live. love. scrap.: Thrifty Thursday #127

In this day and age, things seem to be so expensive.

It's unbelievable how much it costs to go see a movie.

Taking a family of four out to eat is no joke, and

I hate to tell you what my groceries cost every week. :)

But there's one place I can go with just a handful of coins or a couple of dollars

and come out with some good stuff- the thrift store.

All of today's finds cost me a total of $2.35.

Isn't this a beautiful pattern?

I got this plate for a dollar.

It's for a friend.

I've made several pillows lately and I always love adding trim to the edges- especially pom pom trim.

I got this bag of white and yellow pom pom trim for fifty cents.

This cork board with a nice frame was only fifty cents.

I'll probably hang it in my son's room.

The thrift store was having a sale on books.

I got these two hardbacks for ten cents!

It's hard to tell what this is, so I'll tell you.

Its a wooden base about 2 or 3 inches tall.

At this time, I can't think of anything that needs a base, but I'm sure that I'll come up with something.

I couldn't pass it by for a quarter!

None of these things are cool enough to knock your socks off, but still bought brand new, they would have cost way more.

If you've never shopped at a thrift store, give it a try. You may find something awesome.

Thanks for stopping by and God bless.

Let the peoples praise You, O God; let all the peoples praise You.

Psalm 67:3
