There is always time for bargains

I feel like I have so much to post and yet the time to do it is eluding me. So compromise - here is a short one.

After I picked up Hailey at school we drove across town to the meat store. The meat store sells the world's best chicken breasts - I am super particular about meat and these chicken breasts are the only ones that I really like to eat. On the way to the store, we pass by three different thrift stores. After we had purchased a box of poultry deliciousness, we started driving back down the same road and I couldn't resist the tractor beam of the bargains any longer.

I should have had a clue that something was going on when we couldn't find a parking space in the whole lot - even at the back of the store. I contemplated giving up - but the lure was too strong. We waited for someone to leave and we went in.

I bought this muffin tin for one dollar. It is for a project that I am working on in my head. I found this pretty moose magazine/file holder. It will be getting a coat of paint soon and finding a home in my newly organized office. First I have to organize the office though. Priorities.

Hailey and Spencer each got a new pair of pants. Two bucks a piece for Old Navy pants. I wish Hailey's came in my size - aren't they the cutest? Spencer has a hole in the knee of every pair of pants he owns. Is this true with all boys? I swear that kid is hard on his clothes.

Two ninety nine a piece - a hoodie for Spencer with his school logo on it and sweater for Hailey that I wish I could fit into. It is a size 6, but doesn't seem that big. Plus I figure she can wear it as a longer sweater - maybe with her new jeans.

I was pretty stoked about my finds. Oh and all the cars in the lot were on account of the fact that it was senior day. When I found that out I was wishing I had my mom along to score me and even better deal!

After that little stop, I have a few more projects brewing in me and I have some sewing that I am jonesing to do. There are just not enough hours in the day! Now to get back to work on editing - I had two photo shoots over the weekend. I almost have the first one done and now need to start on the second. They were for one of my mom friends and I saw her at school this morning - she is super excited to see them and already talking about how she is spreading my name around to all of her friends. Yea! So I need to get crackin' on them and do a fabulous job.

Can't wait to see what you do with the cupcake tray and organizer, Ms. Crafty. Nice finds. I need to get myself to the thrift store here one of these days!

Super "trash to treasure" finds and cool bargains on the cute clothes. Wish I WAS with you since I love that kind of shopping.
