So -- yes, my name is Rita Farro. And I'm addicted to thrift store shopping.
DUH!!
So, in the interest of full disclosure...here's a typical one-day haul...ugh...
 |
| A flannel pillowcase with pictures of dogs!! (99 cents) |
 |
| And that white dog looks like Sophie... |
Then -- at the back of the store (Salvation Army) -- there is a RACK of bolts of fabric...
 |
| On closer inspection -- I see it's all Amy Butler fabric. There are dozens of bolts...some with just a few yards...others almost full... |
 |
| This bolt cost $4.99... |
 |
| And, there was more than 10 yards of fabric !! |
 |
| A vintage white cotton sheet for $4. |
 |
| And a GORGEOUS, heavy off-white cotton sheet |
 |
| That looks like it had never been washed...($4) |
There was also a few puzzles, and a Win, Lose or Draw game...And -- OH WAIT FOR IT -- a perfect little portable TYPEWRITER for $5. I have NO IDEA if the kids will enjoy playing with this thing...but I figured it was worth $5 just to give them a little walk down memory lane...
(Did you see the bit on the Late Show where the teenagers could not figure out how to work a dial telephone?)
Anyway -- it's supposed to snow this weekend, so we'll have some unusual activities...
