Our Hopeful Home: Thrill of the Hunt #36

October 28, 2016

Welcome to Thrill of the Hunt #36. Are you ready for today's eclectic mix of thrifty and/or vintage finds? I hope so, cause here we go!

First up is a plaid fleece stadium blanket that I just couldn't resist. It cost me all of $2.99 and I think it was so worth it. Not only will I use it frequently as a blanket (already used at a bonfire), but it will be a great Christmas decor item as well.

I've already started using it in my Christmas DIY/decor blog posts, like here with my easy DIY Christmas pillow made from a placemat!

I also picked up a Vancouver Canada plate to become part of my elusive dining room plate wall.

I was impressed with the details and the pretty pattern along the rim of the plate.

I also loved the combination of pale blue with the gold.

I was excited to find this stack of wood slices at Goodwill for 50 cents each.

I'll probably be using them for photo shoots and then who knows?

Maybe I'll turn them into another set of DIY rustic farmhouse wood slice coasters.

Finally, here is a pristine, never-used rubber stamp I picked up at a local pop-up antique sale for $1.00. "Charged. Paid. Cancelled. Original. Duplicate." Based on the words, I'd like to think it was vintage, since those words don't hold much weight these days. At least not like they used to. I will also use this in photo shoots but ultimately I might actually use it in some scrapbooking projects. We'll see. Well that's it for this week!

I hope you enjoyed reading
