Danni and I are having a little get together tomorrow, so I headed out to the thrift today to find some things we need. While none of the below are what I was looking for, they still did come home with me. I got a vintage bed sheet and some much needed vintage cloth napkins because when we have had guests over for dinner, we never have napkins to give them and just use paper towels which is such a waste. These napkins will definitely be put to good use and I will soon be sewing some of my own too.
I also did a little dance when I found two cute crocheted afghans. I love those too much! One is being contemplated for a gift, but seeing the delicious color is making me think I can't part with it. The other one is for sure mine (or my girls cause they like to fight over those granny blankies too!). My granny crocheted afghan collection is growing!
Anytime I come home from the thrift, everything immediately gets thrown into the wash so they can be enjoyed asap. It is pretty crazy going out thrifting with the three girls and just me, but it is nice to get out of the house. As long as I am kinda quick and they are well fed, things go much smoother. Oh! It helps to promise them their own vintage goodies in the form of books and all is well. Thankfully.
Tomorrow will be a full and busy day, but we have something super fun planned in the evening. I will definitely be taking (and sharing) lots of pictures...
You're making me want to go out and buy thrifted afghans now, my husband is going to kill you! (He already thinks I buy too many thrifted things...)
ReplyDeletewahhhooooooo! see u manana! allllll day tmrw! be excited. get ear plugs ready because you know how loud my voice can get.

ReplyDeleteWonderful loot!!! And I LOVE crocheted afghans! I make them myself :D Cheap and a relaxing thing to do! So if you feel stressed out a little bit, just start to crochet a few minutes and you'll get calmer by the second :)
ReplyDeleteGreat finds, i have to go to these charity stores solo, my children still consider it all "dead people's stuff". You'd think they'd be used to hand-me-downs & seconds in a large family, love Posie

Yummy stuff! It's hard for me to give away my thrift finds too. And I'm glad I'm not the only one who feeds their kids right before they go in the thrift store and then bribe with books. ;) I do that every time. Can't wait to see what you do tomorrow!
ReplyDeleteThose afghans look lovely. I only ever see itchy acrylic ones.
ReplyDeleteI just found your blog and love reading it. All your posts are beautiful! Great fancy finds too.
ReplyDeleteI don't know how you do it! I feel like I need a nanny to go anywhere and I only have two. You are a super-mama!!
