But, I had breakfast with some friends and found myself near my favorite thrift. (Yes, within 3 miles is near.)
A little voice told me I should stop and go in. Call it a Thrifting Instinct, telling me there was something good waiting for me.
And really, why not just take a quick peek while I was in the neighborhood?
There wasn't anything spectacular and I wondered why I was wasting my time there. Then something colorful caught my eye.
A nice piece of vintage faric....
And then a few more pieces.....
And after digging through the entire bin, a nice little pile! (I even have an idea for a project already.)
This interesting man's shirt also caught my eye.
Especially when I looked at the tag. I don't know what I'll do with it, but it's Versace for goodness sake! I couldn't leave it there.
And my last little treasure. A vintage Snowman apron.Have you found any treasures lately?

Why is it that when I go to the thrift store I just find junk....you always find the best treasures!!! NOT FAIR!!! Love all that fabric! I got my polka dot material at JoAnn's they were having some weird sale for the day...it was on a cart all by itself, with orange, green, and pink polka dot material! I think I just lucked out for the day! Plus I took the very last of all of it!! That's probably why it was out there! Love reading your blog!!!
okay- I dont need to go thrifting anymore. I seriously just want to walk into your spare bedroom, and shop THERE!
GREAT FINDS!
love the "thrift radar" :) Great finds Christy!!!!
Christy, Awesome score! I love the Versace shirt. It might be cool for the center blocks for a quilt. A 4 section in the middle of some pieced blocks like you just did. I am just thinking.
I don't know if you went to the outlet or not, but it amazes me when you find a versace shirt there or some other designer lovely.
I LOVE the pretty, vintage fabric that you found! Don't you just love good thrifting days?
I enjoy reading your blog.
The thirft instict paid off. you got a great haul! I just went thrifting this morning. I didn't find any fabric but I did get a few more books and a vintage shirt that I hope I can get clean and make a dress out of it for Nature Girl.
