My Thrifty Finds

I have been scouring the thrift stores lately looking for a nightstand for Allie's room. I have something very specific in mind so it's been very hard to find (but hopefully soon I'll find 'it'!) I have a shopping disease where even if I go into a store for one specific thing, I can't help but walk through some other aisles, looking for 'something'. Well, a couple weeks ago I was at Goodwill and found some great things! No, not a nightstand, but these four things cost me $9 TOTAL!...
Metal & bookend - this thing is HEAVY, pure metal - $3

Perfect for the office

White shelf - $3

Little compliment to Allie's new kitchen. I can't figure out if I should leave it white or paint it brown and I need to put some more things on it.

Apple snack cups - $2

I thought these things were absolutely adorable. They are plastic with pretty secure lids. Allie loves using her 'apple cups'

Vintage looking fabric - $1

This was my find of the day. It was a weird cut of fabric, I had NO idea what it was used for and no idea what I was going to do with it but I couldn't pass it up. When I got home, I kept looking at the scalloped bottom and thought it could make a really cute skirt for Allie. So this is what I came up with.

It's hard to tell in the picture but I dyed a thick piece of elastic light pink for the waistband. I think it turned out really cute adn girly. I will post a picture of Allie actually wearing it (because it's even cuter on) but since it's been about 2 degrees outside, we've been living in sweats these days :)

Gotta love Goodwill!
