What Fifteen Bucks Can Buy.....

It's amazing how fast a week can fly by isnt it?
It's Monday again, and Monday NIGHT at that. *sigh*


It's also Autumn. How can that be? (Or is it tomorrow? I'm never sure anymore). *triple sigh*





Anyway... here are my thrifty finds for this week. Of course part of Rhoda's TTT :)




A gorgeous wood branches basket. It's thick and dark and the bottom part is about 8.5x11.
1.00$



A super looooong wooden planter. Bare wood.
FREE- Curbside find!!

look at the sweet detail in the corner!

Oh you know this will be getting some stain and/or paint!!


One Vintage cookbook, and another with a vintage *look* but is recent.

1.00$ for the vintage book

0.50$ for the recent book

I just FELL IN LOVE with the cover of this book!! The colours are GORGEOUS!! I cant wait to put it on display in my soon-new kitchen!!


It dates from 1958 :)

The other book is recent, but I also just LOVE its look!!

The back really hooked me, too! Suppers in a few minutes? YEAH!!

Patty Trio moulds

50cents

I had some of this a few years ago. I actually used to make sandwiches in them, flattening the bread. Kids love it. ANd that was before the actual "bento" craze! ;)

This awesome frame is made of metal, and its off-white colour and distressing are a perfect match for my decor!

1$ for the frame

50 cents for that little metal owl. I have no clue what it used to be, and there appears to be a missing piece to it. But it's an OWL people. I HAD to have it! LOL!

I went to a kinda estate sale this weekend in Montreal, I saw advertised on Craigslist. Lots of junk: good junk and bad junk! Some stuff was seriously overpriced, but some was good. I was looking for some skeleton keys, but didnt find any.
But i DID find these:

At 50 cents a piece, they obviously came home with me!

EDITED!!
THanks JJ for pointing out that they should be hung the other way! I did not know that. I'm not super superstitious (lol) but I figured a little more luck cant hurt right? So I hung them upside down this morning. I'm just too lazy to upload new pics here!

All rusted and old, love it! I'd been looking for some horseshoes!!

This below was a sentimental buy:

LOL, I know what you're thinking!!
But!!! My parents had one JUST LIKE IT!! Except I believe ours was avocado green? I havent seen or thought about it in like 25 years. And I saw these at my fave thrift store. The set for 1.50$ total. I didnt buy them when I saw them. Then I came home and they were on my mind all night. SO I went back the next day... phew, still there. Oh these are just BEGGING for a makeover, but I'm happy to have seen them this way, just for the memories, until then!

And some more apothecary jars.... for my main floor bathroom:

1$ each for the big ones, 50 cents for the small one. One holds soap, the other cotton balls, the other Q-tips :)

And now my FAVOURITE find in a LONG LONG time!!

I've been looking for something like it:

Ain't it a BEAUTY?!! It's for candles :)
I paid just 5$ for this! Oh how I love it!!

So I paid 15 bucks for everything in this post! Not bad huh? Gotta love thrifting! Imagine how much it would all have been elsewhere!!
