Near my house, there is this thrift shop in a church. I love going there because you can find a lot of vintage items. My favorite part is when its time to pay. There's this little old lady, who is always in a good mood, and who takes her job seriously. She adds everything up on a notepad!!! Going here is like going back in time.
Check out my special finds.
A bag of vintage fabric scraps,
a mighty mouse chapter book (he was my fav as a kid), and that humpty dumpty book which is from March 1966 (it has the best illustrations that I want to embroider),
some children's books,
fabrics (the coral and pink ones are linen),
some mesh thing (I don't know what its supposed to be, but I want to cut the mesh to make a produce bag for the supermarket, that way I won't have to use small plastic bags anymore), some pom pom trim and elastic cording,
a keep your bread warm thingie, a thermos and a vintage raggedy ann and andy pillowcase,
two pillow shams that will match Tyler's bedding perfectly.
All this stuff for $18.24!! :)
My kind of shopping heaven!
