So, as much as I love talking about SWEDISH DEATH CLEANING...the simple fact remains. My name is Rita and I AM ADDICTED TO THRIFTING...
And -- I mean -- who doesn't love finding something like THIS???
 |
| A box, wrapped in it's original cellophane... |
 |
| With two pristine "fine percale" pink trimmed pillowcases!! |
 |
| SO STUNNING..!! |
 |
| AND how about this? 100% cotton, 200 thread count, brand new Queen fitted sheet. |
 |
| In it's original cellophane. The price on the back had NO BARCODE... |
 |
| The cotton is lux -- and I love the stripe pattern....but I knew the fitted corners would not be deep enough. |
 |
| NO PROBLEM...I cut the elastic off (4" from the edge)....then, added 4" of a random gray fabric. |
 |
I marked the sheet every two feet or so...which made it much easier when I reattached the original elastic.
|
I''m telling you -- THERE IS NO END TO THE SIMPLE JOY THRIFTING BRINGS ME....
But I really MUST START GETTING RID OF SOME OF THIS TREASURE..!!
Your Franken-sewing solutions are often quite brilliant! :)
