from an awesome thrift store trip today!
I've been trying to be better at the thrift store.
I generally don't buy things just because they are a great deal--I have to truly love them or have a need for them.
Sometimes, the thrift store is a bust...
...today it wasn't!
There were shoes! GOOD shoes--not tired, granny shoes--beautiful, fun shoes! { I must be on some kind of animal print metallic kick....ha! kick! Get it?}
There were craft supplies! {a scrapbook, 3 canvases and glitter--all new and unopened!}
Two early-edition Ernest Hemingway books {with that awesome old-book smell and uneven page edges!} And a nutcracker! {we collect nutcrackers--even the sad looking ones. They look great grouped together at Christmas time--the kids have names for some of them; the one with the cold, the "get off my grass!" one, the general, the king, etc.}
A very cute bag! {Perfect for church--large with lots of pockets! p.s. it's cuter in real life than in the picture...}
And this gem...
...from the moment I laid eyes on him, I had to have it!
Do I know this guy?
No.
Do I love his kind smile and happy eyes? {even though his eyebrows are a little creepy...}
Yes!
{The kids have already named him Uncle Ed.}

It looks like you scored today! Don't you just love when you have a great trip to the thrift store!? I haven't been in a while, it's too hard to look thru stuff with my kids in tow.
