Thrifty Tuesday

What do you do on a gray rainy Tuesday when you're not feeling creative and cleaning is out of the question?

Go Thrifting!

I went to the PTO Thrift Shop, Goodwill and Value World. I found such treasures.

Knitting Nancys.

This cute smock. I can't tell if its homemade or not due to the perfect sewing and lack of tag.

Yarn. These looked dreamy and it looks like someone hand spun them. There was even more there in other colors but they were $5 a bag and my funds were meager. I am a new knitter with limited skills so I'm not sure what to do with them.

For my shows, I display my items on white painted metal screens and stands. I'll need to paint it white but for $5.99, it had to come home with me.

Its almost 5 feet tall and with 6 shelves I'll be able to fill it with gobs of tissue packs freeing up my table for other items.

More sheets and pillowcases. The red is destined to be ripped up and put in my rug and the others will make great totes!

More cute napkins destined to be small purses. They'll make great bags for weddings.

I had to stop at JoAnn Fabrics and this fun fabric was on sale.

Its called "Bow Wow Chow Mein". I got the last 2 1/2 yards on the bolt.

There wasn't a companion fabric to go with it so I found the animal print that looks pretty good for the bag lining, pockets and handles.

My girl is insisting at least one bag will go to her.

Close up view. I love those dogs.

I also found the boy a rumble robot and the girl a pom pon maker and finger puppet.

Not a bad day off. Tomorrow back to work!
