I found these items at the thrifty store – no spray paint needed, LOL !
A great big heavy pitcher for $3.99
A wire basket – with the new tags still in place for $1.99
A spoon rest for $1.99
Don’t forget to scan the craft area of the thrift store…I purchased two bolts, two different times. Here is fabric I can use. Each for $2.99- that is a super buy.
Linen Look fabric – looks like my burlap but way softer. I have many plans for this baby.
This fabric matches my daughters room – I think there is plenty to make curtains and other things. Woo Hoo !
I have a few more large projects that I am working on , or sitting in line ready to be worked on. My youngest, starts high school tomorrow so I have been busy school shopping and such.

Boy in British Columbia, Canada our kids don't start back to school until after the first weekend in September on the Tuesday. The Monday is Labour Day here.
How cool is that bling tree. Great idea Kammy and she picked a really fab color.
Hey Kammy,
You always come up with the coolest things! Cute little bling holder and I like that wire basket and am looking for one myself. Cindy
That is a wonderful idea for a jewelery tree for any age--keeps those necklaces from getting tangled! Love the color!
you DO find great finds! i've never seen bolts of fabric in any thrift stores around here. lucky you!
have a great week -
Love all of your treasures. They are really great. I never thought about looking for fabric, what a great find. I can't wait to see what all you do with it. Hugs, Marty
Kammy,
Great finds. Love the material. I am never lucky enough to get a whole bolt, but I was able to get the 5 1/2 yards I needed for my sofa.
Sandy
You always find the coolest things! I can't believe the bolts of fabric. I would have pounced on those too.
I'm a sucker for wire baskets! Super cute!
I love that blue holder for the jewelry. I will be looking for one of those next time I thrift the GW!
Great finds, Kammy. I also like your makeover!
Great idea for the bling...and great finds...I always love your lovely photos...
Cute as a button Kammy.
My powder room is the same color of your bling tree.
Have fun with all that fabric!
Happy MM

That fabric was such a great deal. I love what you did w/ the necklace holder too
Great finds! Love the white pitcher!
Great job on the bling holder! Now that was an inspired repurposing idea! And the fabric, be still my heart! I am a total fabric junky!
Great finds again. I'm always on the lookout for fabric at my thrift stores and have found some great buys along the way, but never bolts of fabric! What a deal. I like the bling holder, great idea for all of us with too many necklaces.
Love the transformed towel holder into the bling bling tree!! I had a wire basket like that and gave it to GW. What was I thinking? This was before I discovered spray paint. LOL
:-) Sue
Great finds!!! Love the burlap looking fabric!!!
Thanks for stopping by. Don't look to close - or you will see where the sticks are missing. :-)
I've never seen fabric on a bolt at a thrift store. So much fabric for the price. Can't wait to see what you do with it. Sally
Terrific idea for the bling tree. Yesiree, you snag the best stuff. Those dishes in the previous post are amazing Kammy!
XOSue
How cute is that bling holder? Love the color, but what are you doing? Where's the black? You won me over to black spray paint, now you're switchin on me? Lol.
Btw, check out my blog when you get a chance, you're in my post this week. Toodles!
You always find cool things.
Come for a visit.
Its So Very Cheri
Kammy
I love the necklace holder. Great idea. I love that white pitcher...I've been looking for one like that at GW. Congrats on the fabric too. Can't beat it!
Blessings,
Traci
More great ideas, your wheels must be spinning all the time, because you can really come up with the best transformations! Have a great day!
Great job with the bling bling holder Kammy- love it! That white pitcher you found is a treasure, is it ironstone?
Fun finds and great post.
Happy Monday.
Okay...how far is it from my house to where you shop????!!!??? You always find the neatest things! I love the white pitcher, the spoon rest, and the wire basket.
Great finds!
Love your makeover
Oh what awesome finds! The jewelry holder is so cute!
Kammy,
on one of my posts you asked if i work, or just thrift all the time.=) I'm not sure i answered your question.
i own my own little gift shop. Opened it a year ago May.
It is great fun, and gives me a reason to thrift a lot.
In summer, I go to as many garage sales as i can, as in the winter here (9 months) there are none. They are a lot more affordable than thrift stores.
I also paint, teach classes, and do a variety of hand-crafted treasures. I have 6 local craft people who put things in my store. I am every much a 'support your local artist' person.
My gift shop is only open 3 days a week, so i have time for grand kids, friends, church, and of course, thrifting. =0))
It's a good life!!
Blessings,
Barbara jean
Great post!
I especially love the idea of using the little towel holder for jewelry! I love 'outside the box'!
All the best,
Eileen
Wow great job on the fabric find!!
Happy finds you must have a really nice GW and looking forward to seeing the new window treatments. Hope school gets off to a good start.
Hats off to you ;-)
Those are killer deals - that fabric gave me so many ideas :D
Hi Kammy! Oh, love how you turned that little three armed thinging into the beautiful blue jewelry holder! Can't wait to see what you do with all of that fabric.
Be a sweetie,
Shelia ;)
Great finds, girl!! Love the white pitcher and the fabric.
I also like your transformation too. What a pretty color.
Love your finds! What a cute jewelry holder, you are so creative! I love love love that green material!
Hello Kammy - what a cool bling holder you've made! Love it. Great finds. The little ivory basket is so sweet.
Blessings,
Marie
