This was the first item I saw when I entered this store. It is in a horrible part of town. I was very pleasantly surprised when I went in. Isn't this so nice and preppy. Imagine a cardigan tied around your neck. Add a monogrammed scrabble tile necklace. Some preppy flip flops.
A set of really cute napkins. The Kohls wrapper was still on them. They were $.50!
A sheet for $1. It has a ruffle edge. Can you see a cute apron? I wouldn't even have to add a ruffle to the bottom. So cute! I could add an orange pocket.
More sheets and fabric for $1 each.
This store had boxes of old patterns. I picked out a few that I would really like to sew some items from. I wanted to frame the covers for my sewing nook, but the price tags won't come off without taking up the print on the pattern. Suggestions?
A Shabby Chic green striped shower curtain. I want it for the fabric, but it is in perfect condition. I about fell out when I moved a piece of fabric and saw the orange leaf of the other fabric. I quickly grabbed it and saw the birdies on it!!!! It was a jackpot piece. Can you not see a little girls twirly skirt made out of it? All the items in the next three photos I got for $3. You get what you can put in the shopping basket for $3. I also bought a black shirt that I used to make a pirate vest. It was the reason for purchasing, so I looked around for anything that I could use the fabric for sewing to add to the basket.

Wow! You sure did hit the fabric jackpot! I love the red flowery/bird fabric! Too cute!
The green dress is adorable! Love all the fabric; I look for items that can be cut up and used just for the fabric too.
Maybe try steaming the price stickers off?
Thanks for joining TST!
To remove stickers, try a product called Sticker Lifter. It's kind of like Goo Gone, but acutally lifts stickers off without any residue.
Those sweaters reminded me of something I saw yesterday. You might be interested. Go here and look.

Such fun stuff. I love the orange and white bird fabric too. The dress and jacket are wonderful.
Love it when I have a fantastic thrifting experience.
that jacket will be really nice with a little work, love the napkins too!
Great finds!! Wish they could bottle the joy of a good thrift store find!!
