Believe it or not, this die-hard thrifter has been staying out of Goodwill. When I started
cleaning out the basement last year (and I still have a long way to go), I decided I
wasn't bringing in any more stuff that I truly didn't love or didn't have a use for. Since last fall,
I've only been in Goodwill maybe three or four times. A record! From those few times, I did
wasn't bringing in any more stuff that I truly didn't love or didn't have a use for. Since last fall,
I've only been in Goodwill maybe three or four times. A record! From those few times, I did
find three things that I have a use for and have a secret little crush on, too.
I've always wanted a mini Bundt cake pan but I certainly wasn't going to pay $25+.
So I was excited to find one made by Nordic Ware ~ and bonus that it's vintage,
in good condition, and a pretty color, too.
Now to find some delicious bundt cake recipes that aren't heavy on the sugar!
There's two finds in this photo below: the lamp with the clear glass bottom and the large
basket in the middle. I don't know about you, but I can never have too many baskets to help
with organizing just about anything. This one's perfect for holding magazines and the
Sunday newspaper. I've seen similar baskets at places like Hobby Lobby and Michaels
and they're about $25. This one is better quality - it's so sturdy! - and it was only $3.
Now, about that lamp. The Goodwill that I go to gets donations from Target. When I spied
this brand-new Target lamp for $12.99, you'd better believe I snatched it up! I put it in
my cart and then went to a more open area where I could examine it to make sure nothing
was wrong with it. It was perfect. Now I just have to decide what to use to fill the base. I saw
on Kate's Place blog that she turned her clear lamp base into a faux terrarium. I'm still
thinking about that option. Any other unique ideas?
Here's the best part: When I was in Target a couple of weeks ago, I saw my lamp.
I could not believe that it was on sale for $44.99. Original price $49.99. Did I score
a deal or what?!
Have you been thrifting lately? If so, any good finds?
