I <3 junk shopping!

Feb 19, 2009 at 06:10

I love junk shopping!

What is the saying, "One man's trash is another man's treasure." Today that saying is true for me.

My first score of the day is a wonderfully huge new way for me to store my fabrics.

I shall call her... The Iron Giant.



While the gunmetal gray suits her name pretty well, I think I may have to paint her. At least her hard exterior so she won't look so cold.

(Watch out Beth, I may just find the fabric you are looking for!)

My next and greatest score of the day. Some really great vintage sheets.







You are seeing correctly. They are from the Wizard of Oz! Each sheet has got these wonderful images of Dorothy, Toto, the Tin Man, the Lion, the Scarecrow, and all of the other wonderful characters. I found two flat sheets, two fitted sheets, and two pillowcases all of this for a whopping $4.99!

I am sure at many points in their life there was a little girl (or two) that loved these sheets. Now it is my turn. I have no idea what I will do with them yet, but it will have to be something great!


Oh, I love the Iron Giant! I agree you haould paint it, maybe it wont seems so cold! I can't believe your thrift score! Those sheets are amazing! As for what to do with them, just covet them for how cute they are!

Oh, I forgot to say something about the McDonalds fridge magnet! That thing is SO annoying! My son always turned it up to the loud level and just walked away!

I know. I don't know what I would do without thrift stores. It is scary though. When I find stuff like that I want to go back everyday for a week in case something else really cool shows up.
