Thrifty finds

There's a great little thrift store near us that Riley and I go into nearly every month. Sometimes we go to donate, as it requires constant 'weeding' of toys and clothing to stay up-to-date and uncluttered with a small person (and grown up people too) but sometimes we go to shop.

This store is run by retirees and is the coziest, most friendly thrift store I've found here. And for some reason they stay stocked with absolutely fabulous books! Top quality, current title books as well as great old Weekly Reader books for kids. The book section is neat, well ordered and even labeled with the different categories. Dreamy!

We hit the jackpot on our last trip, finding three Playmobil super sets and a bin full of nifty stamps and stamp pads all for a grand total of $4.25!

A farm set, a knight set, including fearsome dragon, and a castle set! Very cool!
For some reason this picture insists on remaining sideways. :-/



Lots of stamps! Christmas, Winnie the Pooh, bugs and other cool themes. Also many different washable colored and metallic ink pads. I see cards and custom wrapping paper in our future. :-)
