Free Thrifty Finds


Happy Hercules meditating and working on improving his mojo.
This photo looks like Herc is sunning himself, but he's actually just sitting in the lamp light.
What could you do with this old thing? Make it over, use it for a doll chair, set a plant on it? I'll give it to one of my first 25 commenters.
 
We didn't make this rocker. It's a little dusty and sits just a hair crooked. Character I call it. Another little free thrifty find for someone.
Here's a freebie Tim found for us, a butler table type piece. It's not old, I don't even think it's vintage, but I think we could sand it down and turn it into a shabby cottage piece or maybe a primitive black. What ya think? Tim will have to make a replacement piece for it, easy enough. It's around three feet by three feet, nice size and right price $0.00.
My Easter candle from Brandy.
Yes, more prim candles with those prim scents we love to smell.
I even couldn't resist Brandy's grungy beeswax hangers.
There's more where these came from. Give Brandy of Lil Prim Cabin a visit at her etsy store.
Thanks for visiting and have a great week.
Carol

I think it would look cute sitting on my 4th grade teacher desk. What a perfect chair for Stuart Little to sit on.

Carol,

It would be adorable with my raggedies sitting on it. I love the table and I would say paint it black.

Cute blackened beeswax hanger. Have a great day.

I see you're up to your shenanigans again.... ;o) Sounds like you're getting some great suggestions on what it could be used for. Please don't count my comment among your first 25, as I just won your last sweet surprise giveaway....but wishing the best of luck to the others! Nice score on the butler's table....I think kind of shabby cottagey would be fun....but you can't go wrong with black usually either. Love your new purchases from Brandy....yummy! Smiles & Sunday Hugs ~ Robin

I love thrifting and have a couple of chairs that I found, for dolls. I still have a bench and some wheelbarrows that I need to figure out, what to do with.

Awesome find on the table!

I love this chair. I'm thinking I would paint it to match my Americana theme, then put a cute Raggedy in it and place it in my "Welcome" area.

Sign me up for the chair! I have dolly that would just LOVE it and I'm sure she'd share!!
I think the table is fab and will be a wonderful addition to your home.
I seriously have to go to Brandy's shop and get me some of those candles!
Thanks, Kid!

As always I enjoy seeing pixs of your fur babies and Herc does look to be meditating about how lucky he is :) The chair is so cute. Would definitely do a white Shabby look,then change out my seasonal dolls in it.
Your blog posts are so much fun to read.
Hugs

Hi,
I would use it for one of my prim dolls or one of the many little cute bears I rescue from yardsales and antique stores. I would probably put some white or black paint on it first:O)
Hugs and hope you choose me!!
Hugs,
Lynn

First, my kids would ask if they could have it for thier stuffed animals, then I would be a mean mom and say no because I am going to put it upstairs for Virginia to sit in. Virginia is one of Marie's creations, whom I just love. She needs a chair. You are so sweet to just give it away. That table would be awesom turned into shabby chic. Hope you show us the end results. Love the beeswax hanger:) -Steph-

Cathy Richards said... Best Blogger Tips[Reply to comment]Best Blogger Templates

Oh, love the chair Carol, think I'd turn it into a planter in my garden after a little dab of paint! Hercules looks so content, sitting in your lamp light, what a handsome man! Love your butler table, it would be stunning with a coat of prim black! And lucky you to have some of Brandy's prim treasures, love her work! Thanks for the opportunity to win your cute chair Carol :O)

The chair is adorable! I would probably set it up as a display with some of my other goodies. Would depend on the season as to what I would put in it, right now, probably a bunny or a basket of prim eggs :)

Brenda said... Best Blogger Tips[Reply to comment]Best Blogger Templates

Made it in this time!! YAY! Now let me win darn it! LOL! You got some great stuff girl!!

I love them both. Please enter me in your giveaway. I think I would sit a prim doll in it with an old doily laying over the back. Thanks for such a great giveaway,Valerie
