I Scored at the Thrift Store – Window to My Soul
I told you my sad saga about not getting to keep any of the fabulous, old, vintage, chippy, cool attached hardware, windows when we redid our house.
Can you tell I’m still bitter!
Anyway, finding this little beauty has helped make my bitterness go away (well, not completely but it’s a start)!
I mean, just look at her.
She’s got a sparkling personality …
a round, angelic face …
and anyone that can make me forget about the ones that got away is a keeper.
Best part – she was a mere $5!
Are you still bitter about the one that got away?

Love it! I’ve never seen a round window like that before… I’d definitely say you scored. What are you planning to do with it?
will you be bitter if I steal her and make her mine? I might have an ex or two that you can have! 🙂
I love how she poses with the tree and fall leaves, too. Isn’t she talented?? 😉

She is beautiful. I’d love to know how much something like that costs!
Don’t hate me – $5!
Wow that is a great score. So much character to that little beauty.
Kris
Nice find. What shall you hang her?
Bliss
She is lovely! Such a great find!
Oh, Kelly, I love it.
Wow, what a score! Your window is beautiful. How many times does one like that come around? It would sure take away any disappointment about other windows for me.

Pretty window, I really love that one.
Oooo….she’s very round…in a good way!
that window is gorgeous! i’d love to have your kind of thrift stores around where i live! they never have anything but someone else’s discarded junk, and i mean j.u.n.k. not the kind that can be renewed, repurposed or recreated. can’t wait to see where it finds its place in your home.
Hahahahaha….I love Jean’s comment! She is round and beautiful!
Love it!

That window is awesome! I looked for something similar forever for over my couch, but never found it.
I’ve never run across a round window Kelly! That would take the sting out 🙂 It’s pretty fab!! Whatcha gonna do with it? 🙂
Be glad you are all the way up in NJ because this TN girl would LOVE that over my fireplace!!!!!
Can I say I am SO JEALOUS without sounding too bad/mad??
Cause I am so jealous—I so wish that was MY find! Lucky girl!

Love it and the $, wow, you go girl:)! Hope you faired ok with the storm, we had lost power for a while but we were ok. Can’t wait to see what you do with it!
Oh my! Did you score or what?! This is absolutely gorgeous! Where are you going to put her? Definitely a she!!
XO,
Jane
Bitter? Naw…just like boyfriends, there’s always more fish in the sea! 🙂 But I’d hang onto that window. It’s a keeper, for sure!
Ooooh! She’s a beauty! Great snag!
It’s a beautiful start to replacing all those old chippy windows you let go during the renos. One down, um what? Like 25 or so to go …
🙂

Hi Kelly, I love your new window and can’t wait to see how you use it.
Oh wow!! That is quite a score! I was just at an antique store where I found a small oval window without a price. I grabbed it, walked up to the cashier, found out it was $120…… and sadly put it back. Great find – I love it!
$5?? You have such amazing scores! I would be so bitter about not getting all those original windows too. I think about this from time to time. I am bitter with you.
What a score! She’s gorgeous, and I’m jealous!!! 🙂
That is such a great window! Here in Australia we have a kids TV show called Play School and when I was a kid they always had a segment where they looked through a window and it flicked to a little film of something like going shopping or to the park or visiting the dentist etc. and your window just reminded me of the round window (they also had a square window and an arched window)
Can’t believe you found that beauty at a thrift store. Our stores around here just don’t carry that kind of wonderful stuff. I do understand the one that got away. And, the bitterness that comes with it. A few years back, my father-in-law demolished an 1890s farmhouse he owned without telling us in advance. He salvaged absolutely nothing. Nothing. Nothing. Bitter? Me?
LOVE your “new” window!! I would have scooped her up too…can’t beat that price 🙂
What a brilliant find and for all of $5 – love it!!!
🙂 Tina
I want to say I hate you, but I can’t…I want to say that I get so excited for you when you find such great deals!!…You are a deal magnet!!…That window is AMAZING!!…You may as well have said that you got it for free…as $5 is practically free!!…
Awesome! Have a Happy Thanksgiving! Thanks for joining me at HSH!

I am totally regretting not picking up the ceramic rooster lamp the other day, but hopefully another will cross myasthenia another day! P.S. I would have my Hubby cut a hole in the wall for that beaut!
