National Thrift Store Day!

Did you know National Thrift Store day was August 17th? No? Well neither did I, until last week! I know, I know, today is the 18th, but life happens right? I shared recently that I had joined a #ThriftStoreSwap group. My “swap” items arrived last week from Maureen @ The Fox & Bear Homestead, and I am loving them.
This swap’s theme is Fall, and I am seeing so many Fall possibilities with these items. I have a mini wooden serving tray, a ceramic charger and a swan vase. The purpose of the swap is to be gifted with a few items from your patterns favorite thrift store, and change them into something totally different. Do you have any good makeover ideas for these three items?
 Check out some of my other swap-mates items!

  1. Thrifting is so much fun! I think you could paint the vase a color you like. Gold is very in right now. The serving tray could be great for jewelry or perfume! Might also be something you paint. Good luck, can't wait to see what you decide to do!

  2. Yes, thrifting is celebrated finally! Aka, my entire wardrobe. It ruined shopping at normal places for me though, because everything seems so obnoxiously expensive now! Why spend more when I could pay $10 or less?

  3. How fun! I feel like there is a day for everything now! I feel like painting is always a good idea to change things up, but I'm sure you'll figure out something great!

    Can't wait to see the final products!

  4. This is the coolest idea!! That swan is too cute! I wish I was crafty so I could give you some makeover ideas, but honestly I think they are pretty cute as is!!

  5. There are some amazing antique shops where I live, but they're always closed when I'm heading home from work. The pieces that you received are so neat! I would definitely spray paint the swan – maybe a nice, glossy bubblegum pink? Excited to see what you will do with the items 🙂
