Thank God it's thrifty Friday, Friends! Do you stop at thrift stores when you are on vacation? Fortunately, my kids share my fondness for bargain shopping so I came home with quite a haul after thrifting with my daughters in Colorado. Come see what I found
The first stop was in Johnstown with Youngest Daughter--the kind of place I love to browse!
Although most of the treasures weren't practical for traveling, I brought home a few bargains including this lovely faux lavender heart wreath...
...and this pretty vintage tea towel. Can you believe it was only $1? Also, I learned it originally belonged to the shop owner's 97-year-old mother. Don't you love knowing the history of thrifted treasures?
By far, our biggest hauls were at ARC thrift store in Loveland, including this Pyrex blue tint manufactured in the eighties. (I already own several pieces and love it.)
The Pyrex and this cute pillow cover were both 50% off so they were each $1.50.
Now for the clothes I found there--I was thrilled because I am short and petite and rarely find clothes that I like/fit. I found brands like American Eagle, Ann Taylor, Old Navy, and Lands' End, plus almost everything I bought was 50% off, including 2 dresses...
...and 4 cardigans--all $4 each! Did you notice I could pair any of the cardigans with the navy dress?! By the way, the photo above doesn't really do justice to the ruffled wrap dress that is so cute when paired with a camisole.
I also found this soft night shirt for 50% off and overalls for gardening, which had been on my list for ages. I was happy to pay full price ($7.99 ) for them...
At the Goodwill near Dear Firstborn's house, I scored this beaded hoop for $1...so many possibilities!
Last but not least, I scored this pretty fall leaf garland at the Restore, also with Dear Firstborn for .50--see how I used it here!
Until next time, happy hunting!
Great haul, Cecilia! I liked shopping the thrift stores when we'd go to FL- they're the best!
