Thrifty Friday Morning

I'm off to an even early start than usual this weekend.

I thrift shopped alone today.

I needed to unwind after the doctor's appointment for my parents.

Eight dollars worth of thrift, and now I am relatively calm.

I found Calvin Klein overalls and an airplane shirt for Baby Boy.

I also found a Dr. Seuss book that I didn't have.

And, "A Sleepy Story" I buy whenever I find it. I love this story, and it made ME tired every time I read it to my kids.

I also found "Flannery O'Connor - The Complete Stories". Oh, I'm not sure why, maybe for those nights that I don't WANT to sleep.

I found these two books for one dollar each.

They will do nicely for the altered book project that I am carrying around in my head.



I just LOVE the details - especially the embossed cover.

In the past, I could not rip apart books. But these have rather brown and brittle pages, so they call out to be altered. Don't they?

Mom and Dad did very well at the doctor. Mom had a biopsy just as a precaution. When I brought them home, neither one had remembered keys. Thankfully, I live close and have a key at my house. But, from here on out I will be announcing before we leave ANYWHERE - "I don't care if you don't have to go to the bathroom right now, you are going to try anyway."

Because I'm the daughter and I said so.
