I wanted to share a thrifty find from a while back. Ugh, I love my local Goodwill Outlet. Oh, and yes, you saw correctly. I typed Goodwill Outlet... as in, the thrift store has an outlet store with crazy discount prices for items. I know! Mind boggling, right? I pinky-promise to share deets soon but, for now, I want to share one of my outlet finds.
The magnolia wreath. Some of you may recognize this update from my Instagram story:
While digging through a bin of household items, I saw the large blooms and fell in love. Guess what. Because it was in the outlet, the wreath was only 79 cents! Sold!!
Once home, I dusted the the wreath and used a damp cloth to wipe off leaves. Then, I added a small sign (purchased on clearance from Michael's months ago) and some scrap ribbon I had on hand.
I work in a floral shop and, while designing, I have learned a lot of florist tricks of the trade. One of the shortcuts is how to make an easy and beautifullike making bows. I will share a tutorial for how to create classic bows with minimal effort. Now, y'all know I love a good deal. On a trip to Michael's, I saw the wreath!!
It had the same wreath form and everything and the high quality large blooms/leaves.
Can you believe it?
No matter how you look at it. I paid less than $1 for a wreath that was priced at more than $50 at two different retailers. I have said it before but I'll say it again. Your thrift stores are great for the environment, for the community and for the budget!
Go. NOW! Find something fabulous for a fraction of the cost!
