Thrift Store Finds :-)

[Tracey4610]

Yesterday I went to a thrift store near a friend's house and found 3 balls of crochet thread, a HUGE kit of craft cards called "Family Craft Cards" which range from woodworking, to crocheting (the patterns are blech!), to sewing, to metalwork, clay, etc., which I got for $2.99, and I found a Singer book called "Sewing for Children". The pics in the book are a bit outdated, but there is a chapter on Heirloom Sewing. I'm currently working on a project which incorporates translating sewing techniques into crochet, and this was a great find!! Including the 2 children's books and a crosstitch alphabet book, all-in-all I only spent $5.68! (The thread, all 3 together, only cost $1.00!) Needless to say, I'm on because I had no idea on the measurements for a baby bonnet (I'm trying to write one for my 1st christening dress), and this book has the instructions and measurements!! Now I know what to do!! Anyone wanna celebrate with me?

I love finding deals like that at the thrift store; or a garage sale. I found a whole stash of kn*tting needles, yarn, stitch markers, you name it at a garage sale a few years ago. WIth my mouth hanging open, I said 'Why are you selling all your knitting supplies!?' She said she had carpal tunnel so bad she couldn't knit anymore. I've found three bags of yarn for less than six dollars at the Goodwill. I love thrift store finds! Congratulations on your find(s).

Last week I found tons of yarn at the Salvation Army, 50 cents a skein. I bought 15 of them. They were acrylic in great condition.

Good on you. I like to think that God has just re-allocated resources into the hands of one who will use and value them.

I have got to start going to Thrift Shops! I've gotten to where I do little shopping at all (besides grocery!) and I forget about them.

 

Way to go!

Wow, that's great. I guess I have to find some time to go around those thrift store to see what I find!
