thrifty thursday

It's been almost a month since my last trip.

I had a bunch of errands

so I didn't plan to shop long.

I ended up spending almost an hour and a half

at the Salvation Army!

I am just tickled with today's finds!

I thought this pillowcase would be perfect for a slip for Lily!

I love the extra detail on the hem.

I could not believe my good fortune;

these gorgeous vintage sheets

here

in NW Arkansas!!

I had decided all the really good ones lived elsewhere...

When I was checking out

the gal told me the linens were half-off.

I had her charge me for one more and ran back to get this gaudy thing

I don't know why I like it

but I do.

Those red flowers are about 10 or 11 inches across!

My favorite purchase

though

was this case

for

$1

or maybe it was these....

$1.50 for both of them!

I was so glad TJ wasn't with me;

we'd have had a fight on our hands for sure.

They had two totally awesome ugly vintage chairs

that I had to leave there;

no room in the inn.

maybe Lana can go snatch them up....

All together

I got

1 skirt to use as fabric

another skirt (perhaps wool?)

that looks like it should fit a dear friend of mine quite nicely

a pair of jammies for Lex'

almost 4 yards of floral knit fabric

3 sheets

1 pillowcase

8 glasses for the freezer, for milk - yum!

5 board things - not sure what they are

but I plan to use them as lap desks for the kids

a fabulous sturdy basket - with liner

a large square jar for ribbons for my sewing nook

sandals

the suitcase that makes me giddy just looking at it

and

those incredible card catalog steel boxes

for

- get this -

eleven dollars and fifty cents!!!

I don't know if I should believe this or not

but

my mother swears

that I was once mortified

because someone complimented an outfit

and she told them we'd got it at the thrift shop for $2.

sorry, Mom!
