Thrifty Goodness

I had a little me time today and went to the thrift store that's right down the road. I was looking for a dresser or buffet table/sideboard to refinish and turn into a TV stand. I didn't find one, but I found a few little things I had to have.

I absolutely love this book! It's a Better Homes & Gardens sewing book from 1961! I love old books, and the minute I saw this one I had to have it. =) And it was only $.99!!

Love this picture... and that dress! I want to make it!

I love the colors and drawings that old books have in them. So retro!

How cute are those little girls?!

I also foung these pillow cases & napkins for $.79 and $.39... love the prints! These are destined to be pillow covers for the couch. I may keep the two matching yellow ones as they are to use on the bed =)

I love thrift stores!!

Some Thrifty Finds...

I love thrift shops! I went to a few the other day on a mission... & it was a success! =)


I sat digging in a bin for a while, and found about 20 pretty cloth napkins, for 25 cents each!

They are destined to become zipper pouches or pillows...

I also found, hidden in the bottom of a bin marked "Misc. Crafts", when they should have been in the "Sewing" or "Notions" bin, I might add... all of these cool zips for $2.00!!! The three on the left are from the 50's... how awesome is that? And who kept those for that long?

This one is my favorite =)

I can't wait to see what I turn all of these into!
