The kids and I went thrifting over the weekend. We haven't been in a while so it was extra fun. I picked up a few rolls of vintage wrapping paper and a couple old books. Check out the illustrations inside, they are so beautiful. I just couldn't pass them up. You can barely see them, but I found a couple old protractors as well. The kids love them. My dad had tons of them when I was little, what I wouldn't give to have all of his old architectural instruments. He got rid of them a long time ago.
These grandma pants are to die for. The inseam is 36" and they are high waisted...and fit like a glove!
This sweater was missing a button, and I didn't realize until I got it home and was sewing on a button that the buttons are in the back! That makes it even better.
Moo Moo's make me happy. Especially during the summer.
A bird batwing sweater
and an 80's dress.
And...the best part? I got it all for $5. Yup, $5.
Did you guys pick up anything good over the holiday weekend? If you did feel free to leave a link in the comments so I can check them out. I love to see other thrifters finds.
Happy thrifting,
Ugh! Get me to the states... That haul here (in Australia), in a thrift shop would have cost an absolute minimum of $70 and that would be on an awesome bargain day. SO jealous!

Love the old books with brights pictures. I too search for those from time to time. Sometimes I buy old vintage books with just words to paint in to use as an art journal. Found you from a blog hop and am now following.
ReplyDeleteThe pink and white sweater is adorable. Love it.
