Success at D.I.

I always have so much fun looking for hidden goodies at thrift stores! Here is what I found today at the Deseret Industries on State street in Provo. Before I forget, things go so fast in this place! One of the items I photographed was in someone's cart before I left. I hope this post is inspirational at least, if none of the items are left in the store when you go look around.


This beautiful piece of pottery is legit! I looked up the company online and found a lot of their other work for sale on antique websites. It was $1.50.

Cute little thing, only one dollar.

I realllly like this teapot! You can see the price, it's a great buy.

This vase is at least 15 inches tall. It's a great plum color so if you have plum accents in your room, pick it up...QUICK! For $1.

I guess I was into pottery today :) This is a ceramic planter, 6 inches around the widest part and 4 around the mouth. Also one buck-a-roo.


This is the one I saw in somebody's cart when I was leaving. And no wonder! It is super cute with so much potential for just $9.

Savers Stop

I know, it doesn't look like much...but this is an awesome avocado green table cloth! It is a light cotton and perfectly round. The diameter is roughly 68 inches.

Some more sweet seat covers. There were three of these for $1.99 each.

No not a shot glass, but perhaps a decorative vase? With a little polishing this contemporary piece would look terrific. Grab it for $4.99. Oh, and it's about 6 inches tall.

FAVORITE ITEM of the day!!! I love these candlestick holders. The fat guy is $3.99 and the skinny is $0.99.

Savers usually has a nice array of glasses. I especially like the colors and diverse shapes of these. Prices from left to right $2.99, $0.99, $0.99, $2.99 (and that is for each glass).

Rusty MAGNOLIA's

This store is SO MUCH FUN! They have over 40 vendors with antiques plopped all over the place. From the outside it may not look so appealing, but one step inside Magnolia on 310 E. Whittier Blvd in La Habra, and you will be convinced.

There is a huge "backyard" to this store with a lot of (sadly) deteriorating treasures. The above assortment pretty much sums up the back area.

How great is this table?! Made with large chunks of wood and branches, the bottom is a little awkward, but the painting on top makes up for it.

Here is a close up of the hand-painted flowers.

I can't even stand how much I love this painting and frame. If only I had $200 for it...

I've never seen anything quite like this little guy.

NapaStyle

How many times have we heard not to judge a book by it's cover? Yet, when I first laid eyes on the NapaStyle homepage I almost brushed it off as it didn't seem to be my style. HOWEVER, I have been pleasantly surprised and am glad to share a few of their unique products.

(But first, their homepage as I recently view it)

These lovelies are handcrafted in Spain from recycled glass and range from $35 to $98.

On the website they seem excited that this ANTIQUE silverware is available by the pound. While that is nice, I am thrilled to find a resource for something so classic and quality.

I had a similar idea with the flatware...I thought it would be fun to grab all my silverware from the local thrift store. Although it took me almost two hours to dig through the giant buckets of kitchen junk, I didn't find anything quite as beautiful as on NapaStyle!

More Beautiful Budget Finds

This silver leaf candle holder is only $6 at Anthropologie!
I LOVE these drawer/door pulls from anthropologie. They have a ton of cute styles, this particular one is called melon and goes for $8. I know that doesn't really count as a budget item because you are likely to buy more than one...but it is so great I had to post it.
