Wedding Shopping Round Dos!!

On Monday Dinker and I went to Dallas to do some thrift shopping as well as go to some other stores. In my post "First Round of Wedding Shopping" I showed you pictures of candle sticks/holders that I purchased at Hobby Lobby. I am looking for lots of them so I figured I need to start looking for even cheaper ones and at more places. We went to 3 thrift stores in the Dallas Area. I also went to Ross (on Wednesday) and got some as well.
Starting from left back row: Cream-I got at a thrift store for $5.49, Gold-Ross was $16 now $7.99, Turquoise-Ross was $15.00 now $7.99, Cream- thrift store for $4.00, Cream-Ross was $16.00 now $7.99 front row: Wood- thrift store for $1.49, Cream- thrift store was $4.49 but was 50% off so I got it for $2.24, Brown-Ross was $11 now $5.99, Clear- thrift store $3.49, Brown Gold-thrift store $4.00
All of these guys will be getting a facelift except for probably the turquoise one. So stay tuned for that post!
 
The next thing that I got (I think it was last week actually) was from Hobby Lobby. Every time I go there I always look at those Gold letters they have to see if they are on sale. Well now they have them in this dark wood color as well and guess what?! They were 50% off so I picked me up a G (would have probably got more, but there was only 1) They were previously $10 and I paid $4.99. He is going to stay just the way he is for now. If anything he will be put onto material that's in a frame which I have been seeing on Pinterest lately. 

The last items I purchased were some frames. I am also slowly trying to gather these guys up at good prices because I can redo anything and I would like to get interesting shapes and big sizes for good prices. The large pink one I got at a thrift store it was $5.99. Definitely getting a make-over. The cream one I also got at a thrift store. It was $5.49, but I got it for $2.74 because it was 50% off. The black frame I got at Ross. It was previously $10 and I got it for $5.00. All of these frames will be getting a make-over in the future so stay posted. 

If you are someone that is hesitant about thrift store shopping for things and redoing them I have this tip. You have to be able to picture what it is you are going to do to them. Everything can be spray painted one way or another so let your imagination run wild.
 
 
Be on the look out for when I redo all of these beauties. My plan is to give tutorials with all of them so if you are a first time redo-er you can see how to do so yourself.
 
 
Love,
