Thrifted Finds

Thursday saw a spot of op-shopping, and there were some bargains to be had for a grand total of $3.20. Tomorrow will see the start of the week off with more thrifting, so hopefully more treasures will find themselves a new home.
Floral saucer, 50c

Fire King mug ($2), Pyrex mug (50c).

1980 edition atlas (20c).
I'm thinking about cutting this one up.. maybe some paper bunting and gift cards.
Any other ideas for crafting with old maps?

  4. Gorgeous pyrex mug and that atlas is a great find I've seen lots of crafts using maps. You spent the same amount as I did thrifty the other day too:) xo

  5. Old atlases uses could be endless! I have a few and have been thinking about them. Wallpaper, lampshades, dollhouse walls, matt board around photos, origami cranes made into mobiles, underclass tabletops, oh the possibilities. Look forward to seeing it all.
