thrifty simplicity...

i've been waiting and waiting

for this magazine to come out.

i love ki nassauer and matthew mead's work

and have been anticipating

perusing the pagesof this magazine

for months!

~~~

and here it is...

~~~

it is soooo what i'm all about~

junking, thrifting, antiquing, repurposing,

and country!

~~~

it doesn't get any better than that!

~~~

thrifting is a great way to simplify.

it's all about

recycling, reusing, and repurposing.

it's great for the planet!

and it's great for your budget!

~~~

i love thrift shops!

~~~

i'd rather shop in a thrift shop than anywhere else.

the thrill of the hunt is incredible,

to the point of intoxicating!

you never know what you mite find!

~~~

i thrifted with

my mom, 2 sisters, niece, and daughter!

it was great!

the combination of family, thrifting, and eating out

made for a fabulously fun time!

we're always looking for new thrift shops

to scour,

and we were lucky enough to find a new one,

one that we intend to visit again

and again!

~~~

here's what i got at our new-found thrift store!

~~~

i bought these 4 dessert plates for 29 cents each!

(these are my dishes.

they are all i ever use or own!

they are cream-colored with a simple scalloped edge.

i love them!)

the restaurant dish was also 29 cents!

the sponge was 49 cents!

~~~

can't beat a thrift stores for prices!

~~~

i also bought these 2 hardcover books.

i bought them for $2.99 each!
~~~

thrifting is a great way to save money,

recycle, reuse, and repurpose.

~~~

i shop the thrift shops in our little town

almost every week.

some weeks i find

lots of goodies!

other times i don't find as much...

but i always go back!

because i never know

what treasure awaits me!

~~~

and when i've found too many treasures to keep,

i box them up and

back they go to the thrift store

to be someone else's treasure!
~~~

reduce, reuse, recycle!

isn't it great?

make it a thrifty day!
