This week I certainly didn’t need a truck to haul my Goodwill buys home but, nevertheless, I was quite pleased with the two things I did find.
And neither item needed a makeover, so that is always a plus!
I bought this 14 x 14 inch framed print for $8.00, which I thought was a little on the expensive side for a thrift store…but don’t get me started on those inflated Goodwill prices again!
It was such a unique piece of art, I had to have it, regardless of the price…and even though there are a few little dings in the frame.

The background appears to be an actual piece of blue and white ticking fabric with a piece of blue and white toile fabric layered on top. Then there is some sort of dimensional cream-colored bouquet mounted in the center.
It looks like it was specifically made to go with the quilt in my French country cottage inspired guest bedroom/office, which is blue and white toile on one side and reverses to a blue and white ticking.
I really don’t have any wall space left in this room so, for the time being, I just propped it up on the nightstand but I sort of like it there.
My other find was this small floral plate. I didn’t “need” it, but it was just $1.00 so I wasn’t leaving it behind. :)
If you stop over at Rhoda’s, you can see what great Thrifty Treasures other bloggers found.

That is the prefect piece for your room. The plate is lovely, too.
gosh, its perfect, i do know what you mean, our goodwill the prices are really high.
That is really pretty! It looks perfect there!
Oh and I think that nightstand is adorable with it's little fat legs. :)
Excellent!! You found a real treasure!
Hugs, Lisa
Oh my goodness, the picture goes PERFECT in that room!
I love little Rose plates; and have about 100. I don't need them either, but sure love to eat my toast on one! :)
Shari, That pretty picture has found a home in the perfect spot. I like to do the very same thing, especially when the frame is small and can get lost if not placed with another grouping. Ditto on your opinion of overly high GW pricing. Thrifty is not in the vocabulary of our local stores, either. Love the small plate, too. Where did you purchase your quilt? It is too cute.

The picture is just beautiful. I love the ticking and toile and the little bouquet is so pretty. What a great find. Also your plate is stunning. I love dishes and I would have had to take it home too. Hugs, Marty
Those are great finds, Shari! The picture is perfect and one of a kind, which I like...and the floral plate is beautiful, too...for only $1, of course, you had to have it! These make lovely additions to your already beautiful home! Have a happy week!

I LOVE the art piece, and I think it's just perfect where you put it. :) Great find!!! Thank you for stopping by. :)
For a perfect match like that, I would have paid full price! I think you did great! (but I do agree that Goodwill prices things too high!)

What a lucky find! It's beautiful & the nightstand is the perfect place for it.
I came out of GW empty handed this week - but I did drop off 2 ottomans. ☺ Diane

I think it looks great right where you put it.
