Another time I picked up a smallish white casserole dish and dressing cruet for about $4. I also found a St. John cardigan for $4 that needed a bit of hemming (luckily I can sew), and I sold it on Ebay for $47.

Okay, my favorite and most recent thrift store repurposing was a truck bookshelf made for my son. I was inspired by people using IKEA spice racks and went looking for one at my Goodwill. I found a little wooden crate instead that worked perfect.
