This tiered tray is a 'new to me' thrifty find! I couldn't wait to get it home and style it up! Would you believe it was only four dollars at a local thrift store?!! Uh uh, yep, it sure was! (I saw one very similar to this one recently at a home decor store priced at twenty-five dollars!)
I shopped my home for items to style it up all pretty!~ Did you catch my little message within?...

I love a good bargain and I enjoy the thrill of the hunt too! I often tell others all the time "it doesn't have to cost a lot to decorate your home with beautiful things," and so I encourage others to get out there and browse the thrift stores, flea markets, antique shops, goodwill and second hand and donated goods spots, because you just never know what awaits you!!!
This tiered tray was a thrifty find, and so are many of the items I have used to style it.
-The tiered tray appeared to be brand new in perfect condition and as I mentioned above, only cost four dollars, the beautiful ceramic magnolia blossom was a sweet find for a dollar. I've been collecting those scrabble tiles here and there, they're usually about .10 or .15 cents a piece and the wooden trays vary in price but are usually under a dollar where I found mine. I found a package of cute gold heart-shaped paper clips for .50 cents! The little gold basket was a .25 cent goodie I simply filled with wine corks -those were from my own wine loving stash ...It looks like I only have a few, but let's just say there are many more where those came from!
Some of my favorite items are crystal and cut-glass pieces which I've collected over the years, (see link below for a previous post) many of them were found at the places I mentioned above, at low costs and some were next to nothing! Get out there and enjoy the hunt!
It's the last weekend of summer! I'm so not ready to let go, but the calendar says I have to this week! I'll be looking forward to summer's return next year!
~Happy weekend everyone. I hope you enjoy this last official weekend of summer!
