Okay, so I am doing a little "spa day" on Monday 2/18 for some friends of mine. We're going to make and do facials, making a cleanser, mask, moisturizer, toner, etc out of fruits and veggies and natural, organic ingredients and such. I'll do a soapmaking demo and we'll make a lotion bar and lip balm.
Well...of course I was wondering what I was gonna wear and which apron. I like to wear a full apron, cause when I get creative, I get a little messy...I would love it if I had a nice white or off-white with lace or ruffle trim and I could wear it over a grey cotton knit casual dress - so I went to my favorite thrift looking for something...and I actually FOUND a grey-ish full apron with some colored stripes on it that was homemade by someone and it will work just fine for my purposes. It looks like kind of a Mexican trim, and even has a pocket. Finding it like that was...kind of a little eerie for me.
At the same time, I found a hard back copy of a book I've been looking for for some time - it just jumped off the shelf at me.
I'm wondering if I am manifesting these goodies to come my way?!?
Well, it wasn't as good as Nancy Jo's days at the thrift, but it worked for me :-) Judy

I agree completely: you just don't know when or where, but all of a sudden, why, there's a perfect bookcase! A little scuffed but perfect!

My husband and I headed to the office supply store one day because we'd decided to bite the bullet and buy a filing cabinet. Two blocks from the store, we found a filing cabinet on the curb. It's amazing how these things just happen sometimes. Trouble is you can't really count on them happening at a convenient time and place. But it's really cool when they do. |

Now if that book fell and hit you on the head, I guess you could call it fate? haha. I'm getting ready to head out thrifting. Hope to find some goodies to share. :)

Don't you just love days like that. It helps make up for all the "Dry days" that we have sometimes. There have been times I have totally hit the "motherload" and other times I have left empty handed. Funny, on the days I leave empty handed I feel almost sad or picked on! LOL!
Hugs & blessings,
Brenda

That's 'Nancy Jo's first law of thrifting', all right. If you need it, it will come. LOL!
