Thrift Store SCORE!

Last weekend, I visited a local charity thrift store that I've been to several times & enjoyed. Well, this time, I really hit the jackpot! The store was packed full, so they must have just gotten done putting a bunch of "new" stuff out. I got ALL of this--plus the toy Ambulance pictured below--for $28!!



I love how they happen to have the baby girl clothing right next to the toy section so I can shop for clothes for my daughter while my son peruses the toys. Maybe that's how I ended up with 3 dresses, 4 shirts, a pair of capri pants, and a pair of Stride Right shoes (that look new)~each for $1 to $1.50! I found a Fisher Price plush sea horse for $1 that I've almost purchased several times for full price at Walmart. It's belly glows & it makes the softest music ever! I also got a FP Elephant toy that plays music & happens to match a train set we already own.



I found this toy ambulance in a cart of items that had just been priced & ready to put out on the floor. I snatched it up & my son was thrilled. At first I didn't even realize it, but then I noticed that it's Playmobil. If you're not familiar with Playmobil, they make wonderful, detailed (Expensive!) toys. When we got home, I couldn't help but to look up this exact ambulance online to see what it retails for...it's $45! Guess what I paid? Yep, $1! SCORE!




My son has been asking for the game "Operation." While at the check out, an employee wheeled out a cartload of games & I spotted it-the original version that I had as a kid--for $1 of course!

I'm so happy with this lamp! I've been keeping my eye out for a new lamp for my office that I could spray paint & spruce up. Well, I found this solid wood one that will match nicely for $6. I'm almost sad that I don't have to do anything to it to make it pretty. Thinking about distressing it a little, though. I threw in that raw wood open frame for a future project of some sort.
So I know I've been going ON & ON about my amazing finds...but did I lie?!?!! ;) Best trip ever.
