It's Monday so that means it's time to show your thriftstore/yardsale treasures! Be sure to visit Rhoda at Southern Hospitality for more Today's Thrifty Treasures.
I got a couple of things at Goodwill last week and I'd like to share one of them with you today. It didn't even need painting or anything! Although I'm thinking about painting the frame! Right now there's a watercolor on the opposite wall with similar colorations so I think it works.
This pretty bird picture was $4.54 Y - Y stands for yellow and all yellow tags were 50% off. So it was $2.27!
I already had this picture below from the thriftstore that I made over. See the before here.
I also had this 1/2 yard by Paul de Longpre which I got at the Lakewood Flea Market in Atlanta long ago.
They say you need three to make a collection. So that means I now have a bird print collection! I really love anything to do with nature and my backyard is filled with birds that we enjoy watching. So I decided to take down my rose pictures and make this a wall of bird prints.
As you can see I have plenty of room for any new ones that I may find!
Thanks for dropping by to see this weeks thriftstore treasure!

Love the finds! Come by and check out Ashley's finds... she got some great hat boxes for $2 each!
What a great find! I think it would be pretty with the frame painted cream to match your other bird prints. Such a pretty corner in your house!

The bird prints are so nice. I find myself more and more attracted to them and am using them in my little projects.
I'm a sucker for anything "birdy"! You've got the start of a wonderful collection!
The prints look wonderful! It is so nice to change a grouping. It makes us feel like it is a new place be visit.
Thank you for sharing.

Nice finds Manuela. They should great with the collection you have now. You always find good things. It's going to be in the 3 digits over here so I'm preparing myself for it. Have a great day.
Love the new bird print.. I agree with Christy...it would look good with the frame painted to match your other ones. :)

Hey, I love your birdie prints! You've done good with those & they are perfect in that spot. Thanks for playing along today.
Your bird prints are wonderful but I really love the new one! You have room for a bunch more - happy hunting! Bird (picture) hunting. ~Adrienne~
Love all of them and how you hung them together!
Great finds (as usual) Manuela! I love all of the bird prints, they always bring a smile to my face :)
Wow, I love all this. Great finds! I love all the bird prints. Can't seem to get enough of those! Great post.

So adorable! Don't you just love finding deals at thrift stores?!
Have a great day!

Love your corner of bird prints. Great finds.
Hi Manuela,
I'm positive that's a Marjolein Bastin piece too. I love her work and she is an artist for Hallmark (or at least she was). She resides in the Netherlands I believe. Lovely picture!
I found this website of her here:

I would love to starting collecting bird prints. But then I would have to take something else down that I love just as much. I need a bigger house or more walls.
I love your finds. that picture has so much character, I love it.
I love your bird prints! Right up my ally- love birds:)
And what a great deal!!
Happy Monday!

That's an adorable collection!!

All of your bird pictures are beautiful! I think this recent one you found last week is darling! (And it is always nice to find something that doesn't need any work!) I hope you had a good Monday! :)
Love your bird "wall". All of the prints are so pretty, and since I love birds, this really appealed to me. laurie
Birds are like bunnies...you just can't have too many...
Blessings....Betty
What wonderful finds! Love how you have them grouped. I can see someone laying in that bed enjoying the new view:)
Oh my goodness. I love both of them, but the long one is just fabulous. Looks great in the frame. What a pretty bird wall.
A very cool collection for a lady who obviously enjoys feathering her nest! Thanks for sharing your finds. Blessings!
Love all of the birds!!
