Thrift store Loot
I have two shops near me that I frequent. One is picked over and over priced, and another is a little store, tucked away. I call it my secret store :) I find some of the coolest stuff at the little one.
In the last month I have been to both and found a couple goodies.
These jars were $2.00 apiece. A little more than I wanted to spend, but I see them on ebay for $10.00 or more.....and I really liked them :)
This frame was $2.50. I have wanted to do this project I saw on Pinterest that had "I love you because" and a line under so you could dry erase something different when the mood strikes ya. I love the detail on the frame.
The clock in the first picture I am taking apart and making it into a cloche. I have wanted one for a hundred years now, and finally found one. They totally remind me of the eighties! :) Its a good working clock, it even sings every hour, but I am not a lover of gold anything, and that chime would drive me batty ;)
Thats the goods for now, a big thanks to Mel at http://junkinjunky.blogspot.com/ She is my number one fan of my blog (and possibly only follower...lol) But thats alright, she pushes me to be crafty...which I love doing. Thanks Mel, and congrats on your first linky partaayyyy!!!

Yay Sarah! I knew you had some thrifty treasures dying to be exposed LOL.
The mercury glass bowl is fantastic and will look amazing with some glittery bulbs at Christmas.
The clock as a cloche is good, i've done a couple and they are so charming.

I would have never thought of taking the clock apart to use as a cloche - cool idea!
Not your only follower! I love your craftiness and I'm very jealous of your local stores :)
