I didn't want to leave that Stinky post up at the top any longer than I had to. Let's just say, Been there, done that - all cleaned up, taken to a dumpster and the freezer has been Freecycled. People will take anything!
On to better things - Thrifting! Yesterday The Bean and I ran to the Super Cheap Thrift (on the way to the library to take a virtual field trip inside an active volvano via the Internet). The thrift seems so gloomy since the Christmas items are all gone. I went to the bathroom while I was there and all the leftover and new donations of Christmas decorations were boxed up inside the bathroom. I wanted to dig SO BAD, but I was good.
On to the finds:
I also got a big shadow box (with a Hobby Lobby tag on it for $29.99) for $3.50. Kind of hard and boring to take a photo of a glass fronted box. I have a use for it and plan to do that tomorrow.
Our local library is very small. People are very generous to donate all their old books to the library. Since the library is pretty small, they can't shelve all the donated books so they always have several boxes of free books and several shelves of really good books for sale. Hardbacks are 50¢ and paperbacks/children's books are 25¢. We found about twelve really nice brand new hardback educational books for The Bean which is nice. I'd rather own books that we can pull out and use when we need them, rather than try to check them out or buy them at the drop of a hat.
Yesterday they had several old books, which they normally throw in the free bin (and I miss out on).
Have you found anything lately?
I love those books! Nice grabs? Finds? No. I haven't been thrifting/rummaging for MONTHS! *sniff* I hate winter in MN.
ReplyDeleteI love old children's books too. They usually come home with me if they're in good shape.
ReplyDeleteI had that Peter pan book as a child--I loved it. I loved the tall skinny shape of it. Those bird books are wonderful too--way to go on the thrifting. I am going tomorrow-yippee
