This past weekend, I had the opportunity to swing by a local festival. I love the ones that feature both local artist as well as good old fashioned "JUNQUE".
It "sounds" better like that!
While there,  I purchased this piece of original artwork in a clearance bin for $10.00. It is an original photograph taken in Germany of a bicycle. The photograph was then digitized. I like the look of it, and for $10.00 it was a bargain. I am clueless as to where I will put it in my house.



I collect antique boxes (among other things). I purchased this orange box for $6.00 and a black one for $8.00


I also purchased some silver candles for $3.50


This silver "Jesus statue" (from Mexico) for less than $4.00.


***************************************
I am not participating in tablescape this week. For me this past week of running kids around, followed by a weekend getaway. There might have been food (ok, who am I kidding....probably to much food) but as far as tablescapes...they took a hit.

Such is the glamourous life of being a mom.....
but I wouldnt trade it for anything!
I encourage you to visit my friend Susan of Between Naps on the Porch for some great Tablescape Thursday participants.



 I invite you to stop by my food blog, PLATES & PLACES, for Foodie Friday!

Thanks to all of you for stopping by and participating in today's Thrifty Thursday. Please use Mr. Linky below to link up your blog.
I encourage you all to spread the love and visit the other thrifty Thursday participants, for that's what half the fun is. Aside from seeing a cool treasure it's making friends!
You can always visit me on FACEBOOK,

I love me some friends: be they new friends or old friends!
XOXO

Thanks for hosting. For some reason my link to my thrifty party won't link up, but Linky accidentally linked my non-thrifty baby wolf costume. Sorry about that. Hope my correct link will show up:(

Boxes are my absolutely weakness. I love the mystery of trying to figure out what is in them or what was their purpose. Then I like to find new purposes for them. Thanks for sharing and hosting such a great party!
