If you’ve read my blog for long, you know two things about me:
1. I’m completely obsessed with decorating my house.
2. I have to do it inexpensively. (One income, three people…you do the math!)
There are some things that I’m always keeping an eye out for when shopping at garage sales or thrift shops.
1. Ball (preferably blue) mason jars and vintage glass
2. Interesting frames
3. Milk glass
4. Interesting vintage pieces
5. Furniture that just needs a little TLC and spray paint
What do you look for while thrifting?
Have a great day!
These are good tips for the novice garage saler.
You should link this to What’d You Do This Weekend? I really like your collections.
Wishes for tasty dishes,

Thanks, Linda!
I keep my eyes open for glass dishes and pieces, as well as good woven storage baskets! I also love finding inexpensive wooden furniture I can paint and resell. 🙂
I’ve seen so many cute spray painted basket projects lately…that’s a good idea to look for them! 🙂
I look for all those things as well, especially the frames and mason jars! I also love finding some cheap DVDs, but those aren’t very crafty haha
DVDs…good idea! Especially for Miss L., then I won’t care if she destroys them! 🙂
I need to do more thrifting! I like to, but it’s hard to look really well when I take the C’s with me. All of your cute finds have inspired me, though! I’m going to go soon!!!

Wow!! I look for the same things!!!
My list is pretty similar – I love globes and lamps too – I love redoing old lamps:)
I love old furniture, old pictures, and old jars.
