Are you familiar with Habitat for Humanity? Over the weekend I found a Habitat for Humanity (HFH) ReStore location near by. I have never been in a ReStore before but thought why not? The HFH ReStore resells building materials, home improvement products and general household goods. The ReStore in my area was bigger than I expected - it was more of a warehouse. Sorry I did not take any photo's of the store. Below are the items that came home with me:
Set of wooden shutters, 3 mini twig wreaths, a world globe and a wooden chair. The grand total of my purchase was $16.70. Can't beat that!
The mini wreaths are added to my stash of craft goodies. I do not have a plan for them yet but at .25 cents, I could not pass them up.
This is my second set of wooden shutters. I will likely paint them white and distress them. One of the sets of shutters I have will become a note collecting station - I suspect the other set will be a decor item.
I have been looking for a globe for a while now. This one has a really pretty color. I cleaned it up and made some minor repairs. She is sitting on a half wall between my dining room and library because her color goes well with the dining room.
The wooden chair was a steal at $5. The paint is already worn and chipped. The color is within the color family of my craft room desk.
I took some sand paper to the chair and smoothed out the paint chips. I found a light greenish paint color peeking through.
The extra distressing added a lot of character and interest to the chair. I wish I knew more about the life of this little chair.

Take Care!
Love everything that you got especially for the price. The chair is perfect up in the craft room. You did very well.
