The husband and I went thrifting today. It's not quite as much fun as thrifting with Ani but......LOOK what I found! I needed a new storage piece for my craft room since cardboard boxes were taking over and the plastic drawers were screwing with my creative powers. Mass produced plastic items are my kryptonite ;) I try very hard to avoid them but, sadly it's not always possible, especially now that my boys want the toys that everyone else has instead of homemade toys. Anywho.....back to the finds. I'd been eyeing this cupboard at my local Goodwill for several weeks but, it was priced at $60. A bit much for me to justify with the husband laid off again. However when we went today it was half off, and I got a 10% off coupon for making a donation so, SCORE! I can fit so much into this baby I might get to increase my stash!
Then we went to a resale shop. It's not my favorite one. Shopping in it is very much like shopping in someones garage, not much organization and you never know what you might find. Today though, my angels knew I needed something special. I found this awesome old typewriter for $10. The paper spool thingie is stuck all the way over but, husband thinks he can fix it. Even if he can't this thing is so cool, I just had to have it. Yipee for a good thrifting day!
Yesterday I made myself an inspiration board. I really like the fabric, it has little umbrellas or parasols all over it. I covered a piece of cardboard with the fabric and then stapled it into an old frame. Pretty and recycled....does it get any better?!?!
