Using what you have (or buy)

So this past week has gone by so fast, that I can hardly believe it's almost over! I haven't even posted the GREAT stuff that hubby and I got last weekend when we went thrifting and garage selling. We even stopped at an estate sale!

Here are the goods: We found a GW Select and I was able to snatch up this little lamp (and the shade - but they didn't come together) for $2.99
These plates were from my fav thriftstore (NAM) and they were $4.99 plus 75% off!!!! They are plain white and super heavy - LOVE THEM!

Again, from my fave thriftstore - a little plastic thingy (don't know what you would call this little thing) for $1.99 (50% off) and my very first piece of MILKGLASS!!!!! I am in love! I got this sucker for $2.99 with 75% off!!!

Here is my estate sale find!!! It's beautiful and is really neat! I got all three pieces for $2.53!!! What a steal!
Oh! and this gem! I have been working on getting something for our dining room - our dining room is really tiny and so I thought my idea for the buffet was not going to work - after measuring, fixing up and just getting things together. While we were at the GW Select, I found this cute little thing! It was $5.99 - when I saw that price, I just could NOT believe it!!! I was sold.
Up close you can tell that they took the little table and put the extra piece of wood at the bottom along with little wheels. I didn't need the wheels, as I would have taken it without the extra piece. So I just look at it like BONUS! for me!
I tried to take a pic showing what it looks like from a far. I have also cleaned it up and put plates and such in it since this pic - so I will take that and update it later tonight (if I remember!)
Hasta!
