Twenty Bucks Worth of Fun

Yesterday, I went thrift shopping with my sister.

I had loads of fun on just over $20, including lunch at Hunan.

I found a flannel blanket for Baby Boy. This is a great way to find soft fabric for making him toys!

Last week I found the GUESS shirt for 99 cents, in perfect condition.
For 69 cents I bought the tin cup.

One year, THGGM and I hunted EVERYWHERE to find three tin cups so we could do a Christmas stocking like Laura and Mary in the Little House Books. So, now when I find them, I buy them!

And, you know, one can never have too many wicker baby shoes!

This seriously messed up silver cup was only 99 cents.

Because it says "Baby" on it, I bought it.

I might someday polish these.

But then, I might not.
I found another globe, too.

But, mostly I bought books.

I found a hardcover Anne Rice book for Oldest Son, a book of best sport's writing for Youngest Son, two road atlas' for me (i was thinking, one for each car...but i just realized this minute, that we only have one car!), and a couple of old anthologies and assorted other books.

Baby Boy spent the day with Uncle Youngest Son. They had a fabulous time. Both of them like to watch "Cold Pizza" and Tiger games. Especially ones were the Tigers win!

"Lasher". Do you have that one? If so, you can always trade it in for one you don't have!

Now. Have you posted about your new job?

I tried to comment on your blog and a few other Blogspotters' yesterday but it wouldn't let me in! I guess it was as upset with me as Dear Hubby was, haha! Well, that's all been cleared up and now I can get on to comment...miracles never cease! I am an absolute NUT when it comes to thrift store shopping. What is the fun of retail?!? You never find any buys in a regular store like you do in a thrift store...and you can find all the eclectic, crazy stuff that fits your personality...or at least MY personality, which is a little weird to begin with anyway, lol! You should see this really cool black Tiki god that's about 4' high that I found at a Goodwill for $9.99!! I bought it a few weeks ago and my little grand poopies hadn't had the chance to see it yet. Well, I puppy sat them recently and when I took little Max out for a 'potty break'...when he spotted that thing he 'bout had a heart attack, lol! Loved your "ABC's" too. Judy, you're a hoot! Have a good weekend! :-)
