I gave myself $10 this week to go garage saling/thrifting. It ended up being very satisfying. I didn't even spend the whole $10.
A phalanx of Strawberry Shortcake pets! Actually, I only found the turtle at a garage sale - 25 cents - but it made me really happy to put him with the rest of the pets I have. I don't know his name. I love turtles, though. LOVE THEM.
A bag of matchbooks for $1. I love vintage matchbooks, because I actually use them (candleaholic) and because they, along with postcards, are one of my favorite ways to enter into the not-so-distant past.
Here are some favorites. Along with a random I Like Ike button. :)
Um, I didn't buy these. Grandma Hamm presented them to me when I saw her yesterday. Super-awesome, huh? The big rhinestone one on the bottom right is my favorite. It's huge. Not normally my style, but I will make it work.
:) Yay not-shopping-as-much. Makes these kinds of finds that much more fun. :)
