Thrift Shop Finds

We had Thanksgiving at home and then on Friday we went on up north to eat lunch with my Dad and two of my brothers and my superduper SIL.

I told the children we were going to stop off at my favorite thrift store down the street before we even left after we ate dinner. They groaned but we know what we are looking for so we don't waste time. We found a pair of new boots for my son and told my daughter there were plenty of skates there if she wanted a new pair since her feet grew which she declined. I got a little folksy Santa and an Avon small ceramic candle holder Christmas tree and a couple of trinket type dogs all for a few dollars. My husband found some scenery stuff for his trains.

Then on the way home, we stopped off at another shop we have never been to.
It was small, crowded and disorganized but the prices were so ridiculously low. I found two more polka dotted glasses for 50 cents -- which I had been looking for, a bag of doll clothing for a dollar that had two Penny Brite dresses in it! (I thought it was only one.)

My son found a box which he thought was games but it turned out to be a used complete Game Cube with three games for a reasonable amount of money. He immediately went out to the car to tell his sister, she ran into the store, they were thrilled beyond belief.
My Dad just gave them some money so they spent it all and asked for a few more dollars to complete the deal. Typically, they save their money but they wanted one of these anyways.
(They still use the PlayStation I we got at a yardsale along with the collection of yardsale games we found over time.)

I told them never to complain about going to the Thrift/Consignment shops ever again when they got a deal like that.
They spent Saturday and Sunday laughing while playing Mario Cart or Animal Crossing.
