Thrifty Thursday......

When I first decided to do "Thrifty Thursday"...I thought perhaps once a month I would share my thrift shopping with you...

But.......

Last week was SO fabulous, I had to do another one this week...

Picked up 3 eyelet bedskirts...
2 twins and 1 double...$5 for all 3!!!

Can you believe that????

I couldn't wait to get to the cottage...and put them into use...

The twin beds look soooo much better with the skirts...really softens the look...The quilts have a good story...One of them is from my daughters room, when she was in a twin bed...the other I found at Bi-Way [remember bi-way!!!] after we bought the cottage...such a stroke of luck...
This room also houses most of my paint-by-number finds over the years... don't you just love paint-by-numbers??  I remember doing them when I was a kid...gosh....wish they were still around...  We also had this window put into this room, as it is not on the water side, and needed some more light...as it faces west, it added lots of sunshine and warmth...  :o)

The iron bed came with the cottage, and when we purchased new twin mattresses, I simply put the footboard as the 2nd headboard...

The double bed, is the other guest room..

On the water side, it gets plenty of light and breezes from the lake..


The bed skirt really finishes this up, as well...more cosy and inviting...

The side pink and green table is the original paint color, from the previous owners...the head board looks like wood, but is actually made of Tin...
I removed the footboard, when we purchased the new mattress and box...

I really like this room...  :o)

The wooden carving above the bed was another thrifty buy for $1... I have actually found 3 that are similar...kind of a wooden inlay design...the others are downstairs in the living room...

The 2 praying girls also came with the cottage...

This is our bedroom....

Got us some new Tommy Hilfiger sheets,so after making the bed up....I took a picture....

They are really nice cotton....

Had a great sleep on them last weekend...

The dresser came with the cottage...

My daughter painted it yellow for me...

The bedrooms were all dark brown panelling...they have all been painted...

One yellow...
One blue...
One pale green...

All Martha Stewart colors...love them!!

Picked up this cute cream and sugar for $1...

I love the 3 square legs,
and the circles at the top..

Nice chunky handle, as well..

This pair of pillowcases was my last purchase that day...

After washing and ironing, I realized they were actually crocheted with cotton yarn on the edges...

A row of crochet....white rick-rack...
A row of pale pink, dark pink, and white cotton yarn after the rick-rack...

Beautiful!!!!!

$1.......

         So.......What do you think????  I spent a grand total of $7.50...

                     I think I got some really good thrifty buys...

                         Who knows what this week will bring...

           Hope you all had a good day....


                               Cheers!         :o)
