A Thrifty Saturday Indeed...

So today was AWESOME, I scored in a major way thrifting with my mom. Gosh I love her patience with my as I look through EVERYTHING! The hard work was worth it just look at my haul...

I can't wait to show you what I plan on using these patterns from the 50's-70's on in Project Restyle and the books look awesome on my book shelf in the living room! My favorite finds were the two enamel brooches I found for $7.00 total...seriously!





During my adventure at the Salvation Army I was cornered by a gentleman who informed me that he was surprised that someone my age knew how to read and how our country was going to pot and how I need at least six months of food stored just in case. Not only all of that but how I needed to drive said food in pvc pipes out to the country at coordinates known only to myself and bury it 14 feet underground!

See what I went through to find these precious treasures! I hope that having someone actually listen to him was the highlight of his day, my mom just kept staring at me like I was the crazy one. What did I get myself into by being polite? If you went thrifting I hope your score was as awesome for you as mine!
