Beat any Tuesday "Bluesdays" with a little thrift

Not that I'm counting, but although I've only been under-employed for 11 business days the budget crunch is beginning (yuck, gross, blah). To relieve some pent up lack-of-shopping-frustrations I allowed myself $10 to splurge at The Closet in Herndon today.

As you may recall, this is the same store I snagged my cherished lamps not so many weeks ago for $5.50/set so I knew $10 had potential to go far!

I left exuberant with a bag filled to the brim!

Antique replica bacon press to be used as kitchen decor ($1.50), painted wood frame for future project ($4.00), single-flower-sized vase ($.50), knit dollie ($.25), yellow lace handkerchief ($1.00), and paisley scarf ($2.00).

No major life lesson here today just a reminder that lightening can strike twice ! The Closet is sure to remain a favorite hunting spot in future vintage to come!
