Today's Thrifty Treasures
his week I'm participating in Rhoda's "Today's Thrifty Treasures" event over at Southern Hospitality. She hosts this every Monday so be sure to check out all the other thrifty finds listed by other bloggers and join in yourself!
Here are a few things I've found recently. Most of what I bring home ends up getting a makeover but a few things are fine "as is".
I bought this elephant clock for $3.99. I transformed it into something completely different and I'm so glad I didn't buy a new clock like I was tempted to do recently. {Edit: See clock transformation here! Stayed tuned - I'll post about the clock makeover tomorrow.}
Silver platter - $1.99
Two large frames - $3.99 each {future project}
Lazy susan - $3.99 {another future project!}
Shoe forms- $3.99
Carved Wooden Box - $1.99
Glass Fleur de Lis Jar - $1.99
Thanks for taking a peek at my thrifty finds and I hope you all have a great week! Oh, and don't forget to check out Dianne's giveaway over at Red House Happenings. If you like aprons, you'll love this one!

Love your finds! Especially the wooden shoe forms and your jar, those are my favorites. Can't wait to see how you make over your clock!
Those are all great finds, and what a steal.
Can't wait to see what you're going to do with all your "treasures" ~ especially your new clock!
Great finds!
Wow! Those are some GREAT finds! I can't wait to see what you do with them!
Wait'll you see the "ugly as sin" chandy I bought this weekend for $4.00. Bought it for a friend to put in her craft room and I know it's gonna be a beauty someday soon. I want to see that clock when you're done.
Great finds! I especially love those frames and that little fleur de lis jar. Your photos are beautiful by the way.
Luuuvvv that Fleur de lis jar. I want it!
OOOh, great finds!!! I can't wait to see what you did with the clock!
I'll post later tonight - I have my office makover that will go in Rhonda's "Thrify Treasures" and Your Make Your Monday!!

All of your finds are fabulous! Can't wait to see what you will do with that clock!
Love your finds! :) I see you have a nice list of future projects just like I do. :)

Thanks, everyone!
I love the silver platter and the shoe forms are fun! Can't wait to see what you do with all your project pieces!
Hmmm, I have some ideas for that lazy susan.....and the clock is cool too. Can't wait to see what you do with all this great stuff!

You found some beautiful items, I can't wait to see what the end result will be!
I just love that jar.
I absolutely adore that fleur de lis jar! That would fit right in my half bath. Great deals, can't wait to see the clock
I adore the clock, can't wait to see what you do with it. Also bought a lazy susan almost identical to yours. What are your plans with it? I thought I would paint it and use it for my cloche, but not sure? Marla
Thanks to everyone that has stopped in this evening! For those wondering about the clock makeover, you can see what I did with it here...
Marla, how neat that you found a similar lazy susan! I'm going to use mine in my studio to hold little cans or containers of art brushes, glitter, or other little things. I'm thinking of painting it either white or red, and painting a number or image in the center of it. I know it will get covered up mostly, hehe...but details, details! Let me know what you end up doing with yours!
I love your clock and how you transformed it!
You did get some great finds. I use to have some of the shoe forms but got rid of them several years ago. Looking forward to seeing your redos.
Great finds. My favorite is the Fleur de Lis jar. Your clock makeover is too cute as well! I love the letter twist!
What great finds! I love the clock (I wouldn't even change it) and the shoe forms the best.
Wonderful finds, all with such great potential! You're going to be having a great time transforming these, I'm sure! That clock looks intriguing, and the lazy susan. Have fun!
Great finds! Love the silver platter and the glass jar! Can't wait to see the clock
I love it all. The frames are really nice. They look like they are good quality.

I love the Fleur de lys jar (well, I'm a Québecer after all!)
what are you gonna do with the lazy susan??
(the other stuff are great, too!)
Thanks! With the lazy susan, I'm planning on painting it white or red and then painting maybe a number on it and using it to hold little containers of paint brushes or glitter, etc., for my studio. :)
