G IS FOR:


a "Good Green Get"...

in thrifter slang, that is. 

Do you like to go 'sight seeing' in second-hand shops or thrift stores? 

I've become familiar with many different shops in our area and now know their 'special days' or 'colors-of-the-day' for 25-, 50- or 75%-off deals. 

This week's finds didn't disappoint my hopes for another good deal.  These were 1/2 priced and I KNEW right where they were going to sit once they were washed and dried.

What do you think I paid for these two tall vases? 


Each measures 14"





















They now flank the above-fireplace painting and I think they really help 'lead you into' the trail to see what's in the picture.
(my cost answer is in my comments below)

John 8:31  "If you continue in my word, then you are truly Disciples of Mine; and you will know the truth, and the truth will make you free."
Blessings,

SECOND TIME AROUND...

THRIFTY DECORATING...SAVES SOME MONEY.


(CLICK EACH PIC for a LARGER view).

Decorating with my various 'thrift items' was a fun way to celebrate DD's upcoming trip to Italy...
some Romanesque-type items helped capture a little mood.




The roman silver column: held a candle,

the asparagus platter held grapes,

the olive plate held spanikopita bites,
and the large turquoise/bronze candle holder held a neat pine/orange-immersed candle I had been given as a gift. It made for a rustic Roman table, I think.

It made for a wonderful day of sharing!
