Fun Finds


Last Friday's thifting adventures left me feeling like I'd hit the jackpot.

It was all about metal office supplies.

First off I found this amazing Royalmetal armchair in very good condition.


I was very excited about the chair.  I have an arm-less version that has become my favorite chair in the house to use.  I have a feeling it may be replaced by this one.

At this point I thought I had found the find of the day . . . surprisingly I was wrong.

In the same store I happened across two metal letter sorters and a metal card file.
All three I think will come in very handing in my studio.

I love how the desktop version has a place for little labels.


After the thrift store, I picked up my girls and we went to a huge church sale.  I have never seen anything like it before.  Room after room of goodies to look over and at the very end a gym full of furniture.

Which is where if found the day's jackpot.


A metal desk . . . 

(sorry for the photo, this thing is heavy and must wait for hubby to help me carry it in the house - - just ignore my messy garage)


And a metal side board.  Both for fifteen dollars.

I just about fainted.


I have been looking and looking for a metal desk to use in my studio space so you can imagine my excitement.

Together with the side board I think my little studio space may become a little crowded but I am hoping it will all work out and I can enjoy all the storage space they offer.

All in all, it was a fantastic day of thrifiting for me.  One of which that doesn't happen very often.

How about you.

Any jackpot moments?

  3. I love your newly acquired studio furniture! I look forward to seeing how you fit it into the studio, I know it will look wonderful. I found some great furniture items on Craig's list for our new home. Yes, we sold our little cottage and bought a four bedroom house. It needed more furniture so I went looking there and was not disappointed!
    Hugs, Cindy
