I bought a buffet $50, sold it for $100 and purchased another IKEA Markor bookcase for $50, so it was basically free!
I’m still working on creating vignettes, but every single item, including the books were thrift store items. I call it my Junkin’ bookcase :)
After my previous thrift store brass purchase, I found another brass item that was too adorable to pass up at $2
I have a question for all of you. If I were to host a linky party (maybe weekly depending on the level of interest), would you be interested in participating? The party would be a way for you to show off your thrifty finds or how you have put your thrifty finds to use. I would like the focus to be on decor, as that is my area of interest. I know there are other parties out there that have a similar (or the same) theme, and this will be another way for you to show everyone how clever you are :)
Whatchafink? Also, if this were a go, can you come up with a relevant and clever name for the party?
I'm sharing at
Great finds! Totally up for a par-tay. I'd link up every week. Can't think of a cute name...I'll be thinkin on that one.
ReplyDeleteIm good at finding thrift store stuff! I could actually do the linky party possibly :)
ReplyDeleteYou find some great stuff!I'd link up if I remembered! :) Love your thrifty book case, does not look thrifty at all..very upscale!
ReplyDeleteoh i love that mirror! and the bird!
ReplyDeleteand i am sure i would link up sometimes- i have gotten lazy about linking to parties, and i have not had much to share the past couple months... but i am sure i would!
The mirror and the brass birds are fantastic. I love to mix metals and am so glad that brass is back. Your bookcase vignette is looking wonderful. I fill mine with all thrifty items and I love to find the old books to put in them. They look fabulous with things stacked on top of them. Hugs, Marty
ReplyDeleteAWESOME idea!
ReplyDeleteMaybe Junkin Jewel's or Junky Booty, or Junky Treasure Trove Party.... I dont know, I'm sure you'll come up with an awesome name. I hope you do it. NICE finds too, by the way.
Love the Junkin Bookcase! My bookcases are full of my junkin finds of the past, as well as sentimental gifts and things I received over the years from family. Never thought of putting framed art in them, I like that idea.
ReplyDeleteI am not the thriftiest or the cleverest but I would participate if I had something to share.
Totally diggin' all things birds--cute find! And I'd totally participate in your linky party. Me and thrift store finds, we're tight. Steal Ollie's slogan--"Good Stuff Cheap."
ReplyDeleteAnyone can create a beautiful home spending a lot of money. You have a special gift of creating beauty from 'junk.' I love that! I would love to participate in your link party. Those birds are adorable and so on trend. Keep up the treasure hunting. I always enjoy seeing what you find.
ReplyDeleteI am currently addicted to all things brass...and birds for that matter! LOVE your find!

Patience
Wonderful finds! That mirror is great. And I love the little brass birds! Thank you for sharing them with us at TTF and have a happy November 1st!
