Thrifty tabletops from GW

Last week the winds of change blew in like a storm!   First off, I offered my very first giveaway here in blogland!  Woohoo!!!  For more info on that and how to enter please be sure and go here!  Additionally, after being bombarded with a string of bad luck the week before and during our vacation, this past following week was quite a welcoming change!  Not only did I find some fantastic deals last week at GW and the local yard sales, I received a call for a temporary job assignment this week.   Today I worked from 9:00am until 5:00pm doing clerical work for a real estate firm.  I'll be there the rest of the week now too!


I know you are thinking, didn't she say she had a background in retail?  Yep!  You would be correct!  However, when a friend calls for help and the position is temporary with the possibility of being something more, I'd say it's worth adventuring into!  Nothing ventured, nothing gained right?  Well, that's where I am today, and Boy, am I exhausted this evening!  However, not too exhausted to show you my latest finds from GW last week.  It's always interesting visiting our GW, but again I say, nothing ventured..nothing gained!


The first thing I spotted in my adventures was these useful goodies!  At $3.50 each I just knew they had to come home with us, I was sure the Mr. and I would find these useful!

A nice pair of T.V. trays!  Boy, are we getting old!  LOL!

I just love the bamboo weave on the trays!

I also found two dinner plates for .60 cents each in my fruit pattern from Gibson.

  Did you notice those napkin rings?  They are the silver ones I got at the garage sale this weekend, all painted white now! 

These trays will come in handy on the weekends for those Friday and Saturday night movies!

I also found this cute wrought iron clock stand for only $2.50.  Perfect in the kitchen!

It looks great over here by my Rooster on this side table in the kitchen.

Last but not least, I found this cute little "Bistro" sign for a whopping .50 cents.  Since I have very limited wall space left for displaying such a cute sign in the kitchen....

I decided to prop it up above our chalk board command center!  Not too bad!

I am linking with the following parties today.  Be sure and visit these sites for more similar posts about great bargains and decor.  You won't be disappointed!   You might even come away with a bit of inspiration too.  I know I always do!
