Yesterday was a very long day with two grumpy kiddos, so today I decided that before it got too hot we would get out of the house and go for a walk. I loaded up the stroller with cool drinks for the kids and we headed to a new Thrift Store. I love to shop at thrift stores. I’m always hoping to find fabulous vintage clothing and a cool dish or two.
Today Thade spotted two nice shirts that he really liked, and I found a super cool beaded bag. You know I can’t resist a vintage purse. I also picked up a hand painted serving tray. I’ll be using it tonight as a veggie tray.
Even though we were shopping at a thrift shop the clothes were a little pricey. Kids clothes were $2.00 on up, and Women’s clothing was $7.00 and up. The kitchenware and fabric prices were just right. There was even a $.05 coffee cup sale going on. We’ll be checking back in often, and the walk wasn’t too far for Thade.
Do you have a favorite Thrift Store that you visit often, or a great Thrift Store find?
Thanks Nana! I love the “newish” purse, and I just had to pick up the serving dish. It was my bigger purchase at $4.00, but I think I’ll use it a lot. Both of the boys enjoyed the walk, and we made it home before it got too warm. Big hugs!
I love thrift store shopping. Value Village used to be my favourite but it’s getting too expensive now. I can buy brand-new stuff at the end-of-the-season cheaper than I can buy used stuff there.
I’m a sucker for purses…although as I’m getting older, I hate carrying them LOL. Great finds, Nicole!
Thanks Susan! Thats a bummer that Value Village is getting pricey. We have lots of antique shops in town, and they are pretty pricey too. It is still fun to go and look though.
I love thrift stores, too. I have quite a collection of vintage china. Whenever we travel, I check out the thrift stores. My best ever finds have been a Coach handbag – it was on the floor in a pile and I bought it for $1, and another is a Burberry handbag I bought for $10. Both are just like new. I’ve found lots of treasures thrown into the corners, under racks, and inside of things like baskets.
Thanks Mimi! Great finds!!! How I wish I could come across an awesome handbag or two 😉 I bet your vintage china is beautiful too. I love to find unique coffee cups, and tiny plates. It is fun to shop and look for treasures.
