I've been doing a bit of thrifting here and there and a bit of decorating with it all......
This is the top of my new computer amoire recently purchased at the thrift store. It rode around in the back of my mini van for a week until I could find someone to help me haul it up the stairs and into my apartment. It is really heavy! Luckily a neighbor and a friend came to my rescue. What would we do without good friends and neighbors!

I pulled together several pieces that I've had for quite awhile--no new finds here. I figured though that all total my cost of items here excluding cabinet was only 5.00. If it wasn't something that I bought at thrift store or garage sale it was something that was given to me. For instance the chicken on the top shelf I scored for a $1.00 at a garage sale about 6 years ago. True shoestring decorating.
The whole cabinet. It looks way better than old computer desk did and gives me more storage and a new spot to decorate.
I found this really cool old bowl today for only $4.50. It's heavy and has been well used. I love the soft yellow color to it. It looks like clay or pottery under the chips and has no markings that I can see anywhere.
Then I found this very large sewing basket in near perfect condition for only $5.50. It's a pinky color, not red like it looks here. I love it!
And then the inside. Very pretty and roomy. The little tag at the inside top of the lid says Designed Exclusively for Pennys.I just love finding great thrift store treasures. I'm ready to go again!
