Thrifty

It makes no difference that I get a real paycheck now....
 
I still love going to the Goodwill store!
 
 
These boots were about $7. It was obvious that the soles had never touched the floor, brand new!
 
Think I should wear them with shorts to Walmart??
 
 
 
You know I like to cook. I could not resist buying this and looking like a professional chef in my own kitchen. $6

 
 
Nice Rosetti purse...$6. The outside pocket has pockets for credit cards, etc. and a zipper pouch inside for cash and change. All the purses I've bought in the last few years have this feature. I don't own a separate wallet anymore
I found a business card in the inside pocket. Turns out this purse belonged to a friend I used to work with. I contacted her on FaceBook and when I asked about it, she said she had donated a red purse to Goodwill recently.

 
 
I hope you have happy shopping trips, too!

Crafty - Old Trophy Wine Bottle Corks

I found this picture on Pinterest...
 
I was inspired.
 
 
 
I knew I had seen old trophies on occasional during my thrift store excursions.

 
I found these on separate trips for $1 or $2 each, maybe. I think the two on the left came from trophies for a literary or debate competition of some kind. Cleary, the one on the far right is a swimmer...

 
 
Or is she 'mooning' us??!!
