Fun Finds is honored to welcome BARB TOBIAS, America’s “Thrift Talk” Diva, an admitted thrift-aholic. This veteran radio and TV personality has crisscrossed the nation in her search for fabulously frugal finds. She is the Diva of stunning interiors, turning the forgotten into the unforgettable- for a fraction of the cost. Barbara now shares her secrets to finding deals, repurposing before tossing and renewing things others view as passe,’ in her recent book release Tossed & Found.
Her tell-all book is not only a journey of personal transformation, but teaches a newly frugal nation how to purchase, purge and profit from consignment and thrift.
Join us for an evening with Barb and learn the inside scoop to frugal decorating.
We look forward to seeing you at our Canton Consignment store! Right behind the Dairy Queen on Marietta Highway!

When most people think of CONSIGNMENT they think of THRIFT. There are many different CONSIGNMENT stores. FUN FINDS AND DESIGNS, INC is an upscale, home decor consignment store whose goal is to bring you the “designer look” for bargain prices. Recently working with Nancy from Dawsonville, FF&D transformed a very pretty room that Nancy had enjoyed for 10 years into a more modern look that she will be able to enjoy for the next 10 years.
The beauty of this transformation is that she was able to complete this room for LESS than what she would have spent on ONE SOFA from a furniture store. Consignment items in this picture included: Pottery Barn style sofa, soft green with contrasting piping; Hand hooked wool decorative rug; (2) Black lacquered side chairs with upholstered seats; round occasional table with reclaimed wood top and wrought iron base used for a coffee table; accent pillows. Nancy already had the floor lamps that we incorporated into the space along with a few plants to soften.
It was fun, fast and saved Nancy hundreds of dollars. ONE STOP SHOPPING. Now that is a BEAUTIFUL THING!

Tuesday nights Design Workshop on Outdoor Living was a big success. 45 people in attendance from Canton, Woodstock, Big Canoe, Lake Arrowhead, Jasper, Holly Springs, Roswell, Alpharetta, Marietta and more. It was a great crowd and lots of fun.
We had a little different format this time in that we did not have a Professional Designer do our presentation. We chose two amateur gardners, who love to play in the dirt and create beautiful patios, decks and gardens, do the honors. Terry Anderson and Cristina Stafford, next door neighbors with self taught skills and creative eyes, shared some of their beautiful techniques and secrets. Here are a few of the COOL IDEAS that were presented. ENJOY!
Benches Birdhouses Colorful Furniture Cozy Corners
Potted Herb Gardens Layering for interest Mixing Pots & Color Screen Doors for interest
Accessories are always the fun part. Colorful oil lamps for lighting, candles and more candles, single stem flowers for interest and simple watering cans brough alive by florals and greenery.
Patios and Decks can be fun and certainly a welcoming outdoor room to your home. In fact the same fundamentals of design apply to outside as well as in.
Hope you enjoyed your Springtime show. I know we did. See you next time! Betty
