thrift store shopping

[tard-penguin.livejournal.com]

I found some great thrift store finds that I wanted to share with you girls mostly because I didn't have any idea that thrift stores actually carried these things/priced them so intensely cheap. More than that it really brightened my day (BECAUSE ENGINEERING SCHOOL IS EVIL) and I figure it might brighten someone elses to know this stuff is out there.

1) Fabric remanents. I've seen them before but never at a goodwill. I definitely picked up four yards for a dollar. Total. All of their remanents were prices a buck.

2) Patterns. For a quarter! I've never seen patterns at a thrift store. There were about a hundred. At least half were vintage. Granted, someone's already cut them and they might not have directions but they're a quarter! And I imagine they're great for anyone that uses scraps of patterns to create new things.

(I also found an awesome tie and Super Mario Bros. and Duck Hunt for the NES. I. Heart. Today.)
