![](http://www.maryjanesfarm.org/Snitz/Images/2020/10/20201011_092215(1).jpg?v 18460685) This is my $3 dress. It was on a rack of clothing outside a "girly stuff" store, and I figured even though it was a size 10 and I wasn't sure it'd fit i couldn't go wrong. I also got a paisley print t shirt.

Found some Currier and Ives dishes at an estate sale last weekend. Finding bits and pieces to add to my collection.

Free, free, free, free, free!
![](http://www.maryjanesfarm.org/Snitz/Images/2021/04/20210402_163312.jpg?v 73870873) I love the turquoise beaded dress. It's a size 8 which will keep me motivated to stay healthy. The shirts and skirt are perfect for spring.
![](http://www.maryjanesfarm.org/Snitz/Images/2021/04/20210402_163328.jpg?v 92227089) The white lace jacket will be worn over my Easter dress, the orange jacket is merino wool(!) and the green sweater has some wool in it. I also forgot a purple plaid shirt, but it fits. All these were picked up at a clothes closet in Brooksville run by a church. The lady there said she was giving away some of the winter clothes so she'd have room for spring clothing.

I found a little Haviland Limoges dish at a garage sale for $1.00! I was so excited! I will use it at a ring dish or for my cute little paperclips at my desk, Perhaps I'll rotate it back and forth! I love limoges dishes, I find them so feminine and beautiful - I have a few serving dishes I've been collecting for special occasions and am always watching!

How did you find the free clothes? There are a lot of thrift shops around upstate sc and I really need to explore them. I would love to find some jade glass bowls.

Tara, I was just in our local shop at the right time. The lady in charge was clearing out winter stuff for the warmer weather. I still got some use of the sweaters before I packed them away for summer.

Oh, sit right back and you'll hear a tale, a tale of a shopping trip that had no husband tagging on to try and make me quit. The shop was Another Man's Treasure, a charitable boutique. I drove up there in the chilly air, warm blouses for to seek.
Enough Gilligan's Island intro- you can fill a large paper bag for $10.60. I tightly rolled all my finds so I could get more in the bag. In all, I got 17 tops (one didn't get in the picture). The gray cashmere sweater was shrunk, I thought I could still wear it, but it was too tight. The dark blue Oxford shirt is too tight across the bust. All in all, less than a dollar a shirt!![](http://www.maryjanesfarm.org/Snitz/Images/2021/11/20211110_183523.jpg?v 92047858)

![](http://www.maryjanesfarm.org/Snitz/Images/2022/07/20220730_124237.jpg?v 62430020) I went to a few yard sales this weekend and found an old suitcase in pretty good condition. I also got the cute stool for $3. It needs a rung under the seat and a fresh coat of paint.
![](http://www.maryjanesfarm.org/Snitz/Images/2022/07/20220731_083402(1).jpg?v 12329145) I also got a $5 bag if assorted jewelry. It has Avon rings, earrings, pins, necklaces, and unknown thingies.
