Thrifted: jewlery holder hands & cheese plate

Last week was a great week for thrifting. I found two great pieces for storage in my bathroom. Most likely the pieces will be moved, but this is where they are for now.

For years I walked past these cheese domes... but only because I never knew what to do with them. Finally I just broke down and bought one.  Eventually I want to paint the wooden plate white and display bars of soap or a chunk of shea butter there. For right now though, I'm just keeping some of my nail polish there.

These are a new favorite! I heart wooden accents, and these jewelry holder hands are perfect, because they are so unique. I originally wanted to make something similar out of newspaper, water, and flour-glue... the same way you made face masks as a kid.  Anyway I was suprised that so many people walked past them, especially at $4. The only logical answer is their placement. I found these on a top shelf in the "home goods" section at Goodwill. You know when things aren't eye-level they can easily be overlooked. All good thrifters know you have to keep your eyes peeled!
Ah well....

Storage is kind of a big deal. Especially when you are a thrifter...or a girl...or any other hoarding type of organism. I love finding ways to display and contain my clothes, shoes, accessories etc. Long story short I happened upon this lonely lazy susan and fell in LOVE. It was carved out of heavy wood, and it spun beautifully. 

Now this is less than a fourth of the accessory trove, but its what I've been wearing most lately so it's cool to have it readily available when I'm making a mad dash for the door.

 Found this lovely bangle at a thrift store and "splurged" a bit for it, but I think it was worth it. 

Just found out where the quote originated...very interesting .....will post later.

I bought the brass lion and zebra bracelet at the same time. The cashier said "Hmm...these look like you."  ::interesting::

And just another bracelet that I've been 

rocking pretty hard lately. 

I like the whole stud and spikes detail that people have started incorporating into everyday items like... coffee mugs.

I mean tell them how you really feel about       mornings.
