Thirft Stores

Okay, I’ll be the first to admit that for the longest time I detested thrift stores. Just thinking of them brought the mothball/sanitizer/old lady smell to my nose and images of peg boards filled with headless Barbies danced in my mind. I hated some of the ugly (to me) clothes that my mom picked out and forced me to wear and there was never any of the cool stuff that all the other kids had.

I’ve decided recently though that I like thirft stores now that I’m in charge of what I buy. Did you know that Goodwill carries Fabric, notions and other crafty bits? Totally! That’s how Mom got me in there in the first place.

These were panels that I also found. Declan loves the little map blankie I made him.

I am sooo totally and completely a thrifter. I get so many ideas from walking the aisles. I also have a plethora of old things, like a 50’s era fridge, that I need to restore, and cover in blackboard paint, and then put in my house for no other purpose than to have people tell me cool it is. *grin* I love the ‘Kindly Control Yourself’ sign… if I thought the girls would listen to that, I would wallpaper the house in it. And the swastika apron is very cool too. *laugh*

I need to call you soon, KT.

Okay, I wondered if anyone else thought they were swastikas too. I didn’t even bother to look closely till I got it home. LOL

Great finds. Also great blanket you made. I am here from the Blog Love Swap. Nice site.

ooohhh, I LOVE thrifting! It’s such a good feeling to find a bargain! Nice finds! Love the aprons!
