A Thrifting We Will Go.....

Oh, so you think I have just been lazing around reading and eating bon bons.....well you're not too far off. 
I have been lazy, reading...but no bon bons.....some chocolate when I have it. 
Want see some of my finds? This shopping has been done over  period of almost 2 months...just don't want you thinking that I scooped up all of these great goodies last week. 
This imitation Thirty One bag ws .50. I still like it and I'm sure I'll make good use of it. 
The white Naturalizer sandals were $5. I don't have any dressier white sandals, just flip flops.



I just had to have this wooden turtle pen holder for $1.


I know, I know I didn't need another purse, but for $1.50 I picked it up and brought it home. I have to switch quite often. 


I've been wanting some 'scrf  jewelry' but I'm not bout to pay full price for it....so I found this coral piece attached to some really ugly scarf type necklace for .50 or $1.00. I tossed the necklace piece and put it on the scarf I made at the library. I've been wearing more coral lately, so this works pretty good. 


This Chico's jacket was on clearance for .95. I think it will work well for this fall. 


Close up of the details. 


Since my hair has changed color, so has much of my clothing. I picked up some colorful tops. 

These were $1 or $2 each....I can't remember. 

This red, sparkly top will be good for Christmas or Red Htting. 


One day children's clothing ws .25....no, that's not  typo.
I picked up this size 14-16 lightweight jacket and pair of jogging pants for my grandson.


Some shirts for my granddaughters....

They're wrinkled because I didn't wash them.
If they girls like them mom will wash the shirts. 


I picked up 2 baskets for my gardening adventures...(buy one, get one free), shoebox size container, 2 pairs of shoes for grandson J ($1 or $2-he says he can use one for gym and keep one pair here, he appreciates it.....mom doesn't give  hoot), some huge vellum leaves (.50) for scrapbooking,  plastic 12 x 12 'envelope' for scrapbook pages  & makeup. It's the white, shiny orb on the lower right. 

This is the make up....brand new compact of powder.... perfect color for me. ($2 or $3). I love it.

I know there are more little things, but this is enough.....right????
Seems like I have errands to run almost every day. I thought I was all done and could stay home thursday and friday....well....I forgot to get some money for the weekend...so I was gone once gin. I have to drive past the thrift store on my way anywhere...so guess where my car automatically pulls in??? 
On the bright side I have been dropping off quite  few bags of things too. Cleaning out my kid's stuff and soon my fall clothing will become downsized. Last fall I was too sick to give  darn. 
Thanks for shopping with me!!!!

  6. Awesome finds! I love the basket, perfect for just about anything. The tops are great! It's hard to find plus-size anything! I guess there are more "big girls." You look great!
