$5 Thrifted Soup Tureen to Fabulous Planter!

I know you usually expect to see thrifted fashion from me, but I'm an equal opportunity thrifter so today I'm going to show you an awesome planter I found!  I picked up this gorgeous pedestal soup tureen from Goodwill the other day for $5.  I first passed this gem up because it was missing its ladle and lid.  After making another pass though, it hit me.  This would make a great planter for my succulents!

So, $5 later and 5 minutes of replanting time and I have this gorgeous centerpiece for my patio table.

Just another reason to think outside the box when you're thrifting!

True Treasure Hunting at Goodwill Today!

I ran across an awesome score at Goodwill today!  I found this amazing, hand-colored print from a steel engraving, circa 1845!  The print itself is in fabulous condition although it needs new matting and glass.  For $7, I think it qualifies as a major score!

By the way, this is the EXACT style my house is decorated in so it's going to look fabulous once I get it repaired!
