My Scores at the Thrift Store

July 18, 2016 By stylishrevamp Leave a Comment

This summer is flying by much too quickly. In fact, I was almost in tears today when I saw the back to school supplies out at the local drug store. Really, can we not just enjoy the month of July before we have to prep for school? #dreadingit

We just got back from a vacation with my 4 brothers and their families and it was the best! I am so sad that it is over.  I cannot even put into words how great this beach trip was for all of us!  I am happy that my boys were able to spend time with my side of the family.  I hope we can do it again next year!

I was actually able to hit up a few thrift/antique stores and a Goodwill while on vacation.  I picked up a few fun things for the Gman for his birthday in August.  I will share those later.

Today has been a day of getting back on track after almost a month of traveling. I went to the gym this morning and I treated myself to some thrift shopping afterwards.  I scored big today, for me anyway!

My thrifting scores

I am always on the hunt for white dishes and serving ware. Today I picked up two large pieces that were originally from Potterybarn. I scored a large serving bowl and a large platter.

I also found a white planter for my little Olive Tree.  I have always wanted an Olive Tree.  I am not sure how long this one is going to last.  He was looking a little droopy when we got home from the beach.

I also scored two corning ware bowls that are range top, oven and microwave safe.  These bowls are so convenient for the day to day meals and snacks. I think I now have a total of 6 of these bowls that I have picked up over time.

Lastly, I am sharing another cloche.  When I first saw it, I thought it would look good on the book case in my home office.  It was another thing that I walked by and thought, if it is still there when I am done searching the rest of the  shop, I will pick it up.  It was there and it was 50% off…I spent  a whopping $2 on it.

I keep adding little bits to my bookcase.  I need to post another update on the styling of it.  I keep the base objects the same and just add or rearrange the rest.  It is hands down my favorite DIY that my husband and I have done together.

Well, that is all for today.  I hope you have enjoyed a glimpse into my thrifting adventures.

Until Next Time,

Gift Wrapping Ideas for Christmas

December 7, 2015 By stylishrevamp Leave a Comment

Now that the majority of my Christmas decorating is complete, I have time to start wrapping some of my gifts. Each year, I think I am going to wrap the same day that I buy a gift.   This NEVER HAPPENS… ever!  Instead, what I do is hide it in the closet and actually forget what I have bought and where I have hidden it.  Then I have a minor panic attack when I can’t find something.  I have always kept a journal with all the gifts I have bought with the receipts because I usually Christmas shop all year round.  I like picking up things when we travel if I see something unique.

I  actually like to wrap gifts, especially when I am not feeling stressed for time.  I like coming up with ideas and different ways to make my wrapped packages special.

Christmas Wrapping Ideas

This year I am using items that I have found at consignment shops, The Dollar General Store, PotteryBarn, and T.J. Maxx.

Vintage Pins and Brooches from a consignment shop.

I was at a consignment/antique shop a few years ago when I spotted these vintage pins and brooches.  They were in a baskets dumped in a ziploc baggie.  The basket had a mix of things like jewelry, buttons, and other odds and ends.  I found this bag full of Christmas pins and I thought they were so cute.  My mom used to buy me Christmas pins when I was little to wear on my coat. Maybe that’s why I like them so much.  Instead of wearing them though, I decided to incorporate them into my gift wrapping.

Vintage Holiday PinBrooch

Last year once the Holiday was over, I was shopping in PotteryBarn and spotted these glittery initials on clearance.  I thought they would look nice on a package rather than using a gift tag. This year, I found some glittery letters at Jo-Anne Fabric as well.

Glittery letters from PotteryBarn used as gift tags.

 The Dollar Store and the Dollar General Store both have a lot of things to use for making your gift wrapping unique and special. I found this reindeer at The Dollar General Store.  It came in packs of two.

They have both gold and red reindeer.  I also like to pick up all my Holiday tissue paper, tape, boxes and gift card boxes at the Dollar Store.

The last idea I am sharing is this adorable gift bag from TJ Maxx.

Giant Gift bag from TJ Maxx

This gift bag is awesome.  It’s made of thick red canvas with a soft white faux fur trim and white lettering.  It is thick and sturdy not to mention so darn cute! I am filling this up then shipping it out soon!

I hope you have enjoyed my Gift Wrapping Ideas for Christmas!  Have a good week!

Until Next Time,
