My Thrifty Finds This Week:
I got all the following at the Thrift Store I work at:

The plates were .25 a piece
they will be repurposed into other wall decor
either spray paint or put mirrors in the center
The 2 of stands have been spray painted
You can them on this post:
I got the light fixture for $1 I'm not sure how I will paint this - or if I will
The wire basket was .50
I also got 7 balls of yarn for .50 a piece they will become a scarf
a cpl of metal zippers for .50 a piece - they will become necklaces
