[Popsicle sticks because I am now obsessed with being able to do this.]
And these scarves:
And this (which, of course, they don't make anything like anymore):
[New in the box!]
On sale, remember. It was $1.25. I would have gladly given them upwards of $20 on the spot. Hooray, consumer surplus!! I have been really wanting some breastfeeding art for some time now. This is perfect. (Loosely translated, it says, "Breast is best" in Spanish.) Love, love, love!
And then I went to another thrift store and bought some more cool stuff, and it somehow still all fit in the trailer (and Lucy didn't even have to walk!).
Said cool stuff:
[Completed and non-completed crewel embroidery. I can't say no.]
[Multi-colored film reel spools. Will probably end up in the supply shop.]
["Checkers": A checker board and some poker chips. Lucy saw people playing checkers on Sesame Street a week or two ago and has been obsessed.]
[Aaaand, jaunty embroidered cap for me!]
I spent about $15 all together. Yep.
OK, so what's the best thing you've ever found second-hand? Do you feel, like I do, that it was waiting just for you? I'm curious!

Nice finds! A couple of weeks ago I went to one of the Goodwill stores in Norman and came home with 3 shirts, a pair of nice slacks and two tops for under $20. Almost all of it is business dress appropriate, and I was looking for clothes to wear for a conference and future job interview and it saved a ton of money! I was so proud when I came home and had Thomas try to guess what I paid and where I bought them.
My sister has been doing a lot of thrift shopping lately and she was my inspiration to test my luck and see what I could find. I might be hooked now...

I found my best dress (that blue one with darker blue flowers) in a thrift store several years ago. I wasn't sure of it at the time (I think it may have been $5-$10, oh goodness), but I really liked it. Ashley told me to get it, I did, and I've been enjoying it since. Fits me practically perfectly and a very flattering style.
Nice! My best thrift store find? A Coldwater Creek little black dress EXACTLY my size (which isn't easy to find, BTW) with no flaws, for a mere $3.98.
