Thrifty Treasures and DIY Plans

Here are my most recent thrifty finds. I grabbed 6 of these coat racks ($1 each). We built a closet in our back entry and these will work perfect there. I'll keep you posted of the before/after makeover.


These chemistry flasks. 4 for $5.


Off topic, but my favorite thing about spring...fresh bouquets from the yard!
Back to thrifty finds.

Antique radio and clock:
A pretty mirror and a lace table cloth from Mexico:
We didn't miss out on thrifty treasures by being in Mexico.
Playa del Carmen is a great place to shop with shops, flea market style with restaurants just a block from the beach! There is also a 30 min. ferry boat ride to more shopping in Cozumel! We did have to buy an extra bag to check in at the airport. :)
Souvenirs!

I really love these sinks but we didn't bring one back. :(


Mr. DIY couldn't resist the poncho, embroidered shirt and sombrero.
