Good Thriftin' Day

I am not a great thrifter. Maybe it's not me, just slim pickin's around here. We stopped at Good Will on Saturday and I just came away with a nice $5.00 blouse. This particular store always seems to have lots of clothes, not much in the way of nic nacs and such. So Sunday as DS and I drove home from church, the car seemed to head toward a local antique/gift/consignment shop. It's been growing the last couple of years, but I was very impressed this past weekend. The owner had new rooms downstairs plus the upstairs opened up. All sorts of venders have joined and it was well set up. I came away with some books. I was excited about the Little House on the Prairie set for $12.00
I can't wait to read God's and Generals, but I am engrossed with Maya Angelou right now.
I picked up this Victorian look photo album also. I have some older family photos that will look cute in it. I love the illustrations.



Finally, I couldn't let this purse be left behind, I liked the colors...

This week seems kinda long. I think I am a little over tired and a lot tired of the grey skies! My schedule will be a little different the next week and a half due to the students testing. I've been scheduled all over the place to help with tests and monitoring. I think this will be good though. Change like that for a little bit helps the days go by.
Oh, I almost forgot! I had started a WIP list on the side bar (WIP is work in progress, you probably all know that!) That one little item is NOT my only WIP, I need to fess up and get them listed over there! I kinda thought I'd stop buying fabric and kits until I got these projects finished. I, uh, slipped up already...

You see, a co-worker in my department is having a baby, and she's a really sweet lady; plus eons ago when I was a teenager I used to babysit her husband....ah jeezzz I just COULDN'T resist!!!
