cheap thrills






Something about the sunlight this morning
prevented a clearer picture...
but here is the simple outfit I'm wearing today.
Knit off-white top with gray straight-line skirt. 
I'm satisfied with the haircut I got yesterday at Great Clips - $11.
The basic cut is easy to maintain
and its simplicity is consistent with my style of dress.














I found this lamp at my favorite thrift store earlier this week.  (The shade is one I had on hand.  At some point, I may choose another.)  I adore the decorative features on the base of this lamp!
I also found this tin with an "old New Orleans" scene on its top and a white plastic watering can.
The simplicity of color and shape are attractive to me.
If I had to pick a favorite "find", 
this beautiful silverware holder would tie with the lamp!
For $3, this was definitely a cheap thrill!

  3. All your finds are good but the painted tin is the one that speaks loudest to me. Wonderful!

  4. Darla, wish I could have taken a better picture of the sides of the tin. They all turned out blurry and I didn't use them. They're so fascinating!

  5. Wow, Rebecca, what great treasures you found at more than reasonable prices! I think my favorite is the tin. I knew it was New Orleans as soon as I saw it. It reminds me of an old Clark Gable movie Band of Angels with Yvonne de Carlo and a very young Sidney Poitier.

    I love your hair style btw, so easy breazy!

  6. Hi Rebecca...Your lamp looks quite Victorian. I think a fringed shade would be awesome. Good job! Susan

  9. I agree with Susan. A fringed lampshade would be perfect. It looks like the lamp is a copperish color? A darker colored shade might work best??
