This week in thrifting...

So I didn't find too much, but I did find some more records. I think I have an unhealthy addiction to records or something. I mean I don't buy all the Ray Coniff records I see or Polka Parties, if I did I would need more shelves! I do though buy some of my favorites like blues, jazz, and motown. I'm just glad records don't cost a whole lot. I do have a problem with Goodwills prices, they are a toe over to high. I bouhgt 6 records for almost $7.00. While I went to the other local thrift store I got 12 records for $2.50. I mean come on it is not like there is a high demand for records. It is cheap in general but this happens everytime I go to Goodwill I spend like $50.00 on just 5 or 6 items in the store. It doesn't even make up for the stamp card they give me. Anyway! Here are pics of the things I picked up.

Craft Project

So I had an old Samsonite suitcase I bought for $2.00. The lining was a little dirty from water stains. I had and dress that didn't fit me anymore so I took some...

Pick Up Some Books

I picked up a lot more stuff I have yet to post. Its just I do not get to it. Here are just a little bit of the books I scanned so far.







I found this Vogue Sewing Book from the 70's. I am not really too much into the 70's but I really liked some of the pics tures in it...

Sorry About Not Posting Much

Hello, Hello! I know I haven't been on in a while, but I will get to the blog! I promise! I have just been busy writing a novel and I got a new piercing. :P Anyway just hang tight!!!! 

New Dresser

I noticed this dresser and the price was great so I got it. I hated dragging it up to my third floor condo. However, through the sweat and bitching it made it and it looks good. Also an old BINGO card popped out! So I guess that was the dressers consilation prize for carrying it up flights of stairs in Florida...
