How is it,,, and am I the only one who can go to the local Thrift to drop off stuff only to come home with more stuff??
How does that happen???
Todays find...
2 aprons,,,
the 1st one is crochet in red and white...
I wish I were such a talented crocheter...
wish I new the story behind this apron,,, I luv that it is well below the knee in length and had a cute bib with straps that criss-cross and button to the backside of the waist...
I paid $3.50 for the crochet apron and $4.50 for the quilted one...
Yep,,, I need to go drop more stuff off at the thrift so I can find more stuff! lol!

Wow, Grace! 2 great finds! Look at all that work in the crochet one. Definitely a party apron. The quilted one would be fun to wear. Probably down to the ankles on a short gal.  like me.
You are not alone. I have to take some out before bringing more in.

WOW! Super finds, Grace. I have 2 of the crocheted half aprons similar to that. I love them. And the bib apron is nice, too.

LOL! No, you're not alone, Grace. I'm only allowed to go to the thrift store to drop off things if I promise to stay in the car and not even l@@k through the doors! LOL! Lovely finds - congratulations! Hugs - Nini

Grace those aprons are too cute!! I never seem to find good stuff at thrift stores down here. Never. It is frustrating to me when many find so many treasures. I think I just don't have any luck with this hunt and find. Or maybe this area just doesn't have people bringing it to thrift shops? Anyway, it would have been a big loss not to take advantage of these great finds. They are going to work perfectly for glamping use!!

You are not alone Grace. I am with you and Nini. I love going to second hand shops. I rarely come home empty handed even when I drop things off.

Grace...I never go in when I drop stuff off. But I more than make up for it in the long run...when I go back other days.
I really like the crocheted Apron. I have never seen one before. It doesn't look like it would be too useful as an honest
to goodness, utilitarian Apron. LOL Some one said it looked like a Party Apron and I think they maybe right.
Hugs and Smiles,
Peggy

What a great find Grace. I never find aprons that cheap around here! And the ones around here aren't nearly as nice as the ones you found.

Great finds, Grace! I hope to crochet an apron like that some day. I need a little bit more practice.

I thought that was the reason to take stuff to the junk shops was to find stuff that you can't live without.

Grace,
LOVE your finds, especially the red and white one! No, you are not alone. Happens to me and my bff all the time. We egg each other on, too. I come home with more than I drop off. It's a virus, I think, lol!
Farmgirl Hugs,

Great finds. I'm amazed that whoever made them could give them away. They are beautiful! Enjoy your lucky finds.
