Thrift store find

Just had to share this little mirrored tray I salvaged from my local good will store the other day. I had been looking for something ornate to off set the mainly hard lines in our mostly-modern living room. I must brag a bit, I bought this for a devastating $4!! I'm so glad I popped into the thrift instead of purchasing the same one on eBay ($34.00) I love it so much, it's perfect for keeping those little things look more organized plus it gives off an old Hollywood flair. What thrift store finds do you cherish?
