Thrifty Thursday #82

     It's that time again. . . for me to show you how one gal's trash becomes my treasure! I don't know if I should be embarrassed to tell you how much I look forward to going to thrift stores. When I'm making a list for my errand running, and I get to write "Stop at thrift stores," I get excited! I know that there are times that I won't find anything good. I know that sometimes those stores don't smell the best. I know that what I'm looking through is stuff that somebody else decided they didn't want anymore. But that doesn't matter to me. . . maybe it's because I've always been a fan of the underdog or because I've always loved old things or because I love the challenge of taking something old and making it new again. . . I don't really know.
     Anyway, wanna see what I found?

 

I love this old pattern for girls' costumes.

Too cool for only a quarter.

 

 

I have been loving all the alphabet walls that I've seen on Pinterest. I've been slowly collecting letters, but wasn't too sure where I'd be able to hang them. Well, I figured it out this week (Yay!), and now I'm anxious to complete my collection. I got each of these for a dollar. They have a label on them from Pottery Barn.

I love the shiny sleekness of them.

 

This pearl bracelet was only $.75.

The beads are in good shape and they will make an awesome part of a "new" piece of jewelry.

 

Aren't these a fun childhood flashback?

I've noticed a trend in scrapbooking using these View master reels. I got these for a dime apiece and they will be featured on an upcoming Layout of the Week tutorial.

 

I've been on a Nicholas Sparks jazz lately, so I was excited to pick up this for fifty cents. I thought that I had already read it, but it turns out that I hadn't!

Is it just me, or does he make you cry at some point in every story he writes?

 

That's all my treasures for this week. Did you notice that I have plans for everything I bought? That's such a good feeling. I try not to buy something if I don't think I'm going to use it in the near future.

 

 If you enjoyed this post, stop back next Thursday for another rendition of thrift store purchases. :)

 

Thanks for stopping by and God bless.

 

 Hear my prayer, O Lord, and let my cry come to You.

Psalm 102:1
