just stopping by to post this brag photo showing my best frugal find yet. Little One and I went to Goodwill this past Sunday and I found some great things. Don't know about you but I have a little challenge for myself when shopping at Goodwill. I will only buy the tag sale items of the day, only if I absolutely need to buy an item that I cannot find cheaper any other place will I break down and pay their "retail " price. Some may call me cheap, but I get a great kick out of being able to find things I like and save a bundle.
We ended up with some books, a stuffed lab for Little One (see last post), about 8 pcs of clothing (2 business slacks with their original tags still on, original prices around $45, tag sale prices 99cents!!!). Some of the clothes will be used to be remade, will post pics as soon as I finish some of them.
But the best find of all was in the Linen Department. I have a love for vintage sheets - cabbage roses, shabby-chic colors and prints make me happy. Normally I might find one or two during the tag sales, on Sunday I found 11 sheets and pillow case sets!!! With one exception they were all 99 cents apiece!
Here's proof:
The clothes I will be remaking and the pillow cases are on the left, the big sheets are on the right. I really like the eyelet lace on 2 of them, it will take a bit of time to remove it but I just love giving these little gems a new life!
Well, looks like Teenage Offspring is ready to start on some cleaning chores and needs my help moving some furniture - he is in charge of the floors and of course he only sweeps around the furniture and there are some serious dust bunnies hiding out under the nightstands and the bed in the master bedroom.
Have an awesome summer day - it looks to be a glorious one here in our neck of the woods; hoping for some fun time in the yard later today with the dogs and kiddos.
