It had been a few weeks since I could go Thrifting....my days have been filled with work and volunteering, doing taxes and sick parents, the boys birthdays and life in general so it was a fun escape to get out the other day and hit my fave spot - I never leave that place empty handed! The day I went was 1/2 off day! I got this wonderful working radio (1934) for $25.00 the cabinet is all wood and the dial is all aged yellow and I love the shape and detail on it - a great patina brass candelabra for $3.00, two wooden candlesticks for $2.00 each and a huge wicker basket for $1.00! The plastic hat form is for Kristen, she always needs these and it was $1.00 as well. 
I put the candelabra on the mantle and love the patina on it...it goes really well with the old world stuff I have on the mantle right now...it has lots of scroll work on it and is really heavy 
I put one of the wooden candlesticks near the hearth and Dylan put his pine cone that he found for me on it....he wants to make bird feeders with pine cones, peanut butter and birdseed - what a great idea! 
I filled the wicker basket with my fluffy duck and lots of empty fill and thrill eggs...just waiting to be filled with goodies for our annual Easter Egg hunt.Cheap Thrills~aren't they the best?
