Thursday Shopping Thrills

I stepped outside this morning and sniffed good deals in the air, so I hit the road. Check out this pile o' goodies!

That metal sculpture (on the left) that might have once been a lamp? Mine!
Good Stuff
I got 4 of these fun chippy shutters.

Prepare yourself. This is cool. What is it? I dunno. A tractor bumper?

And here is that rocker that I mentioned earlier this week. More pics can be seen here. Super clean. Super comfy. It's good.

I absolutely love the smell of bargains! Don't you?

Happy Thursday!

    I bet those bargains smelled REAL GOOD!

    I bought a wire basket like your tall one while I was up at Warrenton. It looked to me like a great laundry basket for my oldest son. He still brings his laundry home. LOL

    Happy hunting,
    Teresa

    I think that it is a truck bumper. It would make a nice border and trelis in a garden.

    Mindy - I took a nap in the afternoon and got my biorhythms all out of wack. I found three of those steel bin things today at an estate sale. $6 for all three.
