Happy National Thrift Store Day!  Who knew that such a day existed?  I for one did not know this!  My first clue should have been the fact that the parking lot to my favorite Thrift Store was packed.  Normally, I can zip right up to the front door but today I had to park in the very last spot furthest away from the shop which is not a big deal but I had just finished a two-hour workout to try to undo the damage of this past weekend…deep fried oreos…need I say more!

Once I got into the store, I couldn’t believe how many people were crowded into the aisles.  It was too overwhelming for me.  This is one time I walked out empty-handed.  I didn’t even care that there was an additional 30% off either. I did my usual quick walk through but did not bother going back through for a more thorough inspection… too much chaos for me.  Since I want to celebrate National Thrift Store Day with you, I will share some of my thrift scores from last week since today’s trip was not a success!

Bargain Shopping…Happy National Thrift Store Day

I found these little gold beauties at Goodwill for mere pennies. More gold accents for my home office, you can never have too many gold accents, right?  The gold pieces are Target salvage.  Our Goodwill has been awesome these past few weeks.  Goodwill has been carrying a lot of Target Salvage, especially a lot of summer clearance items which I need none of even if I love the outdoor tables.

I picked up the lap desk at Goodwill.  Yes, it is another Target Salvage.  I really like the weathered look of the wood on the desk.  It has two levels.  One side of the desk remains stationary while the other piece raises and lowers at different levels. The black metal legs fold up for easy storage. The perfect little find to start the school year off right…ugh!!  Still not ready…I feel like school just let out for the summer!

Lastly, I am sharing my decorative green apples that I picked up at Goodwill.  I have had this little wooden pedestal with nothing to place on it until now. I think this is a perfect little accent to our white kitchen

I wanted to say thank you to  Serena from Thrift Diving for sharing one of my thrift shop finds.  Stop by and check out her blog.  Like I have said before she does awesome work and always finds the best thrifted finds!

I hope you all have a great day.  Happy National Thrift Store Day!

Until Next Time,
