My Thrifty Treasures...

I was handed money again this weekend to go to yard sales! I have the best hubby! This weekend I was fortunate to go out with my sister to check out the treasures! We had a great time! The fabulous Rhoda hosts this weekly get together. Go check it her blog out here and see what other goodies were found. You will be inspired!

I was excited to find a few things for FREE this weekend! Check that free pile too. My sister pointed these out to me. We have had two great camping parties for my boys. These would be fabulous for a tablescape for the camping party. They even look cool on my porch. (Not in this spot though)
I got four of them FREE!

Friday, I picked up Cameron from school early to take the boys to the dentist. I was so thankful that they both got and A or A+ for brushing and no "bugs" in their teeth!! Dr. Rhodes did let me know we need to start saving for braces!...sigh...

Afterwards, I stopped by a thrift store and found some goodies. I am so ready for the warmer weather so the yard sales will be abundant. I love Spring!

I found this adorable clock for Cameron's sports room. Colors are perfect and he loved the flag! I paid $3.50. I would love to paint his dresser like the the cream/brown. Any painting tips on how to create that look?
