Totally Beachin' Thriftshare....

All of my finds for this weekend

were from a short trip down to the OBX

this past weekend.

I always love trying to get in a quick stop or two

because different stores than my usual ones are so much fun.

These are the best looking on the outside too

something about the beach makes people have to be a bit more creative

to get peoples attention...

Can't help but love Hotline Pink,

all proceeds go to a group that provides services for abused women.

Found 8 of these tiny flocked birds for .10 cents each!

Also found 3 of these small aluminum molds for again .10 cents each!

Bad thing is they wrote the price on them in red marker

and I'll have to use Brillo to get it off

and I hate to take off the patina (ha)

If you have any better suggestions let me know!

I'm actually thinking of using them to store things in upside down

like my mini letter stamps, pins,etc.

Trip #1 total $1.10

Not bad if I do say so myself!

Hotline too!

Thrift Store

Love the fish and beach scenes painted all over the outside...

Nice bag of old spools of thread

for $2.00

Children's Golden Book

I really have learned to love the illustrations in a lot of these books

I had a couple as a kid

and started picking them up for my son

before he was even born

and now like to use them for inspiration and in some of my projects

love

this page especially because

it talks about the "grown ups"

talking on the porch in the evening and the

"kids" playing in the yard

When I was a kid and we would go to my great grandmothers

farm

this was the evening ritual.

Catching fireflies

dessert while rocking

or sitting in the glider till it got too dark to see.

This little book brought back some memories.

Great find for .50 cents!

Total for trip #2

$2.50!

Head on over to

Apron Thrift Girl

to see what other Booty was found

(excuse the Pirate jargon... it's hard to stop after you've been

in Blackbeards hangout for the weekend!)

Happy Monday!
