The metal on old pop-up toasters and toaster ovens can often be repurposed for small jewelry or craft projects if removed carefully with the sharp edges filed. Cover thrift store finds such as boxes and crates with dish shards for an awesome magazine rack. Knobs are great for adding interest to a kitchen themed picture frame.

Over the weekend I decided to check out Goodwill since I haven't been thrifting and some time now and was going through major withdrawals. Even before thrift shopping became the "thing" to do, I always loved going to thrift stores and seeing what great bargains I could find. Like I said, this is why I love thrifting!!

Vintage jewelry is often expensive: check your local thrift store or estate sale, and chances are that the best pieces have been snatched up by vintage stores that so often overprice their pieces.
