It's thrifty Thursday again

On Saturday i got up nice and early to go garage sale hunting, I was on a mission and super excited to go! which is not normally me, I am not an early morning person at all . The first few garage sales were CRAPOLA and not worth getting up early for , but the next one was perfect .. I got all of these yummy pieces (yeah they look really dodgy now, but you have to look at their bones ) they have good bones and with a little imagination and some paint they are going to look fabbo


She had $15.00 on the piano stool with the padding Pfffft What ev's lady, then she said to me becasue she saw me looking at them  "you can have that for $5 if you like" ... "yep" gotta have that, i thought  hehe
I walked out of that garage sale with these items in my arms except the piano stool with the ugly vinyl, (I came back for that one) I was a happy girl ..... next was a deceased Estate you should have seen how busy it was, people lining up just to get in the back yard CRAZY! it was meant to start at 9 am but there were people there way before then walking out with arms FULL of stuff . It was like a mini maze too, heaps of stuff everywhere .. So i picked up this beauty for my girls for $10.00

You should have seen the excitement on their little faces when i showed them what i had picked up for them  PRICELESS ! 
at the same place i also got this suitcase 
for $2 ....yippee i have great plans for this baby that includes legs on her and a new facelift ..




This piano stool is going to be painted white i think with a music sheet top, to replace the ugly vinyl ick! i will also give her a vintage type of look ..


This stool is going to be painted a charcoal or black with a burlap printed top Ooh sounds nice doesn't it.. i have bought the burlap now just have to be patient and wait for the post man to deliver it ...insert  Girly squeal here !!
This lot plus a potted rose and 2 other pretty plants and a couple of books for my girls cost me $40   happy dance for me !! can't wait to get stuck into them and show them off .
What did you buy this week ??
