Goodies For Cheap

I am not a mall person whatsoever, 

I love thrift stores and the uniqueness that comes in the items from them,

I totally believe that 'someone else's trash is another's treasure'.

It can be the smallest little find that gets me so excited,

Like last month I found a paper doll book from Emily Martin & The Black Apple for $5

(I squealed for the whole store to hear when I came across that one, ha ha,

because I've been designing some paperdolls and I loved seeing how she presented her beautiful line).

Or recently, my heart did a giddy little flutter,

when I found these threads, including the case, for something like $2.

I love making felt goodies and I knew I could use them straight away.

The thread colours put me on cloud nine, ha ha...

and I had never seen these super handy little floss divider's before, I am hooked on them now!

And just look at this...

My heart did a happy little dance when I found this ceramic cherry pie for $3.

I already scored a giant ceramic strawberry last year for my upstairs studio, it holds my muslin...

When I saw this pie, I knew it'd be the perfect place to store other fabric goodies on the go.

(bunny hair in the upstairs studio is a constant battle after all, ha ha).

...and check out the super delicate table cloth, handmade and only $2...ahhhhh.



Have you had any awesome thrifty finds lately??

Do share.

Have a fabulous summer day...
