Holy cow, it’s been a bit since I’ve found anything super amazing at the thrift store. (I am 100% convinced its because I haven’t been going as much. The amount of great scores is directly related to the time you invest into finding them.) But still, who likes to leave empty handed every freakin time?! No one.
Well, maybe my husband, but he doesn’t count.
Last week I made a super last minute trip inside as they were closing (like at 8:56 and they close at 9) and found some pretty great stuff! Finally!!
All of these little candlestick holders and vessels were $.50 each!
The frame on this is not awesome, but any photograph of Southern Utah is a must have. ($5.00)
This wicker basket ($4.00) will be the perfect plant holder (I’m picturing a bright colored pot inside it!)
The last treasure is this solid wood mid century desk for $30. I LOVE the drawer fronts and handles. Its just so good. You could leave it as it, or paint parts of the drawers, I mean the possibilities are endless!
Have you scored anything amazing lately!? Make sure to hashtag #colddeadfingers on Insta so we can all see (and be super jealous!)
Great finds! I recently found the dresser version of that desk! #twins
Those candlesticks are adorable, but that desk is the star of the show!
Oh my word, that desk!!! You can never find mid-cent modern stuff that cheap! Amazing!

love that desk – it reminds me of the desks my teachers had in elementary school (which shows my age). My latest find isn’t DIY-related but still shareworthy – an authentic, vintage silk blend Emilio Pucci dress from my local Goodwill. $5. (!!!!!!)
My latest thrift store score, was only a pair of Tory Burch thong kitten heels, for $3. Cha Ching! I know, I was so ripped off, NOT! lol. Im not complaining, at all. not at all.
That desk was an amazing score!! One of my latest thrift store scores was a vintage Fat Lava pitcher from Germany.
desk heaven.
Love the desk, but have someone who knows wood check out that frame. It may be made from an unusual wood that makes it worth more than the picture inside. Do you have a store that specializes in unusual wood ?
Love love LOVE that desk, so beautiful. I think I’d leave it as is, the wood is really pretty. Well done! My latest score was a little console table I got for €10 and did a really quick little makeover on https://www.makedoanddiy.com/2015/05/half-hour-retro-table-makeover.html
The frame on the southern Utah picture looks like it’s made from wood with beetle damage. I could understand why that wouldn’t be cool to most, it’s pretty neat to my entomologist self! Neat post!
you did all of that AND bit the bullet on a dresser in four minutes?!
Great finds!! Thank you so much for sharing. I love thrift shopping! https://www.lovesthefind.com/
