I have had so much fun today. It’s been very relaxed. I had to take a day to myself and go thrift store hopping. Today was not a day of 5-minute walk-throughs. Today was the kind of thrift store shopping day where you look at every single thing on every single table. ~:-D
(My daughter thinks that you’ll think she’s in the pictured T-shirt, but you know she’s just crouching behind the couch, right? I thought so.)
Today’s catch:
- Four pairs of kids’ jeans
- One pair of girl’s sweats
- Two girl’s T shirts
- Pajama pants for me
- Framed Jessie Willcox-Smith print
- 17 books
- A new sweater for me
- Two blouses for me
- A cool, military-type T-shirt for my oldest boy
- A beautiful, old wooden trinket box
- Some old silverware
- A pajama top for me
And probably more, but that’s what I can think of right now. Some of the treasures I expound on a little more over at my other site, Lynn’s Victorian Treasures.
You know how I love books, and any time I see a FIAR book that I can put in our collection, I buy it. I think my children will want copies for their children.
I found a sheer black blouse for me, which of course I will wear over a black tank or similar. It’ll be nice for when we go out to eat.
On the way home, I stopped by Barnes and Noble to pick up something that Barb from FIAR mentioned. It’s the Paperclips Movie. It’s about a rural Tennessee school that ends up doing an amazing thing or two while studying the holocaust. We are planning to view this as a family on Thursday evening of this week.
In light of our painting efforts of late, I think this was a good find. A coloring book – with only two pages colored on at all — of many great masterpieces.
I guess that’s all for now. Hope your Tuesday has been as good as mine. Now tomorrow I have to buckle down and get some grocery shopping done and straighten the house up and write up some lesson plans.

What great finds!
We have tons of thrift stores in our area but I can never seem to find anything!
I am going to really start taking my time and looking more carefully!
Wishing you a blessed day!
I live in an area that’s just bounding with great thrift stores. I donate in addition to shopping. Many of the stores are set up to help the schools and churches, so a lot of folks donate. I do think going in regularly, though, helps out too. Happy Shopping! Lynn ~:-D
Great finds! I love shopping in the thrift stores near me and finding treasures.
