This week I'm showing my "thrifty" treasures in my living room. We inherited these old gold drapes when we purchased this house 1 1/2 years ago. One day I spied this valance in a Thrift Store for $50. & it followed me home....

At the same Thrift Store my DH found this heavy old brass cherub lamp on a marble base for $10. & with a new shade from Wal-Mart, it is now looking kind of spiffy....

We happened on this little cabinet for $17. one day & the next thing we knew, it had followed us home too....

*

Here is a close up and some of my junque I have stored in it...

I stole this idea from Lewis4 from RMS...she placed empty
frames around frames & I did that here over the little table...

It is a thrifty frame around a Home Interiors Victorian mirror with a little girl's portrait...
The mirror was only $10. & I forget the price on the outer frame, but it couldn't have been much or I wouldn't have bought it... (Social Security $$ doesn't go very far ya know!)

And lastly, I waited on this little inlaid table to come down in price to $15. at my favorite Thrift Store & brought it home.
My grandson says my house looks like an old lady's house (in a sweet way) and by golly...I have to agree with him....with all my old junque, it does...but it makes me happy!
