Thrifting

During the winter I miss the excitement of garage sales and the hunt for good deals. But lucky for me, there are some thrift stores around that make pretty good indoor garage sales. Like all thrifting, it's hit and miss. I haven't struck gold for awhile, but yesterday yielded some pretty good finds.

I have a thing for wagons, as this makes 3 for us. But how could I pass up this cute of one with a $15 price tag?

Here's a little story behind my next find:
The other day I searched the entire town for a new pair of casual shoes and came up empty handed. I couldn't find what I was looking for. A quick search in the shoe section at DI and I found the ones I had been looking for. The best part, they were my size and looked brand new. They still had the sticker on the bottom to prove it. And at $5.00, they were priced just right for this girl.
I also found this shirt ($2) for Sissy and a little Laura Ashley corduroy dress for a buck.
I almost forgot how giddy good deals make me. I didn't even seem to mind the snow flurries.
