I’ve been inspired by several of you that thrift shop. I found these all in a smaller shop called Hidden Treasures.
I got the pumpkin cookie jar for just $5! I looked it over very carefully and it had the smallest chip on the lid so I was able to get $3 knocked off the price. It is quite large and I think cute to boot. BBC is excited at the idea of having this filled with cookies!
My second find there was the cute acorn. It is now on my mantle and it was a little pricey but worth it to me – $7.50. Finally, I picked up several fabric samples for $0.50 each. I LOVE fabric. I hope to put them to good use and will share what I end up doing with them (if it is worth sharing).

I used to thrift quite often but I guess I got spoiled back when we had two full-time incomes with no children. I am happy to be able to stay home now. It has taken a lot of FAITH and sacrifices along the way and we couldn’t be happier with me being at home.

I am also lucky that I found an amazing work-from-home opportunity. It is a gift from God and it hits on all cylinders – additional income, flexibility, fun, friendships, free vacations, and home decor that’s easy on the budget!

Here are some of the items I have recently scored through this wonderful opportunity…
I got this hurricane by hosting my own catalog party. I bought it with my hostess dollars and ended up spending $6.39 out of pocket! Isn’t it gorgeous for fall? I can’t wait to see how it looks for Christmas.
I also like that it is 3 separate pieces so I can make one big statement or a few smaller ones. So many options!!!
These are the items that I recently earned totally and completely FREE based on a sales incentive offered by the company. It was like Christmas came early when I got all this – did I mention for FREE?! Don’t you just love that hand-painted bowl? And check out what I did with the glass trio – candy corn candles!

So in the end I paid a grand total of $22.59 for all the items in this post – not bad! I love getting a bargain and am so glad I get to share these with you! What are some of your recent finds?

p.s. Wanna learn more about these products, how to get them for FREE, and/or how to give this business a try with little risk and great rewards? Please let me know! I love to share!
