thrifty finds

i found some great things today.  it took a lot of effort and by the time the girls and i got home we were plain tuckered out.  even though i had only mapped out five stops, we ended up making SEVEN {exhausting!}  here's what i came home with.

three matching square frames with a great greek key detail.  awesome chunky mattes too.
two glass bowls which zac is insisting are ash trays...does anyone know?  am i the proud owner of a couple cute ash trays?


and most importantly two coffee tables and two end tables.  all in all, a successful days work.

  2. The one on the right is an ash tray, but the one on the left does not appear to be one. Still did a great job!

  3. I think they might be ash trays...but you know what? Make your own reality!

    I cannot believe you went to seven thrift stores WITH YOUR KIDS. I am literally bowing down right now.

  7. You should have brought the girls to me!!! We would have loved it! Next time for sure. Think how much more room you would have in your car!

  8. I have the "ash tray" on the right in clear glass. It was my Grandmother's and she used it as a candy dish. Does that make you feel better? Great finds!
