What a Find!

I love a good thrift store find. They are getting very rare for me though. Mostly because I haven't even gone to a thrift store in months- also because a lot more people are thrifting so the pickings are slim. I didn't plan to stop this morning, but I thought I might find another pair of uniform pants or shorts for Julian. In my calculations, I didn't factor in that he'd need a set of "accident" clothes. I ended up at a store that I don't even like that much. They price everything in anticipation of the one day a month when it's all half off. Anyway, I did find a pair of suitable pants for Juju and then a pair of shoes caught my eye. I have little feet and I can wear kids sizes. These fit perfectly! (I know, I know, thrift store shoes- ick, BUT for the right shoe, you can always throw in insoles and they're fine.) Here's my find:

Love the hand embroidering!

The last photo was artistic, this is a better view! They have hand stitched rag soles too.

Disciplined Training

Thursday, August 2~

A thrift store find from earlier this week. Remember the Care Bears?!

   Today just feels like a pool day, so we're off to the pool in a little bit. 

  As the Olympics continues, here's a thought that's applicable: "No discipline seems pleasant at the time, but painful. Later on, however, it produces a harvest of righteousness and peace for those who have been trained by it. Therefore, strengthen your feeble arms and weak knees." Hebrews 12:11-13

Fans

from June 26, 2012~  Just after my wedding, I found 2 boxes of Asian hand fans at a thrift store. I added them to my collection and promptly forgot about them. Nowadays, I'm more in a clear out than collect mode so when I came across these again, I immediately thought they'd be great to sell. Then I started opening them to see if the were moldy or torn. They are not... and they are gorgeous, yes, every single one has a unique, detailed watercolor print on it. I'm having serious second thoughts about letting them go. I do help with events now and then so I may just hold on to these a bit longer. They don't take up too much room. =)

 


Find of the Day

from April 12, 2012~



   Did a little thrifting today. My friend Heather spotted these excellent Doc Martens. Definitely my favorite purchase of the day! We also found an interesting collection of bolo ties and a burl wood cork screw. Love quirky stuff like that.
