Such Treasures

Yesterday, I went to one thrift store. I found a soft, purple (lavender-ish) knit cotton sheet. I wanted to find a color that would work for Jeff’s t-shirts, but only purple. I don’t think he’ll want that. I could try over-dyeing it, though.
I also found:

“Power Sewing” by Sandra Betzina. I don’t like her clothing style, [...]

At the Goodwill Outlet, I bought this lot for $2:
9 mis-matched glasses, shown here in my cupboard. We really needed the glasses, having only three left from our set that has broken over the years. I used to want matching, but I think I’m drawn at the moment to an eclectic set. Four of the [...]

Yesterday, my biggest finds were sheets. And I really needed them. I have to fill an order for 15 tote bags by July 10th. One sheet has stripes of a blue denim color, soft white and grey. Another is a fun pink print that is not too overpoweringly bright. The last sheet is a really [...]

We found about 8 items of clothing (pants, shirts) for both the girls and I … altogether [...]

Yesterday we went to the Goodwill Outlet. We’d never been there before. That’s the clearinghouse for all the unsold items from the Goodwill stores in the area. The kind of place where you pay by the pound — and a pound costs 99 cents.
This is what I found, weighing a total of a pound:

As of yesterday, I hadn’t been to a thrift store for about three weeks. Yesterday, we had time to hit 2 of them and one was the priciest in our area — Goodwill.
I found 3 sheets, 2 knit (pale blue and deep purple) and 1 woven (a King-size in a rich purple-brown with a [...]
