Wood, hand-painted bowl from Mexico |

Vintage, dark orange, metal, winding
alarm clock with a ticking that could charm the socks of anyone.
The alarm scared me out of my chair though. |

The 1920's dresser I found on Craig's List, $25!! |

and after--Ta da!!!! |
So in the past several weeks I have found some awesome thrifty deals, and I have found some hard-to-resist, not-so-thrifty deals. I'd like to think this is normal, balance is good right? The bowl and the dresser, super thrifty. The clock and refinishing the dresser, not thrifty. It always evens out in the end, yes?

all AWESOME! especially the dresser!
ReplyDelete~Have a lovely day!
The dresser is amazing! My mother loves oak and I must show her your wonderful find. I really like the bowl, it looks fun!
ReplyDeleteLove that clock and those knobs too!
ReplyDeleteBrad always jokes with me that I actually spend a lot thrifting cause I go so frequently. A few bucks here and there everyday adds up. With the dresser, you recycled and also gave someone work by having it refinished. So I say THUMBS UP. It's gorgeous, by the way!
ReplyDeleteLOVE YOUR STYLE!

I think the dresser is fantastic. They do NOT make furniture as good as they did back then. So you did get a great deal in quality :) (does that justify thrifting? I hope so!)
ReplyDeleteI always tell my husband that it balances out :) He just laughs at me and shakes his head. Love the wooden bowl and that alarm clock is too cute! You rocked it this week my dear!
ReplyDeleteGreat finds! I love Thrifty Thursday and seeing the cool deals everyone got!
ReplyDeleteThanks for sharing.
Oh, that dresser is a find! Beautiful!
ReplyDeleteWow -- the clock is delightful, though I can imagine the scare you got when the alarm went off! What an amazing before and after of the dresser -- you go!
ReplyDeleteS.C.O.R.E. on so many levels :) xo
