Thrifty Finds Friday

re is the fabric field for this week. I love those goofy blue monkeys on the upper left side. The pink dumbo one is kinda cute too. I do not really care for Disney things. I never have. And naming a poor pink elephant Dumbo? That's just mean. But I like it just for the pink elephant graphic. Anyway, I also got an old embroidery transfer pattern thing and those groovalicious old blue towels on the upper right. Yum. The big pink stuff in the middle, in case you can't tell, is a big strip of super-girly pink lace! I'm thinking some kind of dress up gear could be made. Probably not by me mind you, but……. (I didn't hand pick out all of these, some were in bags of fabric scraps so if you see one in the bag you like you gotta buy the whole thing. Sneeky little thrift store managers….)

This seashell blanket was at the store last week for $5. but I really don't like the golden sand color of the back material. This week it was still there ( I guess no one else liked it either.). It was $2. and I thought I might (BIG MIGHT) be able to sew a blue backing on it. There is a weird little pouch sewn in the back of it, for a pillow I guess. The second picture is of a funky little watermelon bowl and plate. Visions of summertime danced in my head. I got a few more things, but they're soaking in Clorox currently.
