Thrift Store Paradise!

I visited my old stomping grounds last weekend and discovered that Downtown Longview, Washington had turned into a thrift store paradise! I spent $25.00 and got all these goodies and can hardly wait to show you my ideas.

I’m the most excited about the wood door handles that were 75% off, so they cost $1.25 each.  I plan to combine them with the composite craft door and the ONLY image I could salvage from a mermaid coffee table book (that I paid $10.00 for…plus shipping!)

The glass vase is quite heavy so it will work for quirky flowers I plan to make using shells and necklace pendants.

This set will be fun to decoupage:  either napkins or some fabulous image.

More decoupage base ideas!

I have a 3′ pine picket that is already painted white and these will make a great “coat rack” after I drill holes and screw them on.

I love little odd pieces that come in handy so often to add whimsy and make something truly OOAK.

I want to turn this into a mermaid lariat necklace!

It’s going to be so fun to remake all these treasures!
