Today my mom and I (and J3) hit some thrift stores and here are my finds:
- Purple measuring cups and spoons (new but cheap)
- Salad spinner (new but cheap)
- Pyrex casserole dish with lid
- Frying pan with VERY deep sides – almost remind me of a wok
- butter dish
- citrus juicer (for my boy who is always sucking on a lemon or orange or whatever we have – this will be a better option)
- Ice cream scoop
and most exciting…at the shop that was 50% off everything today…
Bernat - 100% cotton
12 skeins for…..do you want to guess? Well forget it…it was $2.50 for all of it!! That is $.21/skein!! And I love using cotton yarns!
But that wasn’t all!
Tahki Donegal Tweed - Homespun
4 skeins! For $1.15!! That is $.29/skein!
So I didn’t find everything I wanted, but I am excited about what I did find!!
Thrift store yarn is AWESOME! Here in Vacaville we have the Opportunity House thrift shop and I’ve found lovely yarn and notions there several times. Once I bought a WIP sweater (needles still attached), frogged the yarn, and made a scarf and a cowl from it! If you’re ever down Vacaville way, you should check it out.
