Thrift Trip

I needed to thrift some yarn to go with my new skein of art yarn, so we headed over to our local Goodwill to hunt for some. I ended up with yarn, a cookbook and some holiday napkins.

You can't beat a Christmas-themed cookbook for $1.99. This one runs about $15.00 new, so that was a nice deal. It should give me some ideas for holiday cooking, which is always a challenge.

I got this bundle of four large snowflake cotton napkins in mint condition for $4.99. Similar napkin sets in the same size sell at Target for $34.00.

I'm going to use these like furoshiki and wrap up some gifts with them. Recyclable wrapping is always a good idea.

This is the bundle of yarn I picked up for $5.99, which was a steal.

The orange-red yarn was my primary objective, but I can use the three skeins of chenille yarn to make slippers and hats (and these run $5.99 each new.) Not sure what I can do with black tulle, but we'll see.
