I recently came home with about five new-to-me t-shirts when summer clothes went on sale and last winter, I got some seriously expensive boots for $7. I still haven't gotten over that one. I also just got an extremely neon sheet that I made into a t-shirt. Soon to be blogged! It just makes me feel like the '90's are back. ;)Lisahttp://patternandbranch.wordpress.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2464662522153586853.post-57706259638501521652015-08-13T10:33:51.906+01:002015-08-13T10:33:51.906+01:00Great haul!

It's got wide stripes in different colours, and is made with sparkly yarn. It was a whole £1!<br /><br />I have managed to find myself a couple of things too, including a sweet Phase Eight top perfect for work which was a snip at £3 or £4...<br /><br />For any Edinburgh folks - I find the Salvation Army store at Tollcross pretty good for kids things...Knitlasshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10694849211711608460noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2464662522153586853.post-73831299267434099662015-08-02T16:19:03.048+01:002015-08-02T16:19:03.048+01:00I think I meant happy thrifting and lost my train ...I think I meant happy thrifting and lost my train of thought halfway through typing.

NOTHING!<br /><br />First time ever. I had really wanted an extra large and long mens flannel that I could refashion into a shirt dress for this fall, but nothing struck my fancy. The fabric was too expensive or not special enough. So I simply walked away! I don't think I've ever done that. Usually I make sure I leave with at least a couple of pillow cases to turn into aprons, but not this time. <br /><br />Everytime I buy something new I feel guilty and there is a little bit of a sadness that I didn't hunt for it. We have a local chain of thrift stores that puts 1/2 off your whole purchase coupons in the paper every month or three and I keep missing the dates. I have it stashed in my purse right now and I'm just waiting for a chance to pull it out. I keep telling myself not to buy anything else, but it never works. <br /><br />I'm not even making much sense at this point, just gushing about happy sewing.

I havent posted my finds for ages but recently found a bright red satchel for my eight year old to use as her school bag and a wooden cantilevered sewing box for my sewing.

Any old crap there is "antique" or "vintage". I wasn't in any charity shops this week but I bought a greek orthodox style icon picture in an ornate gold frame and a burgundy/gold plate with a creepy ginger cat face in the middle for the princely sum of £4 from our local junk shops. Always on the lookout for kitsch rubbish. I have got some great vintage (Heal's??) curtains there for the fabric and they were only £1 each. They were manky and smelt a bit odd but a good wash and they were fine.

I recently got a Gap plaid shirt 18-24months & a lovely jersey dress for myself for under £4 in a charity shop in North Berwick - definitely cheaper up north!
