Our favorite thrift store in town is open Wed-Sat, thus making Wednesday the ideal day to shop since they have been closed for a few days (and restocking). It's part of our Wednesday routine now to stop into the thrift store to see what new "treasures" we can find. Thrifting is alot like treasure hunting but here someone else's trash becomes someone's new treasure. Everyone has their favorite sections - Allie & Abbey head to see if there are any new Barbie's (because I will only buy used Barbie's - they break too easily), Melissa first checks the luggage area (because she wants a tote like this one) then she looks at the books, the Twins pretty much look over all the toys and stuffed animals, and I head to the housewares. Little glass plates that are prefect for dessert for 20 cents a piece are my kind of find. Or a cast iron skillet that just needs a little tlc - $5. Score!
Here's our loot from our last visit:
A dehydrator for $15 (not sure if this is a good one or not - anyone know?) but I've been wanting to make some homemade snacks like these yummy (and healthy) cookies I saw posted on the Green and Crunchy blog so I was super excited to find this. Two pillowcases for $1 each to make some little pillowcase dresses (love the ruffles on the ends here) and two sweet little books about the "Five Little Peppers" for 50 cents.
Looking forward to next week's hunt!
