Tuesday Thrifting

Yes, yes, believe it or not, I took a quick trip to the thrift store last night.

I found two cute little things for Baby Boy in 18 month sizes. Some of his 12 month sizes are stretched to the limit.

I found some old red velveteen ribbon, a large heart-shaped cookie cutter and a glass salt shaker.

And, another flannel blanket for toy making. This one is khaki and white plaid.

When I passed by the small stand that holds patterns and old craft magazines, I saw a brown envelope. It was from the days when name, street, city and state were enough to get the goods to your door. It was .69 cents, so I bought it - sight unseen.

What I got were DOZENS of patterns - for embroidery, stenciling, sewing - and best of all - a pattern for felt baby shoes!

I have been so thrilled ever since!

It was all under five dollars.

(i am SUCH a cheap date!)

Dear Hubby and I went to the Goodwill in Sandy, OR, on Saturday and I found a Baby Loony Tunes sleeper still with its original price tag! Sure is fun shopping for baby clothes again, isn't it? And having little baby toys scattered across the floor, the warm dampness of a little body cuddled close when they drift off to sleep.
