Last Chance Thrifting
I wanted to express my thanks to you for your kind comments yesterday. If I had your email address, I tried to email you directly. If not, "thank you." I truly appreciate your kindness and am grateful for your comments.
The first time I whispered "I'm so happy you're here. I'm so happy you're here," to Sawyer yesterday, I broke down in tears. I could barely repeat it. It became easier as the day went on.

Last Thursday I had some extra time in town while Mason was in preschool, so I decided to run into the thrift store. I didn't find a lot. A few books for the children, a teacup, a granny-square throw, and a Robin costume for the boys. I was disheartened when the linens section had been downsized to one small rack. When I questioned the cashier, she said they have a "last chance" section of the store and to check there. (Who knew???)
I didn't have time on Thursday, but after the Pinewood Derby on Saturday, I ran in while Joe sat in the car with the children. (Yay for thrifting without children!)
Here are a few of my treasures:
2 aprons: 95 cents each
2 curtain panels: 95 cents each (the yellow is a large, heavy cotton panel from Ikea, the white has a nice embroidered edge by Martha Stewart -- I'm thinking about a dress or skirt for Spenser.)
top left corner: 2 pillowcases (set), a Simply Shabby Chic cotton shower curtain
chenille blanket: 95 cents

I love the little boy chenille blanket. And I love the price. I never knew about the "last chance" section. I'm definitely going to stop there more often. Do you have a "last chance" section?
