Thrifted for $23.15

I went to a pay-by-the-pound Goodwill and got a lot of stuff. I got quite a few clothing items. First up is a wool black and white Ann Taylor dress.

It’s perhaps a little big in the top, but I can wear a blouse underneath or a sweater on over it and I think it looks pretty cute.

I got this blue and gray lightweight dress. It has buttons down the back and an elastic waistband. It’s a little large in the bodice for me, but I liked the fabric quite a bit. I’m guessing it’s from the 1980s.

Next up is a really warm 100% wool sweater. I’m not really a fan of wearing the color beige, but I couldn’t resist this Olympus school sweater (that must have belonged to Becky in 1973). It’s in pretty good condition, although there were two small holes that needed mending.

I also got this Ninkasi Brewing T-shirt to wear at home (it’s pretty comfortable).

I got a lot of this red with gray leaf fabric—yards and yards of it.

I bought this little ironing board for ironing sleeves.

And I got this Le Creuset cast iron skillet (that needs to be cleaned).

Thrifted for $9

I bought this simple white Noritake mug.

My favorite part is the bottom that has the logo and information—I love the type. 

I got this set of four Stegorcraft spoons that I thought were really cute.

I also got this ¼ teaspoon—I looked for other sizes, but only found this one. I liked the long handle.

Then I got two 2 quart Cuisinart pots for $3 each.

I was going through the items in my basket to make sure I wanted everything before checking out, when I decided to return one item. Instead of being lazy and just sticking the item in the wrong place, I went across the store to return it to its correct location. As I was making my way towards the checkout area, I noticed something on the ground—a wood inbox tray. I picked it up and knew I wanted it. I immediately thought I could take it to work and replace the black plastic inbox tray (that my workplace provided me) with this awesome wood and metal inbox. I happily spent $2 for it (it was my favorite purchase of the day).

Everyone seemed to notice my new inbox at work (I suppose it’s pretty hard to miss—its two tiers makes it fairly tall). I really love it. It’s something that’s always in my sightline, and I find it much prettier to look at then my old inbox.
