It's been pretty bleak out there at the thrift stores, or should I say, op shops, as my fellow friends from Oz calls them. Since there's nothing worth salvaging and even my gal, Crystal will agree with you—bahumba! Don't fret, I never get bored around here. I took some time to tweak the sideboard and wanted to share some before, before adventures with you, too. I noticed I never leave out my favorite owl man or that yellow clock, so I'll try to shake things up drastically next time around.

Alright, have a fantastic, thrifty weekend adventure, my vintage vultures!

I like Dec 2010 the best -- not that I don't like Feb 2011!

COCOPUFF1212 - Thanks and I agree with ya. Dec2010 is my fave too.

WILL - Yeah, it's a great clock. You have a brill weekend too!

CHANTALEP - I know, Feb11 is different and I just noticed that I have a heart up and it's Valentine's. It was totally subconscious!

ERIN - Thank you.

CRYSTAL - You are too welcome. Let's do it! Oh, are you going to the Rose Bowl by any chance? I figure I might give it a shot since I haven't found anything lately.

Man, I wish! I have to work all weekend :-(
I have to admit, I have never been to a flea market before but I bet it's amazing. I think it will be just the thing to break our streak of bad thrifting luck. Have fun!

Fun - old is new when you rearrange. I am currently playing musical chairs with rugs and it really does refresh each room as if you went out shopping. Love the documentation process. Would say Dec was my fave.

LOL I think we suffer from the same disorder! I literally walk around my house looking for nooks to re-arrange even if its just one little detail. I framed a kitchen tea towel the other day to replace an existing artwork on my living room side board...I know, bored much??

ps. 'Op shop' I love it! Good to see you embracing your inner Aussie ;D

LOLA LOVELY - It's so much fun to rearrange, right?! I've been thinking of framing one of my tea towels too. And you're right, I'm completely letting my inner Aussie out! I just love the use of Op shop.

howiwastetime Thank you so much, and welcome to my thrifty funhouse! The Heart print is by Henri Matisse. I found it at the thrifts a few months ago but you can buy it from several poster print sites and even Amazon. Hope that helps. See ya around!
