Happy Thursday All! My parents and little brother are down for a few days and I have been crazy busy prepping for their arrival. Prior to their arrival, I signed up to guest host another round of Thrift Score Thursday hosted by Brynne from The Gathered Home, Cassie from Primitive and Proper, Corrina from For My Love Of, and Trisha from Black and White Obsession. I love thrifty finds and I love participating in these series and I had a hard time choosing my favorites for the week. I hope y'all enjoy my picks!

My first favorite find is from avery_hungrycaterpillar over at Hou and Me. The tray and mirror were thrifty finds that she purchased for a total of $7.50. I am a lil' jealous! The tray is ABSOLUTELY stunning and has a great amount of inlay detail to leave anyone with a smile on their face....AND THE MIRROR...OMGEEE >>> this reminds me of a thrift store find that I passed up because of a stupid rule I have. Basically, I do not like going into a store and only purchasing ONE item. I know NOT a good rule, I probably should change it. I love this mirror and I am now punching myself in my gut over my mirror lost.

My second favorite find is from Angie from the_decor_adobe. She is one creative chick! >>Check her out, you will see what I see! Anyways, I love how worn this chair looks...It gives off rattan meets native american decor. Get my vibe. I can honestly see this chair in my eclectic living room. Love it!

Now for my find, I found this brass tray made in India (according to the sticker on the back) at my local thrift store. I actually found three trays all different sizes, all with a different design, and all in GREAT condition. I WANTED all three. I did, I did, I did...but I brought the mister with me and he talked me into only purchasing one. Like Always! I wish I could go back and purchase the other ones...I know they are gone. Jess (me talking to myself)---"DO NOT BRING THE MISTER WITH YOU TO THE THRIFT STORE!" That should be my rule, right?

I love all the detail on this tray. It is gorgeous and I hope I can find another one like it or similar. *sigh*

Well, this was my thrift store GOLD score and my top favorites for the week. Do not forget to check out the other thrift score Thursday host's below.

Happy Thursday All!

Yep, I am at it again...I am guest hosting Thrift Score Thursday along side some of my absolute favorite bloggers. If this is your first time hearing about the #thriftscorethursday hashtag party, "Welcome!" The way this hashtag party works is basically all you have to do is share your thrifty finds (from garage sales, Craigslist, flea markets, thrift stores, etc...) throughout the week on Instagram and tag them #thriftscrorethursday. Then on Thursdays Brynne from The Gathered Home, Cassie from Primitive and Proper, Corinna from For My Love Of, Trisha from Black and White Obsession, and a guest host will share their favorite thrift scores on their blog. Yep, #thriftscorethursday is the name of the game and that is how the game is played, no linking up necessary.

Oh my freak! When I saw Clear Cut Crystal Designs Thrift Score Thursday vignette, my jaw about dropped. This was such a cute, perfect area that had to be shared. I love the brass propeller and how it is not attached to anything. It is like a little gem that was once lost and now found. I think it perfect and would look awesome in a little kids room. In this vignette is also a cookbook from 1939 and sewing table with mid-century legs...How awesome is that? I don't know about y'all but this vignette has COOL stamped all over it.

Again...jaw dropping and drooling....Have I mentioned I love faux bamboo and the whole Chinoiserie style? I think I have...and I am absolutely LUSTING over this buffet table. It is so petite and cute and perfect and....everything. Can I say, I am officially jealous (in a good way)! Shavonda from SG Style definitely has style! She is an avid thrifter and has a thing for eclectic decor. She and her partner recently purchased this cute little home filled with vintage charm and I love how she finds pieces and incorporates it into her home so effortlessly. She plans on painting this piece...I cannot wait to see what she does with it. It would look great in any color, but for some reason I think it would look hot in a nice cranberry red paint finish up against that wall....POP!

I saw this post floating around on Facebook and Instagram and I had to post about it because I thought it was an ingenious idea! Stephanie from Casa Watkins purchased a bagel slicer from the thriftstore and turned it in to a cute sponge holder. She chose to add a simple, colorful design to give it an extra oomph...it is so on trend, I love it!

