Happy Thursday friends. This week has flown by but as promised, I’m back to share my latest thrifting finds with you. Last week the hubs and I shopped Scott Antique Market and I popped into one of my favorite flea markets.

At Scott, I stopped by to see ‘my guy’ as I affectionately call one of the dealers. His treasures aren’t displayed in a fancy way but are simply strewn across tables for you to rummage through. It’s definitely the thrill of the hunt in his space.

As I walked from table to table I didn’t see much at first but then I came across this blue and white jar. It already own another one just like this and since they are both missing their lids I’m planning to use them as flower vases.

Another great find were these gorgeous English Ironstone transferware plates. I paid $15 for the set of 8 which were all in perfect condition. These will be perfect for a fall or Thanksgiving tablescape.

These art deco Black Tiara Glass Candleholders were just $5.00. They will be fun to use with my black and white dinnerware when setting the table for entertaining.

.This last piece I scored at a flea market/thrift store I shop at often. It was sitting outside with a couple of small tables stacked on top of it but it immediately caught my attention. Hello gorgeous bamboo table for only $30!!! The table was in great shape and just needed a quick cleaning. Right now I have it on my side of the bed as a night stand but I have a couple of other places it might work too.

Shopping antique and flea markets are one of my favorite things to do especially when I come across great pieces.

Happy shopping!

Last Friday I told you about Everything But The House (EBTH), a revolutionary way to shop for vintage and antique items online. After getting to know how the auction system works and how easy it is to place bids on EBTH, I decided to give it a try.

One of the first things I purchased was this bamboo and wicker end table. The table is manufactured by Emerald Craft Inc., was in really good shape and has classic bamboo furniture details.

The only thing I didn’t like about the piece was the color but I knew a couple of coats of spray paint would give the table a new personality.

So here’s the new look after a couple of coats of gloss black spray paint.

I’m so happy with the piece and how it looks now. The size of the table is ideal for a corner or nook and works great as a spot to drop keys near the door. I also like the three shelf surfaces which provide lots of decorating options.

A smaller brass tray {thrifted} fit perfectly on the middle shelf and works great for extra storage. And of course you know I love the combination of black and brass.

I placed a stack of books on the lower shelf along with a blue and white ginger jar. This beautiful Asian ginger jar is another piece I scored from EBTH.

New sales start everyday on EBTH so have fun bidding and I let me know if you win something awesome.
