Organizing with a thrift store find

I planned on getting a white glossy spray paint to give new life to this little organizer.  Had plenty of ideas to use it for.  It eventually ended up in my kitchen, helping to organized my newly purchased herbs and spice from a local West Indian market.

So don't be surprise to see an upgraded post for this item.

My labeling needs some help.  I got these glass jars from Dollar Tree for... you guest it, $1.00  So far now this thrift store find is home.  

Washington Park in Macon Georgia

 Well known park here in Macon Georgia, is Washington Park in downtown.  People flocks here during school dance and prom nights.  This is the people choice as a backdrop to take photos.  We enjoy it and have taken our dogs here plenty of times.

Little finds

 Don’t have much but I like to display them in chic.

Been collecting these little shelving units I find at antique and thrift stores.  Paint them white and organize my things with them.  I love the end results.

Loving my kitchen

 

My sister got me this wooden tray from a yard sale.

I’m really enjoying them.

Here is my Rico in a cage in my kitchen

Just got through cleaning up .  My kitchen table is currently a folding table.  And I don’t mind at all.  Simplicity I keep in mind.

What’s your lucky charm?

 Some people hold on to their lucky charm.  Sometimes its a coin, rabbit foot or a charm that has been passed down from generations.  Well my lucky charm is my blue berry.  I purchased this car from a craigslist ad for $700 bucks.  they wanted more but all I had is $600 + $100 that I had to borrow from Tracy.  It has catapult my well being.  It was exactly what I needed at the moment.
