THRIFT TREASURES.
A THREE QUILT DAY.
A VINTAGE VICTORY! This twin size quilt probably from the 1950s was my thrift treasure for the day. Since it was Senior discount day, 20% was taken off the price tag. Going from $12.oo to $9.6o made me a very happy Senior.
There were two Queen size quilts that I eyeballed thinking these would be really nice for my extra bedding stash. My camera did not pick up on the blue color as in the real this quilt is deep blue. Like a denim. The quilt itself is very heavy making a nice addition to our HOME. Reversible. When the Master Bedroom is completed, the walls will be a nice white so adding color will be the magic ticket for making the room pop with some hue. It will be by switching comforters and quilts for seasonal moods that will add some COTTAGE charm.
This is closer to the true color.
This Queen size Quilt is ivory, in great shape and 100% cotton.
The place that I shop usually has everything clean and smelling fresh. Still I will wash the blue quilt at the Laundry-mat that has super large washing machines that will hold the weight of the quilt when it is wet. The other two quilts I will leave alone, especially the twin vintage one. I don't want to ruin the twin quilt to where it falls apart during the washing. It will be more for eye candy than use.
I found a very nice leather jacket in good shape that fit me. Funny thing is, I gave away a leather jacket that did not fit well and talked to God about getting one that would fit me. Found her yesterday for a great price. $8.oo. No complaints.
With Spring coming, the weather is still somewhat chilly. This sweater will tie me over until I can reach my sweaters that are in the back of the Master Bedroom where I cannot get to since the room is full of boxes, a mattress and box springs. It'll be SPRING before I can work on this room to where I can get into the chest of drawers where my sweaters are resting. I got a great price on the sweater.
MY THRIFT DAY was a wonderful day with the weather being in the 60s. Blue skies and no Kansas wind blowing. It was a gorgeous day to be out and about. Car windows were rolled down.
We had early morning labs in TOPEKA, so we had to get up early for the drive. Off to IHOP for a $6.99 breakfast with two eggs and two pancakes. Blueberry syrup. I drank water. On the way to GOD'S STOREHOUSE, we stopped at Starbucks for a cold iced green tea. Shopped at GS and donated a large box full of donations then drove across the PRAIRIE to our little COTTAGE HOME nestled in the FlintHills.
Gathered up some things in the house to take to storage. While at the unit, we loaded up some art supplies to bring HOME for Hubby's studio. From here we drove on over to Manhattan to go to ALDI's and eat supper. Drove HOME, unloaded the Art Supplies. By this time I had put in a long day and was ready to collapse.
DAY WAS DONE and so was I. Fell asleep quickly.
I know that thrifting turns my crank. I checked my blood pressure when I got HOME and it was near perfect. Thrifting agrees with me.
Praise the LORD.
