What a fun morning we had at the thrift ! Beloved Hubby scored
several new shirts and two new pair of pants, which is what we went for. I
found a bedspread-bag full of fabric on the 25¢ table, along with a smaller bag
of bandannas. Also got a cheapie DVD set of ‘Romantic Movies’ – so we now own
two copies of Anna Karenina. We didn’t
have one before, the set is so cheap, it has AK on it twice ! Since the kid swimsuit I didn’t get last week was on
sale for a quarter, I got it and a pretty butterfly sundress I’ll cut down for
fabric, too.
Once home, I ripped into the sealed bags. Big one first. I now have
at least two yards of a deep black double-knit, about three yards of a denim
print knit, two chunks (maybe a yard total) of a rust-colored eyelet fabric
that may be textured cotton, but feels like ultra suede, a home-sewn school-print
curtain, four yards of purple and pink striped fleece, three yards of leopard print upholstery
fabric, and at least four yards each of some random print knits, one
pink/purple predominant, the other blue/green. Nearly all the fabrics are thick
and heavy, so it may be a while before I sew any of ‘em, it’s too hot right now
to !
It wasn’t until later I noticed some fake fur material in the
smaller bandana bag. But first, there was a pretty pink and white pattern on
black, a batty Halloween print, a headband scarf made from a black and white
one…and the furry thing turned out to be a winter headband, to protect ears
from vicious winds. Nice, but I thought it made a better stole for Belle, what
do you think ? (+1 if you’re humming ‘Material
Girl’ too.) All that richness for a quarter a bag !
We also went grocery shopping and got the few last things Beloved
needs for school. Then we enjoyed the rest of the day by watching Netflix,
taking naps, and chompin’ on chips. What a great Sunday. Hope you found some
fun, too !
