Thrifty Finds I Adore | I {Heart} Vintage Quote

2012-05-27T17:08:00.000-05:00

It's Sunday, but that doesn't mean the weekend has to end...

I totally LOVE three day weekends! SO much fun to still be had!

Top on my list so far this weekend was a fun Vintage Shop!

Check out the treasures I fell in love with....I {HEART} Vintage!

You may have seen the chippy side of the road box that I turned into frames {here}.

Seeing this darling yellow chippy wood stool sure does tempt me to add some yellow

to those darling easy pic change, picket frames....hmm...still thinking on it!

I've been eying these all year long, it's summer and I think the time is officially here

for me to buy a galvanized bucket to serve drinks at our parties...I love that this one has a stand!

There are always tons of ways to use shutters. This one was a little more than

I wanted to spend, but I'm going to hit my thrifty antique store soon...I can't wait!

Rustic stepladders are so cute incorporated into the design of a home, seeing
this one for $40 makes me kick myself for passing on the Estate Sale ladder that
was only $12.50 on the last day 50% off sale....why do I do that to myself!?!?

I'm not sure what I would do with this vintage typewriter,

except maybe pose pics with it ALL the time...so CUTE!?!?!

And also on my list is a vintage window, although I live in an older

neighborhood and keep crossing my fingers that I'm going to see some in
bulk trash soon!?!? Free is ALWAYS my favorite price tag!

Do share what thrifty finds you cam by this weekend...something free on the

side of the road?!?! A vintage piece that you forked over some pretty pennies for because

you couldn't live without!?!? I LOVE hearing about your fabulous finds!!!

Shaklee's Household Cleaner {Giveaway}

2012-05-26T07:00:00.000-05:00

I was making popcorn this week and in the rush of getting my sweet B's snack finished, I didn't cover the butter in the microwave! Oops! On a normal day I'd be bummed, but I had just received a package from Krysta with a little sample vial of Basic H and I was excited to give it a try! Each little vial holds enough to make two bottles of powerful cleaner when diluted in 16 oz. of water. It was totally simple to mix up my bottle of Basic H cleaner and it cleaned my microwave perfectly, removing all the butter and all the other grime, as well!

MY MICROWAVE {Before/After}

Basic H can be used indoors or out! It works on walls, windows, mirrors, countertops, floors, appliances, stoves, sealed woodwork, pots and pans, and furniture! It is nontoxic, natural, doubly concentrated, and has biodegradable surfactants! And right now, Shaklee is offering a special allowing you to join free with Vitalizer.

Would you like to try Basic H cleaner, too?!! Krysta who blogs at Steen Health Solutions is giving FIVE of my readers the chance to win ONE vial of Basic H! To enter you will go to Krysta's shop and then come back and comment on my blog, the product you are interested in and would like to try! Once you've done this, use rafflecopter to submit your entries!!! Must be US Resident and 18+ years old.
