Well. You'll NEVER Guess Where I Went Today.

I found some great treasures (well, to me anyway) at one of my favorite thrift stores. I wasn't even planning to go thrift shopping, but THGGM had to pick something up somewhere else, and he dropped me off there while he ran his errand.

I found this old strand of Christmas beads. It was priced the same as those icky beads they throw at Mardi Gras.

I also found the old tinsel garland. I'm thinking I might just avoid the attic altogether this year and buy thrift store Christmas stuff, and bring it all back in January!

I'm sure I will think of something to make with these old wooden beads, which I've already put into a really great milk bottle I found marked Racine, Wisconsin.

The china head seemed interesting to me. I have an idea for her. If it ever happens, I'll put her on my Inky Fingers blog for the world to admire. Or, laugh at. Whatever.

I found the multicolored tiny ornaments for only 49 cents.

The "Prayer Changes Things" plaque was the same.

Actually, so much of what I bought looked like it came from the same people.

I thought this little girl needed to be rescued. She looks to me like she would have been interesting to know.

I might have to write a story about her. I'll name her Lily, and have her be the one who is preserving her belongs for me to find in a distant time.

And, I will treasure them as she did.
