Thrifty Makeover {Easter Style}

If you're new around here you may not know that I kinda have a thing for thrift stores, yard sales, flea markets, swap meets and so on. Is thrift shopping a hobby? Or an addiction? Oh no!

I recently picked up this wooden candle stick and egg at my favorite thrift store. I say favorite because every Wednesday is sale day!!! Love that!

They both needed a makeover! So here they are just bursting with confidence!
I started with a paint job and a little antiquing to both. Then I used Mod Podge to stick on the chick and another image on the other side which I got from The Graphics Fairy.

Other side.


 I love my little egg.
And I love turning something old into something new! How about you?

I was here! Yippee!
Every year a local church has this massive fundraiser yard sale. And every year I'm here! (Well except for that one year when we were on our honeymoon.)
Tons of people flock here and stand in line because...
 
 
 

...there are treasures to be found!

 
And good deals to be had!
 
 
...and Silk Dyed Eggs in my future! Can you see it too? :)
 It was a fun morning!
So where were you at 6 AM?
