It’s Party Time Again

Five items you can thrift for your next get-together.

Whether it’s an intimate dinner party or a celebration with family and friends, the Salvation Army thrift store can help with all your party planning decor. Take a look at all the wonderful thrift store finds I used to decorate for a baby shower.

Baskets In all shapes and sizes, great for goodie bags, little treats or shoes.

Ice Bucket Keep drinks cool, display a large flower arrangement or use to hold toys for the kids. Trays Give height to a table and help keep glasses or food organized.

Candle Holders Beautiful in any size and add a nice atmosphere to the room.

Material Use as napkins and a table runner to help create a cohesive look.

It seems like a long time since I’ve been excited about decorating for a gathering with those I love. I hope this next year is full of wonderful celebrations and the most amazing second-hand finds from the Salvation Army thrift store.
