Trash to treasure

This is what I bought at two thrift stores back in April.  The total was under $10! At both The Salvation Army and at Goodwill, the stores’ slogans made me feel good about shopping there.

Apparently all this “art” is called bric-a-brac, a fun word that evokes (to me) lots of little goodies just waiting for a new use.  My fingers start twitching just thinking of that word.

This personally-painted row of houses (sorry, Judi!) became a “wildflowers” sign:

The square on with the leaves became this, as seen in this previous post.

The three panels became this, as described in this previous post.

And the big one became this, as seen in this previous post.  I still want to give this one away so let me know if you’re interested.

Doesn’t this make you want to run out to a thrift store and see what you can find???
