I visited a new thrift shop while visiting my parents over the holidays. It was probably the nicest thrift shop I've ever been in. My Mom volunteers there every week. I don't mind getting dirty and grungy while thrifting but clean and neat is aways a plus. This particular store is called Renew and is in Ft Wayne, Indiana. It is sponsored by a church and run by volunteers. The people that were working were so friendly, helpful and interested in all the projects we were planning. All of the proceeds go to their school. I never mind paying a little more when the money goes to a great cause. I'll keep you posted on what I come up for all my finds.
 |
| Cookie mold from the brown bag co. Not sure what I'll do with them but I got some paper clay and regular clay to experiment with. |
 |
| Kitty mold |
 |
| Heart mold, Valentines day is coming up. Maybe I'll make a paper pulp mold and attach it to card stock for a Valentine card or add to a wreath. |
 |
| Beautiful gold leaf box. $1.50 |
 |
| Tall aqua glass bottle. Will look great when I put out the spring and summer decorations. |
I also got a 100% wool sweater that Mom and I felted and are making into doggy sweaters. I'll show you the finished product later.
When there are no rummage sales to be found look for thrift shops. They might not be the best prices but if it's going for a good cause it's a win-win.
