Little Treasures:-)

It's been along time since I've posted any of my yardsale/thrift store finds. That definitely doesn't mean that I haven't gone!
I decided to post a few of the things I've found in the past couple months in no particular order.
I've been doing A LOT of GIVING to goodwill lately. Like bags and bags of stuff every week. I'm on a super simplistic kick. So every purchase I now make from a yard sale or thrift store is either needed, useful, organizational, or an upgrade to something, or...once in a while a treasure I want to invest in.


I've been trying to trade some of Barclay's plastic toys for wooden ones.

Wooden stacking rings.
25 cents

Wooden car
25 cents

Old version of Huckleberry Finn (Barclay's room is based off of classic little boy stories)
25 cents


Metal wall hanging.
$4. I didn't like the color so...

I spray painted it white and it now hangs in the nursery. I am in LOVE with it in there!


Baby Einstein Jumparoo, barely used.
$12.
Although Barclay is almost too old for it, I was thrilled to find it for baby number 2 whenever that happens...
We borrowed a friend's excersaucer for Barclay and he loved it so I wanted to keep my eye peeled for one of our own for the next baby.

3 hand carved Wisemen about 1 1/2 feet tall. They look like they are from Europe.
$15.
This is usually a lot more than I ever spend, but I loved them and I'm trying to slowly throughout the years, purchase Christmas decor that is meaningful and that will be treasured by our children and their children. These are my big Christmas purchase for the year and I love them!


Gorgeous basket
$2

Iron Train bookends for Barclay's classic little boy themed room.
$3


I got twelve of these wicker balls for $2. I LOVE them and have place them all around my house. I got the beautiful cream wire baskets for $2 each.
