More thrifty fun stuff!
My daughter found a pair of brand new ( tags still attached) Route 66 tennis shoes at the thrift store for $4.00. That is more than I like to spend but since she is babysitting and earning her own cash it is up to her. She saved nine dollars.
I found a 1918 book in the "free" box at our local homeschool book store. The Winds of Chance by Rex Beach. You can read about him here. http://www.online-literature.com/rex-beach/ You may reconize him as the author of The Golden Hourd.
The book itself is in bad condition and not worth much. ( about $4.50) New versions of the book sell for 90.00 and up. The book has some cool signitures from previous owners. I looked up one of them and found them to be a long standing family in our community. We love old books so this find was awesome.
I love hearing about all your treasures you all find. GOOD JOB ! Sometimes I get very discouraged with the second chance stores around here. It doesn't help that I have a hard time getting into town so I can frequent them to find the treasures.
ReplyDeleteWhat wonderful finds!! Don't you just love book finds - even if they're not in the best of shape? I do too!!
ReplyDeleteWould love to see some photos of these dresses and shoes we keep hearing/reading so much about... :)
Have a great rest-of-week!

I found a bunch of stuff at the thrift store this weekend too. I bought a like new Tommy Hilfiger bag for $4.99.
ReplyDeletePlus, I found some educational games for the kids for only 39 cents each. I wish we had some good thrift stores around my area.
I have to make the occassional trip to Birmingham to find my deals.
Hugs,
