I was lazy and snapped them on my phone so the quality is pretty ordinary but anyway...
I picked up this desk at the swap meet a couple of months ago but it's been in the garage ever since. This past week I went on a bit of a cleaning frenzy and made some space for it in my craft room. The question now though...to paint or not to paint? It was $50 but as I ummmed and ahhhed, the seller told me he was not taking it home and I could have it for $30.
My brother in law happened to be having a stall at the swap meet so I sweet talked him into picking it up and taking it home for me. Funny, I was watching the highlights of the local news that night and they had a story on the swap meet. Lo and behold there we are, my brother lugging the desk back to his car and me running along behind yelling out support;) Very funny!
Thrifted this week a couple of pink sheets for $2, one to keep and one for this swap. Are you joining in too?
And my very favourite thing...this gorgeous piece of milkglass.
I love everything about it. The roses design with the stripe and the beautiful scalloped edge. I think after this piece I have decided to officially become a milkglass collector. Oh and the price, just $6!
I hope the thrifting fairies have been good to you this week too.
For more op shopping treasures, have a peek at Her Library Adventures.
