Thrift store finds

Isn't this cute? No not the cranky calico, although she is adorable! I'm taking about the sheet. I picked it up at good will a few days ago. It had a pink tag on $1.29 pink tag day.


Close up shot:

I grabbed it from the sheet section. Dh threw it in the washer for me. Yesterday I went to fold the dry, clean 'sheet' only to find that it is in fact a tab top curtain panel! Whoops! I already have blue (tab top no less) curtains in the nursery, they were the curtains from my bedroom in college. I'm considering putting this one up between the two blues. They are not the same color but I think it might work anyways.

We picked up a lot of good stuff there, including 2 soft pink tagged shirts one for me and dh. He bought a new feeling fleece that he LOVES for $5.99. The dogs got a 'new' football for $2.99. We only buy them cheap toys, they are toy killers! I love shopping the thrift store its such an adventure. Sure you may not find the black pants that you need, but you might find a really great sweater or a new kitchen gadget.
