I have a thrift store, that is on my way home from preschool, that I just love. I usually stop in to look around once a week. I got some really cute things this week. I got the cutest bunny wreath, all done in pastels. It is braided material and has eggs hanging down in the middle and a bunny head at the top. I was so pleased. Also got a really pretty Easter Egg patterned table cloth. I was most pleased though with a video I got called, Learn to Be A Ballerina. The two youngest Grandaughters, Lizabeth and Laine, just love ballerinas! I also picked up several dance leotards for them as well. They should have fun with those!:angel: :angel: I got some toys for the rewards box in Lizabeth's class and some clothes for all four girls. Must have been there for two hours!:D Have you had fun at a thrift store or just gotten some good buys at one lately? Please share!

I haven't been to one in a while. I need to stop in and see what they have. I like to shop there and get baskets for .10. I clean them up and use them for gift baskets.

I went about 2 weeks ago and didn't find anything, but I sure had fun looking :)

My Grandmother used to work at a consignment shop when I was little. I used to love going there with her. Since I was little, I haven't set foot in a consignment/thrift store. Not because I don't want to, but because I just never think of it until I read your posts! The hospital has a thrift store across the street from it. I think maybe I'll try to go there this weekend. You've inspired me!

We have a couple that I try to go to every week, but I haven't found much the past couple of times I went.

I love thrift stores though and its always so much fun to look.
