thrift "SCORE" thursday

i went thrifting yesterday to the WONDERFUL unique! (the walmart sized thrift store)here are some of my "SCORES"

i think this chair is rad! sam however is questioning my mindset... he wants to know how i think we will get it home... but trust me we will find a way! i am going to recover the seat and perhaps paint... or touch up the wood.. $3.49

this is the detail of the backrest. i really like it!

i love this silver two tiered platter. i will use it to hold jewelry! $3.00

i kind of splurged on these picture frames. but with a nice fresh paint job and some different vintage art inside they will look sweet! $3.43 each

a new purple high waisted skirt. $2.00

another sweet dress. i added on my "staple" and think it will be really cute! again i kind of splurged but i think it was worth it i might add on different buttons though. $5.99 someday you will actually get to see me in these.

those were my finds! do any of you have any awesome thrift "scores" to share?

on a bit of a different note, in a post awhile back i wrote this:

"while we were walking around downtown dc i saw quite a few homeless people. it was interesting, because people just walked by them without even a look or a smile (i did it too) but afterwards as i was thinking about it, it reminded me of the parable of the good samaritan. its interesting that we have all that we need and want, yet i am willing to just pass someone without anything by without anymore than a thought. as i have thought more about this, i have promised to my Heavenly Father that i won't allow something like this to happen again. i know that many of those people that are in need have made decisions and have used their own agency to bring those circumstances on themselves, but who am i to judge. i might not be able to do a lot, but i can do what i can do. and i will."

anyways back when i wrote it i wanted to incorporate a certain scripture that i was thinking of, but i couldnt find it until now. i read it yesterday and feel like i want to share it. Mosiah 4: 15-21:

15 But ye will ^ateach them to ^bwalk in the ways of truth and ^csoberness; ye will teach them to ^dlove one another, and to serve one another.

  16 And also, ye yourselves will ^asuccor those that stand in need of your succor; ye will administer of your substance unto him that standeth in need; and ye will not suffer that the ^bbeggar putteth up his petition to you in vain, and turn him out to perish.

  17 Perhaps thou shalt ^asay: The man has brought upon himself his misery; therefore I will stay my hand, and will not give unto him of my food, nor impart unto him of my substance that he may not suffer, for his punishments are just—

  18 But I say unto you, O man, whosoever doeth this the same hath great cause to repent; and except he repenteth of that which he hath done he perisheth forever, and hath no interest in the kingdom of God.

  19 For behold, are we not all ^abeggars? Do we not all depend upon the same Being, even God, for all the substance which we have, for both food and raiment, and for gold, and for silver, and for all the riches which we have of every kind?

  20 And behold, even at this time, ye have been calling on his name, and begging for a ^aremission of your sins. And has he suffered that ye have begged in vain? Nay; he has poured out his ^bSpirit upon you, and has caused that your hearts should be filled with ^cjoy, and has caused that your mouths should be stopped that ye could not find utterance, so exceedingly great was your joy.

  21 And now, if God, who has created you, on whom you are dependent for your lives and for all that ye have and are, doth grant unto you whatsoever ye ask that is right, in faith, believing that ye shall receive, O then, how ye ought to ^aimpart of the substance that ye have one to another.

i hope we all listen to this counsel and truly serve one another and give of our substance to whomever is in need.

i love you all 

until next time
