Monday

Attention...

... Fashionistas!!!
Today I dropped into our local Salvation Army Thrift Store in search of wool sweaters to felt and make "stuff" out of. It is a bit too early for a good winter selection but I did happen across a quite a lovely 100% cashmere cardigan from Lands End...


in a lovely shade of aqua...


in pretty darn good condition...


with a price tag of only $3.00!
New, they are $150.00!!!!!
My experience is, cashmere does not felt well so it does not suit my "stuff making" project but boy there sure is a little room in my closet.
Do your closet, your wallet and those in need a great favour and visit your local good works thrift store. You might want to drop a buck or two in the bucket at the cash.
I did... it only somewhat lessened the guilty pleasure I felt as I walked out the door with such a lovely treat....
Same time next week..... for wool sweaters... of course... :)

I bought a stash of old buttons at my local Red Cross Store today and also dropped an extra buck in. Lovely buttons!

There is nuthin' like the feeling you get when you walk out of a thrift store like a bandit.

I ♥ thrift stores! I've found beautiful yarns and buttons along with great things to wear.
