Recent Thrifty Finds

My sister and I like to visit a thrift store in our area during the time they get rid of their old inventory to make room for new inventory and everything is 75% off its ticketed price. We are always able to find some pleasing deals. Here are a few things from our latest trip:

Recent Thrifty Finds, Joyful Homemaking
This wine rack was $5, and I am going to use it to hold rolled towels in the bathroom like I've seen people do on Pinterest, for function and decor.

I think I may put this pretty shovel, which I bought for $1, by my fireplace to fancy it up a bit.

This dainty candle holder was less than a dollar, and I enjoy burning candles this time of year.

I am not sure the original purpose of this expandable. I seem to think my mom had one when I was growing up that had pegs on it, and she hung her coffee mugs on it. However, I have also seen these used to hold rolled up towels. Any other ideas?

This plate and stand was less than a dollar as well, and I loved the color for my kitchen, but I bought it because the house in the picture looked just like the house my husband grew up in, and I had to show him!

Not terribly exciting, but this little organizer for my spices was just a few cents, much less expensive than a regular store.

You may have seen these darling bowls on some of my recipe posts!  They were delicate and elegant, and even though they only had four, I felt compelled to buy them for about $1.
So there are my favorites from my last bargain hunting trip. Hope you are finding some great deals your way as well!
Blessings,

    Not sure of the size but the expandable looks like a wooden wine rack. Could use it for rolling pins or bottles.

    The expandable also looks like a wine rack to me. It does look a fun find whatever the use! I like the shovel. Stopping by from Frugal Friday.

    The wine rack will make a great wall display and a great place for rolled up towels. I did this in our previous home and it made a great wall statement. Decor and function in one. ๐Ÿ™‚
