Weekend Junk #5

It was so nice to get back into my Saturday thrifting routine. I didn’t get quite as much thrifting done as I’d planned to, but I still found some great pieces. If you read my last post you know that we were also going to the Arizona BBQ Festival on Saturday. The food was good and the whiskey samples were even better. We had a blast; I can’t wait for the Arizona Taco Festival. It turned out to be a great Saturday (not just because we started drinking at noon).

Enough food talk…let’s look at my finds from this weekend:

End Table - Savers $9.99

Wood Tray – Estate Sale $0.75

Towel Holder – Savers $2.99

Glass Carafe – Savers $0.99

Silver Bowl – Savers $2.99

And my favorite piece from the weekend:

White Finial – Savers $1.99

I was so excited when I found the towel holder. The master bathroom doesn’t have enough wall space for a towel rack, so I’ve been looking at these in the stores. They are way expensive though. $2.99 is more my price range.

I’m sure you’re asking yourself, "Sam. What are planning to do with some of these pieces?" Well, let me tell you!

End Table – Paint White, Distress and Glaze

Wood Tray – Paint (Color TBD), Paper Inside

Towel Holder – Paint (Color TBD)

Silver Bowl – Paint Black

Did anyone else do some bargain hunting over the weekend? I’d love to see/hear about your finds!

Oh man. I love the white finnial and the end table. Such awesome deals! I wish I had a Sunday thrifting routine, that sounds awesome.

I love that you go thrifting every Saturday! I wish that we lived in the same area, because I think we would be great thrifting buddies!
