Thrifty Thursday!
You thought I forgot, didn't you?
How could I forget Thrifty Thursday?! This is where I show you my fabulous thrifty finds for the week. By thrifty we're talkin' garage sales and the *best* thrift stores in town.
This week I found 5 pairs of new or like new shoes for our girls ($1-3/pair). We apparently have a lot of feet in this house to cover. And, a 2-piece dress for $2, a shirt for $2 (more than usual but it was new with tags & I really liked it).
And, some kid's clothes. Old Navy pajamas ($2), Target skirt ($1), Gymboree pants ($1 each), and a Gymboree dress ($2). You too can be a tightwad like me!
And, my favorite find would be the 10 vintage books that I had to have (69 cents each).
I just love the covers, especially the one on the left with the kid and his super stack of pancakes.
I was excited to read the books with Keegan but found myself laughing hysterically half-way through the first one. Apparently in the 1960s it was all about guns:
Even the dart guns looked real. Forget the neon orange tips:
And, references to "blowing your head off" meant something innocent:
I'm surprised anyone who grew up in the 60's still has their fingers. It was also a time where kids could play with tools like hacksaws, hammers, and nails:
It's only a saw. Who needs an adult?:
I still love my books. I'm still reading them with Keegan. There go my mother-of-the-year nominations.... again.
Be on the lookout for next week's books where Timmy smokes cigarettes and plays with matches!
