some thriftery

i’m pretty excited about a number of recent thrift store/consignment sale finds. bear with me. or is it bare?
whatever.

i scored this bumblebee (minus a hand) at a consignment sale for $2. ike was thrilled. it makes noises and sings the transformers theme song. i knew the missing hand wouldn’t be an issue since most of his toys are missing appendages. he even plays (quite often) with a wall-e with no head.

i couldn’t pass up on these cute socks for sarahpowers’ baby boy due in january. i always wanted them for isaac when he was a baby, but never managed to bring myself to spring for them. the consignment sale price was much friendlier.

this was a no brainer. pottery barn kids already monogrammed for the girl. i’m not crazy about the design, but the $3 price ta was helpful.

i am the most excited about these chairs. they were $5 each. i think i will paint them, but i’m not sure of the colors yet. isaac wants purple. anna doesn’t care.

on saturday, i went to the consignment sale at lewisville umc. i’ll never go again. never. the yuppie soccer moms are crazy. it’s too crowded. people are jerks. and i can’t take it. had it not been for finding these next two pairs of pj’s for the boy, i would have probably stormed out in a furious rage.

buzz… (on a not very cooperative boy).

woody… (on a much happier boy).

scored these cleats and shin guards at good will. $2.50 for each pair of cleats (i wasn’t sure what size to get). $1 for the shin guards, although i found a much nicer pair at a different sale for $3.

anyhow, sorry for the super boring post. i was just pretty excited.
there’s a lot more, so be thankful that i didn’t post everything. like the pack of socks i got for anna. 🙂
