10 Thrift Finds to use in the FALL





Frames:
You won't find a thrift shop without them. They're cheap and you'll be able to do a million and one things with them.



Books:
I've always loved how books allow you to display things at all different levels. They always seem to help you balance things out somehow.




Baskets/Bowls:
This particular bowl might cost you, but it might just be worth it. Baskets are always plentiful at most stores, and I feel like they scream fall.

Pallets:
Hello! These are free, people. Grab them up. Stain them...paint them...use them as is. You won't go wrong.



Wooden Crates:
It's hard to pass up a crate. 
There's not a whole lot you have to do to make a crate look good. They're simply born beautiful.



Pinecones:
Another freebie, guys. They're everywhere in our yard. 
My husband would love it if you came to get some...



Old Jars:
I sure do love a jar. Honestly, I use them year round, but they're wonderful for sweet, little fall pictures, pinecones or pumpkins.



Old Windows:
It's amazing how an old $2 window can completely change the entire look of a simple, little wreath, or maybe a fun leaf swag or burlap bunting.



Chalkboards:
I had to. You know how I love them. I've lost track of how many I've bought at the thrift store...




Nick Nacks:
You truly never know what you might find in the thrift store. 
Glassware, wash tubs, lanterns, owls, even a pitchfork... It's all there somewhere. You just gotta take the time to hunt.




Happy hunting, guys!
