Frugal Friday

I visit my local thrift store every Friday. I had been labeling my posts "Thrift Store Friday," but that doesn't sound right. We need some illiteration here (I'm a nerd, I know). So, I am going to use "Frugal Friday" as my weekly series post title. Sounds much better.

Today, they had a box labled "FREE." That's right folks, F-R-E-E. Now, we're talking. How could I resist these cute wooden letters that I found inside?

I pried the little red heart off the C, gave them a sanding, and painted them red. They are now sitting on my new Billy Bookcases. How cute are they???  And, the best part of all was that they were free!!!
