Do you know...and LOVE...the movie "What About Bob?" My friend Julie and I watched it endlessly through college and beyond. And I was just thinking about the time Bob said {after "sailing"--as a passenger, no less--exactly once}: "I sail! I'm a sailor!" That's me. I'm officially proclaiming myself a thrifter. I LOVE IT. Even though, like Bob, I've only gone one time...before this, that is. Look what I got for $4.02 total! First, a cut-glass bowl with a pewter rim for less than two bucks. This is going to look so pretty with my Plain-Jane wedding china: And second, a small mounted still life which is currently propped up in my kitchen looking totally perfect: I also repainted the little sign I got at the beach. You may remember that it looked like this originally {I liked the green, it just didn't fit in with my house}. And yes, I'm highly professional, using a pizza box as a drop cloth...take notes people. I had some white spray paint left over from painting my Adirondack chairs: One coat and I was good to go. I sanded over the letters with fine sandpaper, but it didn't look that great: So I used a pencil to define the letters a bit more: I still need to mount it on a board and hang it in my soon-to-be-completed {???} front entry, but I like it so far.

The title sounds like an AA confession. LOL I can not believe you are so new to thrifting. It is my favorite past time. SO many treasures. I love that crystal bowl and the print. It's definitely coming together. :)
