Very Good Will Hunting.....

What fun we had today!!

....well at least McCauley and I, cousin Seth and 

the boys didn't enjoy our 

GoodWill Clearance Center outing much.

(They are kill joys if you ask me).

I could dig for hours, 

it is a total treasure hunt.

I am absolutely positive there are hidden gems

among those bins and piles of clothing....

it is my challenge to find them!

I have no problem touching used clothing or items 

of any kind.  

The boys beat it out of there pretty quickly....

apparently they are too good for gently used articles of clothing,

books, or movies.

They would much prefer sweating their brains out in the 

van waiting for M and I to have our fun.

They do not realize the thrill behind the hunt.

Unfortunately neither does Tina. 

Her boys sure got it though, they found some fun items as well.

Just picture Tina walking around with her arms 

folded across her chest.

(she actually did get a few books)

 Here are a few of McCauley and I's 

FAVORITE finds!!

Look at this sleeve sweater!

That is all it is is sleeves!  

I love it so much and want dozens more.

YES!! I found this for about .50 cents.

Believe it!

I dug these killer Limited Too jeans out for 

McCauley, THEY ARE A PERFECT FIT!!

Say what??

The one bummer is that there is not a place to try on 

anything in the clearance center.

So it is a huge gamble....

but one I am dang sure going to take.

(It did stop me from purchasing an amazing wedding

gown though.  

It was all frilly, and lace, 3/4 pouf sleeves, with a pretty sweet train.  

It was in excellent condition.

I pictured using it for a zombie halloween

costume or something this year!  

Wouldn't that have been awesome?

Frankenstein's Bride!

I was a little nervous about it possibly being too small.

I put it back.

 Thinking of finding a place to store it was

also a deterrent).

Anyway, these pants are perfect for school next year.  

McCauley is always wanting to purchase

- something - 

from that "fashionable" Limited Too 

young girl store in the mall.

she is just dying to make a purchase....

if you know me you would know that it would

be a huge stretch for me to spend $25 or more on a little

pair of girl jeans.....

but now look....a perfect pair for a meer .50

I was so stoked to show her the labels, 

tell her where they came from.

This little dress, the shirts....

We purchased 10 items for $5......they charge you .99 cents a pound.

McCauley also purchased a pair of pink shoes from the 

regular Goodwill store for $3.99....which I felt was 

a little high....but she was using her own money,

so her choice.  They are pretty cute.

Here is one of my fresh clean sweaters (Kate & Ashley),

laid out to dry.

Tina practically lost her mind when she found out I only 

ironed M's new dress so she could wear it to 

the baptism we had tonight.

I was like, what is the big deal??  Any germs would 

have been sanitized by the hot scalding steam from the iron!!

Plus, it didn't smell at all.

Is that really such a big deal??

What is your favorite thrift store find?

You know you have one!
Oh yes....I wanted to give a shout out to Nikki who is the 
the thrift store treasure finding Guru!
Every time I see her, I am always loving the 
adorable outfits she pulls together...
9 times out of 10 she purchased it at 
one thrift store or another.
Great inspiration!
Thanks!
