo however. The deals are still out there if you are diligent. Here are some recent finds.

A quirky green glass swan. Under $5. (pictured above) It matches the quirky glass conch my husband found. (see Blue Beauties) Click on pictures for detail. They look much better up close.

Nifty atomic platter. Under $5.

Leafilicious dish. Under $5.


Cool little farmhouse measuring cups. Under $5.

These tiles remind me of Jenn Ski artwork. $1.00.

Fun mushroom cake tin. A wee bit over $5.oo.

Painting of a European village. $2.00

Cool Bavarian pattern platter that I don't need! Yes, under $5.00.

Lovely turquoise lazy susan. Nope, more than $5.00 but worth it.

Daisy plate (7 plates for $3.00) and retro oil and vinegar vessels ($1.99).

My personal favorite. Boomerang ashtray. $1.00.


A crackle glass vase. $2.00.
