Thrifting to cure the Flu

Ryan has been sick the past few days (he says it only happens once every 5 years) and so the house has been pretty quiet. I have been taking medicine as well cause I cannot afford to miss any classes since it is midterms. So far so good. On my walk home home from the train yesterday I saw him on the road and so I hitched a ride to go with him on his errands. And ofcourse he asked if we could pass by the Salvation Army on the way home. Thrifting always makes him feel better (and I always find something worth adding to my clutter). But yesterday was a beautiful day for I found these:

A grab bag filled with buttons, iron-on interfacings, bias tape and zippers:

An "Authentic" Irish Design knitting kit "right down to the wooden buttons":

Another grab bag filled with yarn (which luckily matched some of the yarns mommy got):

And I know I said I hated the look of platic for the teeny backyard, but I couldn't resist him:


And all that for less than $10.00 (even if I convert that to Philippine Pesos, that is still a bargain!). I am going to miss thrifting here...But who knows what the ukay-ukay will uncover! I thank God for all the wonderful people who donate to the Salvation Army.
