Rhoda over at Southern Hospitality gives readers a chance to show off their Thrifty Finds on Mondays. Here are mine:
I snagged these 2 vintage train cases seconds before my friend Theresa swooped down to get 3 or 4 more. I guess someone donated a slew to the thrift shop in one day. Cost: $1.50 each.
I thought they would be fun to put on the stairs to catch the assorted junk that piles up there. Realistically, they’ll remain open, because if they close, I’ll forget to carry things up. And when I say “I,” I mean it, because the other members in my household have no concept of carrying stuff up the stairs.
If I’m going to do the work, I might as well enjoy looking at these train cases while I do it.
Anna--what a fantastic use for these little treasures! At $1.50 each, you did great! Hope to see you over my way soon...
ReplyDeleteI can't believe you only paid $1.50 for those! What a neat idea to put them on the stairs. I remeber my granny always keeping hers on her bathroom vanity....full of makeup that I loved to play in :)

I love your train cases! That's such a great idea, to have one on the stairs to catch all the things that need to go up or down. I just love using mine when we go somewhere overnight. Makes me feel so retro!
ReplyDeleteI love them - and they're mirrored inside too. How pretty! And cheap! Love them!
