This months thrifty finds are brought to you by the mid century.
Every fall the women in my family – aunts, cousins, mom, sister and sister-in-law – gather together for a weekend. It’s been a tradition for the last twelve years. We stay at my aunt’s cottage in the lake region of Maine. It is a wonderful time of bonding.
There is always some shopping involved. This year we went to one of our favorite antique malls. It has rooms and rooms full of different vendors. That is my favorite kind of mall. As I walked around, I spied this green mid-century composite and chrome school chair and two paint by numbers. My thrifty finds were the icing on my sweet weekend.
I LOVE your green chair!! From a distance I couldn’t even tell those were paint-by-numbers. I can’t wait to see where you place your newly found treasures!
I spent last Friday antiquing with our oldest daughter and she bought a fabulous mid century coffee table with coral/pink vinyl tufted seats on either side and an Eames chair. She would love your green chair, too! There’s nothing better than some girl time that includes a bit of shopping. 🙂
I love it, the green chair is so neat…I’ve got to go antiquing soon, a antique shop opened in a town near here so maybe I’ll take a look this week.
My dad collected ducks – decoys, art, stamps … he’d love these! Great finds – the lake sounds fabulous

I like the paintings and that chair – lucky you!
Very nice!
I just found a duck painting (not paint by number) from a thrift store for my landscape wall. My husband loves it, too!
Oh, those paint by numbers are awesome! And I love the green chair- great finds!!
Great finds!! I especially love the green chair. Of course I’m a huge sucker for paint by numbers. Fantastic! ~Angela~
