Latest Thrifty-ness

I feel like I've gone through a long dry spell at the thrift store lately. Besides the bamboo trays I bought last week it's been slim pickins. I don't know if it competition from other people looking for similar things or if people haven't been donating as much the last few months.

All this changed however yesterday when I popped in just looking for a picture frame to repaint. I found a few goodies to fill my basket!

First up is this pair of chairs:



The last thing I need in my life right now is chairs but they were only $5 each! I thought they had good detail and would be worth making over. 



I'll probably pawn them off to a friend when I'm finished overhauling them.

Next up is this lovely duo-


I found the frame I needed and winner of a tray circa 1975 (I'm guessing?)


Both these guys will be hard to recognize when I'm done with them!

Have you had any luck at the thrift store lately? Or have you encountered a dry spell as well?
