Thrifty Thursday Friday

I meant to post some of these photos yesterday, but it was a busy day. So, this week's Thrifty Thursday is actually Thrifty Friday.

Here are my treasures:

Set of 4 Waverly Home Classics for Kids valances.

(Nathan's not really into fire engines, so I'll probably sell these.)


A few yards of fabric.


A scrub shirt and housedress.

(I don't wear either scrubs or housedresses. I bought these strictly for the fabric.)


Four sheets. Vintage and new.




Two vintage half aprons.

(I'm a messy cook who needs full aprons, so these will probably be sold too.)

And my favorite find.....

It's E.T.!

(The big question....should I use this apron or keep it as a collectible?)

Oh Thrifty Thursday sounds fun! The half aprons are very cute and the E.T. is a fabulous find. I'm sure it's a collectible but if you love it just wear it and enjoy it. It's better to use it and enjoy it then to hide it away in a closet because it's a collectible. That's my vote anyway. Have a great weekend!

oh wow! love that ET apron... you need to save that to show it off to houseguests! I love it! If you're looking into selling that patriotic fabric I might want to buy it!

Wow, what a haul! I love in no particular order: the patriotic animals, the paris pattern fabric with the ladies, and that ET apron is perfection. You find the best stuff! You are truly a champion digger! :O)

I love the fabric with the ladies on it. It is very cute!

How funny that you should have the ET Apron, it was on TV yesterday.

Oh wow! How I *loved* ET. I was really too old to believe, but I wanted too so badly!

I say keep it and wear it for entertaining. What a conversation starter! Has Nathan seen the movie? I saw it at an anniversary screening at the directors guild a year ago or so and it still holds up. It's as wonderful as I remembered.
