Just thought I would show you some
of the junk stuff
I found this week at,
of course,
DI
For those who may not be familiar with DI
DI is short for Deseret Industries.
It is a thrift store, (like Goodwill).
Millions of things are donated
to DI every day.
This is from the official site
Deseret Industries
Deseret Industries is both a nonprofit, vocational rehabilitation facility and a thrift store.
Deseret Industries is composed of three related parts.
First, trainees work, receive training, and find long-term employment.
Second, the public may purchase inexpensive,
quality merchandise in a clean, safe retail environment.
To those in need, merchandise is provided at no cost.
Third, all people may provide meaningful service through
the donation of time and merchandise.
Deseret Industries is sponsored by
The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints.
Established in 1938 as a single thrift store,
today there are 46 stores serving people
in seven western states:
Arizona, California, Idaho, Nevada, Oregon, Utah, and Washington.
I am really lucky because I have a DI in my community
I go there all the time just to check things out
see if there is any junk treasures I might need want.
So here is some of my finds for this week,

I love your new side table, it will look great black and the mini cloche is cute!
ReplyDeleteI'm loving that table!
ReplyDeleteI love all the things you got! I am so jealous of your ability to snatch things up & recreate them! I don't have any space to do that. I guess I'll just have to keep reading your blog to get my DIY furniture fix ;)
