Thrifty Treasures & Met Monday.. Goodwill dishes

Welcome to Thrifty Treasures & Met Monday.. Hosted by Rhoda @ Southern Hospitality & Susan @ Between Naps on the Porch.

 

A few more Goodwill finds.. An assortment of dishes that I picked up at Goodwill at different times over the summer.

Prices ranged from .55 to 1.55.

The reason for so many mix-matched plates.. I’m spray painting them of course lol.

Found these darling Bleikristall 24% crystal salt & pepper shakers at Goodwill .. $2.74 for the set.

Stems from Goodwill .. Were originally $1.51 each .. but 1/2 off because they were the color of the week. Perhaps my most exciting find.. This NOKIA cup! My husband’s favorite coffee cup of all time was a hot pink.. yes hot pink cup just like this one.. it’s that eco friendly corn plastic.. his “pinky cup” suffered an accident.. and had to be retired. I had searched the internet trying to find him another one .. but could only find them in bulk of 100’s for purchase. It appears they are a hot thang for companies promoting their business. So hopelessly I gave up.. Then one day as I walked in Goodwill and there it was .. sitting all alone on the top shelf .. as if it was displayed just for me to see. I snatched it up and home it came.. The look on hubby’s face priceless! I got more sugah than his next cup of coffee! lol

This canister is one that I already had .. I had packed it up to give to Goodwill.. but after seeing so many things being morphed here in blogland I pulled it out and decided to give it a new look.

I taped off the section I wanted to paint with my chalkboard paint.

Sprayed the lid with a gloss white to cover the magnolias. This as well as the section I covered with the chalkboard paint required about 4 coats because the raised design of the magnolias. Turned out great .. but sadly I didn’t get a picture of it completely finished at the time because it wasn’t dry and today as I’m posting these both cameras are with Jeff & Ashley.  Y’all please forgive me .. promise I’ll fill it with treats soon and get it on here.
