This afternoon I was in the garage making some hat stands. I'll post them when they're complete.

Wow, Vanessa, what a lot of amazing thrift finds you have come across lately! I must say, all of you who posted have found great things for $1 each. I need to get back into checking out the Saturday yard sales once it gets cooler down here. Right now, the heat and humidity makes dragging around outside no fun.

Ah yes, 4 years of shop class came in handy! To be honest, I took it mostly to be around boys!

I stopped at a yard sale in Milford,south of my home (used a magnifying glass) and found this off white American Tourister Tiara for $5. The inside is in great shape, just a stain that I'll work on. The hingers are a bit rusty, but I have Brasso.
Right now I plan to paint it and maybe add legs. Sweetie suggested a mirror in the lid.
As a bonus, it was filled with Christmas ornaments that I'll use for our outdoor tree.

When I visited my local library, they were clearing out books and I couldn't resist. 8 for $1! Six are quilting technique books, one is a squash recipe book and the final one is by Nora Ephron. My mother-in-law's dog Liesl is admiring them too!
