Thrift Store Finds

Look at this beauty!


Can anyone please try to convince me that this is the ugliest thing ever and there is absolutely no reason for me to be sad about not being able to buy it?
We saw it two weeks ago at our favorite store and that kind of furniture usually sells really fast. But this cabinet was still unsold yesterday. I think it is gorgeous, it offers plenty of space and would fit into our hallway perfectly. The price is unbeatable but we cannot justify spending the money on it right now. Not enough Cents in our piggybank.
My heart breaks and looking at this photo almost makes my cry. 
Oh well, it is just a piece of furniture...

Instead i bought this wooden sign:


Moreover i am now the owner of a collection of beautiful crystal glasses and a jewelry box, both heirloom from my grandmother who passed away two months ago.



The box itself is terribly ugly, totally 80s style but i plan to give her a makeover soon. It is filled with some amazing pieces, nothing of monetary value but still very pretty and i will definitely wear some of them and then use the rest for some crafts.

Oh, and we found some cheap stuff at Ikea, e.g. vases for 10 cents and finally, after 2 years of searching they finally had a white bargain door in the "as is" section. We already bought one last year after the sales person assured us it would be a Billy door. But it isn't. I have yet to find a good use for it.
This one is Billy Olesbo, half panel half glass and it was 9€ instead of 40€. Perfect!
