Thrifty Treasures

Monday is Thrifty Treasures day over at Rhoda’s blog, Southern Hospitality.  Be sure to visit Rhoda to see this week’s treasures.

I visited our local DAV a few weeks ago and found a few things that had to come home with me.  I collect planters and found two to add to my collection.  I never see these at Goodwill and was surprised to find them at DAV for an inexpensive price.

I love both the color and the pattern of this planter.  It was only $2.00! 

I don’t see orange in this type of planter very often and was so excited when I looked at the bottom and saw that it was only $1.00.

These candlesticks were $2.00 each.

I decided to paint them white for a summery look.

I feel like I really scored with my $7.00 total purchase.

I put my new planter on display in my kitchen.  The shelves on the corners of my cabinets are small but perfect for displaying treasures like these.

I displayed some of my white planters on the opposite side of the room.

I am using another planter to hold my kitchen sponge.

A larger one is adorning my kitchen table right now.  Soon I’ll gather some green Osage Orange balls to fill it.

Sometimes I group my planters to make a display.

I love collecting planters because the designs and colors are interesting and they are useful.  They also are pretty cheap in antique stores and are something that can be found most everywhere.

Be sure to head over to Southern Hospitality to see everyone’s treasures for this week!