My find for the week is this vintage 1920's (according to my local persian rug man) persian rug. This rug measures approximately 9' x 7' and is full of color. It is the missing link to my dining room and is absolutely stunning... Isn't she a stunner? Here is the AH-mazing part...I purchased this rug from my local thrift store for $15. It originally was priced at $40, but I talked them into selling it to me for $15 due to a blemish on the rug. Honestly, I could care less about the blemish, because you cannot really even see it. I love all the different colors and the history behind it. It is imperfectly perfect and I am so HAPPY I am able to share it with you.

Don't forget to stop by and check out the finds and features from Brynne, Cassie, Corinna & Trisha. Love it...Love you and a BIG thanks to my blogging buddies, Brynne, Cassie, Corinna, and Trisha for allowing me to guest host this week!

Happy Thursday All! Guess what???....I am guest hosting...(Look below)

Yep, you read right....I am guest hosting Thrift Score Thursday along side some of my absolute favorite bloggers. If this is your first time hearing about the #thriftscorethursday hashtag party, I would like to say "Welcome!" The way this hashtag party works is basically all you have to do is share your thrifty finds (from garage sales, Craigslist, flea markets, thrift stores, etc...) throughout the week on Instagram and tag them #thriftscrorethursday. Then on Thursdays Brynne from The Gathered Home, Cassie from Primitive and Proper, Corinna from For My Love Of, Trisha from Black and White Obsession, and a guest host will share their favorite thrift scores on their blog. Yep, #thriftscorethursday is the name of the game and that is how the game is played, no linking up necessary.

If you feel overwhelmed with a piece due to its flaws, the #thriftscorethursday hashtag party has a sister link...#dearTST. For advice on how to repurpose a piece, tag your #thriftscorethursday find with #dearTST to let the Thrift Score Thursday hosts know you are looking for advice. It is as simple as that, then they will get back to you via instagram or email and sometimes they may share #dearTST entries on their Thrift Score Thursday post.

***Now to my favorite thrifty finds...well, I liked them all, but I could only pick three--

There is something about antique pieces that just leaves me drooling. This dresser from Little Home Reloved had me swooning. I mean it is absolutely beautiful and it looks pretty original which I LOVE! I am so happy that they did not paint this piece. I have to admit, it was not only this piece that got me...it was the WHOLE room. Sorry to change the topic, but look at the surrounding area....It has this charming chic feel to it. >>>Which I LOVE, come on now...this room is so hip it is cool.

I am pretty sure, I have made my brass madness known...if not, I want to proclaim..."I am totally down with the brass!" Suite 22 Antiques found this 9 pound, 13 inch tall horse head which I am so intrigued by. You just do not find brass horse heads now a days...I mean, I have seen wooden ones and chrome ones, but never a brass one. I think what I like most about this piece is that it has that traditional style to it and that it is heavy and not brass plated. It is gorgeous and I could only imagine it gracing the shelves of somebody's library.

If only I could find a bamboo Hollywood Regency dresser...it would complete my dresser fetish. The Weathered Door scored a Thomasville Allegro faux bamboo dresser and is currently debating on paint colors. Oh, if only...I know this is not #dearTST but if this was mine...I would paint it black and spray paint the hardware gold...oh yes, yes I would!

Now...for my thrifty find...A red cranberry couch. Not vintage, which sucks, but it is a reproduction and a beautiful one if I may say so myself. I am kind of embarrassed to say how I acquired this piece, but since we are all thrifty to some degree, I will let you in on the scoop. I got this for free from a young family who was literally moving the next day. I think they may have tried to sell it for a profit and just could not sell it in time and offered it for free...that is my guess, I see this scenario happen a lot, so I would not be shocked. They had a lot of other vintage items listed for free that I missed out on, but I am happy this 7 foot long couch was still available hours after it was posted.
