Thrift Shop Scores

I have not been doing much sewing of late (Insert sad face emoji here). 

I am furiously working on the wedding quilt but can't share that.  

Last night I was wanting to go visit the Sally Ann and see what they had that I might need.  

Of course, IRL, I don't *need* anything but you know what I mean right?

First I always check the appliances. 

I did see a little travel iron but I put it down.  

If I go back I may pick it up and see if it works.  

If it does it may need to come home with me.  

Then I go to the linens. 

 It is so hit or miss there. 

 Sometimes I can score GREAT dishtowels and sometimes not.  

Same with sheets.  

Well yesterday I scored BIG with the sheets!  

I found FIVE and they were amazing!! 

 Just look at those beauties!  

I can't wait to get back to making my charm packs of these.

Next is the "sheleves" area.  Dishes, baskets, knick knacks etc.  

I found this gorgeous Napcoware boy.  He is is perfect condition and just so adorable!

I usually go and look at the clothes last.  

It is always so overwhelming and I could spend HOURS looking at stuff.  

I try to focus on a few areas.  I really want to do shirts and tops but it is a HUGE undertaking. 

 I did find a cute shirt though ($3).  

On my way to the skirts the sleeves caught my attention. 

It was from the Loft and as it turns out, actually did fit me (it was a small so...).

I headed to the skirts next.  

I adore finding LuLaRoe skirts. 

 I seem to find the Azure and the Maxi most often.  

I can wear from a S to a L, so a pretty nice range. 

 I like the medium the best but some of them really vary in fit.  

I found the cutest black and white stripe skirt (no tags) that came home with me and also this maxi.

Aren't those colors so pretty?? 

 I'm not sure if I will keep this one or sell it but it is gorgeous!  

Size L if any of you are interested.  

Slinky fabric, so nice!

Last but not least, I have just started looking at PJs.  

This is where I scored big too.  

I got a beautiful pair of flannel Munki Munki PJs for a song!  

The pair I have at home is XL which is now much too big for me.  

These were M and are they ever nice.  

So soft and comfy and only $3!

I had seen the oddest piece of pottery, that my bestie collects.  

It was part of a larger set and I didn't really want to spend the money so I left it. 

 I told her and we are going to go there today. 

 I hope it is still there!

I am off tomorrow after working four 10+ hour days.  

Looking forward to that.

Hubby leaves for Canada again on Sunday so I have a week alone.

THIS time I will make better use of my time.

(no more binge watching Veronica Mars!!)

Which BTW if you have not done you should

So have a wonderful weekend and I'll be back next week.

Aren't Friends the BEST?

I am sorry that I missed WIPs With Friends on Wednesday.

  I took the day off work. I was so sick! 

 I think I slept all but 4 hours of the day yesterday.  

I am better today, (read with cold dope on board) but wowsa did this cold knock me for a loop!!! 

 I hope to be back at it next week and I hope you will have stuff to share too.

I was showing a friend the Ghastlies fabric and I think I told you all I asked on IG if anyone could share the one wee peacock with me.  

One of my friends sent me an entire FQ!!!  Woo Hoo look at that bird!!!  

Can't wait to cut into this one!

I also met up with my friend Jackie one morning and she gave me this amazing Halloween fabric to use as I can in my Hallowedding quilt!  

She also brought me some Cat Nap scraps.  This is probably one of my all time favorite lines. 

 It is no longer in production.  It was by Lizzy House.  

Those cats...swoon!!!

Thank you so much my dear sweet friend!

I have begun collecting navy and indigo fabrics for the Ocean Waves QAL quilt too. 

 I'm not sure which ones will make the final cut but it's a good start.  

I am unsure if you have heard of Lularoe clothing but I am HOOKED!

They have the softest leggings ever.

I bought a Christmas pair (it has bunnies on it) 

and this dress (called a Carly) to wear with them.

(Sorry I look like such a goof ball.  I didn't know she was taking a pic of all of me!)

Closer up of the leggings.  So comfortable!  

My husband asked if everything had to be worn with leggings and I said YES! 

 I hardly ever wear jeans anymore now.  If you are not familiar you should be!

I am off to Shipshewana for the last visit of the season today with my hubby and his sister.

I will report back, most likely on Monday so have a great weekend everyone!!
