Finds and changes

It's that time again for everyone to show their thrifty finds. Be sure and join the party at Rhoda's Southern Hospitality to see all these thrifty finds. I'll also be participating in Susan's at Between Naps on the Porch for Metamorphosis Monday.

I am so excited about this find. I have been looking for a rug for under my dining room table for a while. I really am a frugal shopper, I try not to pay full price for anything unless I absolutely have to....so when I found this rug at a yard sale Saturday, I was estatic. The rug is 9 x 11 and fits perfectly under my table and the colors are perfect. And the best part.....it was only $20.00. Of course no camera can make anything look exactly how beautiful it is, at least my camera doesn't, but here it is.

Do you see the little pears in the rug, love it.
Well, that's my thrifty find for the week, but I think its a good one.

Now, this is a thrifty find I found a couple of weeks ago and transformed it a little.

I think the difference speaks for itself.

Be sure and check out these ladies parties today and be inspired.
