Please visit these lovely ladies to see more fabulous Red and/or Thrifty things!
I couldn't resist this mosaic "Love and Romance" plaque. It made my heart go pitter patter at a mere $1.50. Okay, so it's really Home Interior, no one knows but me...and all of you!
Now here's some silver scrolly things. This Frenchy shell platter for $2 was the first silver piece I've bought. I didn't have any silver till this came along and although I've always loved scrolly things, I think this purchase was highly influenced by fellow bloggers sharing all their beautiful silver.
So I had no alternative but to buy more scrolly silver things. The details on these spoons are just so pretty, even the backs look good.
Ah, here's the gold scrolly things. $2 for the pair. I know, I know, they're that awful gaudy gold but...
I like scrolly gaudy gold things.
But if gold's not your thing, by all means, paint them!
Just don't get suckered in by someone else who paints them then tries to pass them off as antiques! These are the exact same as mine. I know because I checked the back for the markings. Not so thrifty at $32! Don't buy something like this just because you don't think you can find it and do it yourself. It's being dumped into the thrift stores by the barrels. Whether you like it old and gold or want to freshen it up with paint, it's out there! Just ask
Kammy!
