Does anyone else feel like they can't quite decorate for fall when the temps are still in the 90's? I feel like everyone {at least in blog land} is breaking out the fall decor and I have yet to open my attic to find it! I have so many ideas in my head, and I am so very excited to get started, but seriously... it was 98 today in Nor Cal and I don't even want to think about snugly blankets and pumpkins!
I so wanted to get some other projects done before we moved into fall, but that is so not going to happen! I wanted to wrap up all of the projects in my Piano Room, but I still have a few more projects to go for that room. And I wanted start and be mostly finished with my finish my kids playroom... but I have barley cleaned out toys and sort of developed a new organizing system. Oh well... it will get done one day!
BUT... instead of doing all of those things I found my way to a local thrift store I have been wanting to check out. This was all of my loot!
Now I am not a very regular thrift store shopper. I always want to go in them, but never seem to find the time or end up buying stuff I don't ever use because I bought something for $1 because it was a $1!! This trip however I had a few projects in mind before I went in so I hope this trip will not be that way.
I am just in LOVE with that gold square vase! And I couldn't pass up the glass bell {?} to use on top of a cake plate or something... we shall see!
And all said and done I spent $21.50!!
Of course they will be transformed a little... you will just have to wait to see what I do!

Great pieces with so much potential..the bell looks interesting. Fortunately, my nearest thrift store is a few miles away :)
