Latest Thrifts

I'm mostly posting about my thrifts over on the crochet blog, but since I've been having a lot of good luck with thrifting at the online auction lately I thought I'd do a post here. My old walking Sketchers are starting to wear thin at the soles, so I found this pair of Women's Sketchers D'Lites Fresh Start.

This small lot of yarn included multiples in three colors, which I'm always on the lookout for these days. The fun thing is that almost all the yarn is in colors I need for one of my bucket list crochet projects.

I regularly search for miniature kits as gifts for a family member who loves them, and this one was an open box but contained everything needed to make the little house.

Stop by tomorrow to see what everything is worth, and how much I saved by thrifting them.

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!

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.
