Thrifty Thursday: $1,2,3 and change!

Did you go thrifting today? If not, don't worry, you can go with me! I browsed through several Upcyclers' shops and found some fantastic bargains for just a dollar or two or three, and a bit of change! Shipping was either free or very reasonable on all of these items. Some are supplies, some are custom creations, and some are handmade products. It's remarkable that in today's high-priced world you can find beautiful found or handmade objects for crafting and uniquely designed art and goods for less than you'd pay in a craft store, gift shop or big box store! Here's some of my favorites from my treasure hunt!
