NWT Haul Part One

I lucked out by landing not one but two bundles of clothes that came new wth tags from ShopGoodwill.com; I won both for the minimum bid, and since they came from the same source they shipped together, saving me half on that cost. Let's see how I did.

Pretty sweater from the GAP; retailed for $54.95. Golly, sweaters are expensive these days.

This designer jacket was the most expensive piece at $90.00. It's also dry clean only, which makes it impractical for me, so I'm going to donate it to our local Goodwill.

I used to buy a lot of INC clothes back in the day, so I was very happy to get this floral pull over. It retailed for $69.50.

This dress from Francescas sold for $27.60. That does it for the first bunch, stop by tomorrow for the rest plus what I paid for everything.

Stuff

After finding this Caron one pound skein of lovely peach yarn in my thrifted lot I raided my stash for two cakes of Mandala in Pegasus, which matches it perfectly. For practice and hand therapy I'm going to make another Worth Street Afghan with this free pattern , but this time I'll use the yarn that was recommended for it plus the one pound skein. I'm not quite ready to do the vintage/recycled linen quilt I had planned (still a bit too nervous about the idea), so I'm going to use some color therapy and make a quilt from these thrifted green fat quarters. I considered doing another Yellow Brick road patchwork pattern, but I might go with a split rail fence like this one.

Better than Fried

I cut some chives from the kitchen garden to make garlic-chive baked fries for dinner. This is a great side dish for veggie burgers. Click here for the recipe from Taste of Home.com.

The Mercantile

If you don't mind walking 33K square feet in retail space, The Mercantile may be the vintage/arts store you'd enjoy visiting if you're ever in Orlando. I certainly did. Because it was busy I didn't take any photos in the store, but it's absolutely amazing and chock full of antiques and artisan creations, most of which were pretty reasonably priced. For $21.00 I invested in a picture of sailboats for the guest bathroom I'm redoing, and a fairy mystery jar of cool stuff. The jaw was hand-painted and decorated, and utterly charming. I think I wanted the jar more than the contents. As you can see the contents were both generous and pretty cool, too. I finally have some vintage gloves to use for my art quilter bingo challenge!
