Double Whammy

Hey everyone! Today I am joining in on two parties. One is Metamorphosis Monday with Susan at http://betweennapsontheporch.blogspot.com/ and with Rhoda for Todays Thrifty Treasures at http://southernhospitality-rhoda.blogspot.com/.

This first one could actually count for both because I bought them at a yard sale for .50 a piece. Here they are when I bought the picture frames, one was green, one was blue and one was red.

I took my trusty black spray paint and gave them a facelift. I love using black in every room. So after I sprayed them, I inserted my pictures and put them on a plate holder I was no longer using and there you go.

That is my Metamophorsis, so be sure and check out Susan's at Between Naps on the Porch for more changes.

Now for a couple of Thrifty finds that I found this weekend. First is a cake plate that I found. I collect cake plates, any kind, any size. I love, love, love them. So when I came across this one for $5.00, I had to get it. It was still in the box, brand new.

Don't you just love the filligree on the side. So pretty and dainty. And look below, it came with a server.

I was real excited about this find.

And finally I found this pitcher. I'm a little partial to pitchers too, but don't have as many of those as I do cake pedestals.

I love that its white and the shape is simple, but I love the handle, it looks like a vine and has a grape leaf attached.

I really love it. Well, thats it for my Thrifty Finds for this week. Be sure and check out Rhoda at Southern Hospitality for more thriftiness.

Everyone have a great day...Debbie

  2. Hi Debbie...Your frames turned out great! Black paint is amazing, isn't it? I love your pitcher and cake plate...the filagree is sooo pretty! Great finds and great prices!
    Don't worry about the link...I just removed those and added the direct link so you're all set. It's a bit tricky the first time but once you do it, it's a breeze after that. Here's a link to a little post that has some detailed directions:

  12. Hey, Debbie, I'm so happy you joined the party! And I just love your cake plate & pitcher. I would have had to snatch those up too with my newfound white obsession.

  13. Fantastic idea with the frames and plate holders. I have an old plate holder that I now have a new idea how to use. Thanks! Great find on the cake plate and server and the pitcher is great.
