Crafting with my Bible Study, Estate Sales, and Thrift Store

I haven't posted in a bit, but I have lots of things to show. First of all, I had a craft night with my Bible Study, which resulted in this button bouquet:


I found this jar in a cabinet at my parents' house and the books at an estate sale. When I was 11 my dad bought me tons of beads to make jewelery with, but I haven't made too much, so I've started using them to decorate. Oh, and that thing in the background? That's a piece of a boat, which my husband apparently has plans for... possibly a lamp or something?


Some things we've found at estate sales:
~Reader's Digest books: $1.50 for both


Empty frames: $0.25 total, I seen great things for these.


~Candle holder: $2.50


4 Canisters: $6.00

6 wine glasses: $4.00 for set

4 Jars: $1.00

Chest: $20.00

Children's books: $0.25 each


Then today, I found these pretty plates at a thrift store down the road.

I had previously found these ones in my parents' garage:


Here they are all together: I still need to get hangers for them, but I want to do a wall of plates. Anyone have any suggestions between disc hangers and wire hangers? I've been trying to decide what to use.
