    Default I spent $30 at the thrift store this week

    I wanted a duvet for our bed. This week, I spent about $30 on bedding and got:
    • Queen-size quilt and shams for DD's bed. (Needs minor repairs)
    • Twin blanket -- wool.
    • Twin duvet.
    • Queen-size cotton duvet. Beige. For my favorite down comforter.
    • Queen-size cotton/silk duvet in sage. Washed up beautifully.


    Right now, I've put the quilt on DD's bed; and the sage duvet on our bed. The wool blanket is drying on the clothesline; the twin duvet is in the dryer; and the beige duvet is ready for me to go stuff the comforter inside.

    With all these new linens, I feel rich!

    Yes. The wool blanket for our bed was bought at Lands' End. $125 after shipping and tax.

    I'm glad I found a twin-sized one for DD.
