candy dishes

i've been slowly collecting these cute candy dishes from the d.i. for the last couple of months now and am amazed at how often i've been finding them!

aren't they cute? i'm just itching to throw a baby or wedding shower so that i can show them off!


milk glass candy dishes: $1 a piece

ties!

despite being pregnant with my first boy, i really haven't been too excited about shopping for clothes for him, because well, let's face it... boy's clothes just aren't as fun to shop for as girls'.

however, there's nothing cuter than a little boy all dressed up, and i found these children's ties at the good ol' d.i. for $2!

i think they'll look perfect with a mini suit!

child-sized ties: $2 a piece

black beauty

i found this clock yesterday for two bucks (for some reason i have a "thing" for clocks) but alas, i forgot to take a "before" picture. it was pretty ugly, trust me. so my awesome husband spray-painted it black for me and now it's hanging beautifully in my office!

ornate clock: $2

vessel sink

i bought this vessel sink a while back, and it is definitely my favorite thrift store find to date. i found it while we were still living in our townhome, but for $5 i KNEW i couldn't pass it up and figured we could put it in a future house.

once we bought our current house i was so excited to finally be able to put it in a bathroom. the first picture is of how the bathroom looked when we moved in and the rest are "after" pics!

vessel sink: $5

polka dot clock

when i first saw this clock at the d.i. i couldn't decide if i liked it or not. but the more i looked at it i thought it would be kind of cute in the baby's nursery.

plus it was only a buck, so i figured if i hated it i could just toss it. i'm really glad i grabbed it!

polka dot clock : $1

pretty in pink

i found this cute wooden baby doll high chair the other day and fell in love with it. beside the fact that it was a bit dirty, it was in great shape.

so after a thorough cleaning of bleach and water and a fresh coat of pink paint, it now fits in perfectly with the rest of the girls' playroom furniture!


baby doll high char: $3

new finds!

i went on quite the discount shopping spree today! i found tons of fun stuff, but i think i'll span my purchases throughout several posts.

first, i bought this pretty white vase and decided my orchid would look fab in it!


white porcelain vase: $1.50






also, my sister-in-law darby, bought a bunch of cute skirts from a thrift store a while back, and until then, i had never thought to look for clothes at a thrift store. but, i too found some awesome skirts today! i love the nautical look of the first one and the stitching detail of the second one!


skirts: $4 each
