One of my favorite things to do is take the boys thrifting and "bopping around" as Scout calls it. We visit St. Vincent de Paul, Thrift town, Thrift Land, Goodwill, and sometimes the shops on Burnet Rd. though Bubbie likes to say they have a lot of "old lady stuff".
This week we scored these items:
4 VHS movies, a scary novel, a nice sized canning jar, a coffee mug, a terra cotta pot, and an ecru lace-edged table cloth. Total spent: $6.47.
Not a huge haul for two hours of shopping, but it was fun, and we discovered another cute little restaurant to eat lunch at - Tacquerias Arandas. Al Carbon tostadas, and beef quesadillas......so delish. No soda, boys. I'm weaning you off Dr. Pepper.
They've gotten used to me taking photos everywhere we go...they can get used to iced water, too!

Thanks Gina for joining in on the party! Cute that the boys go with you, and actually let you take pictures. Could you please be ever so kind to add my link so that people know you are joining in on the party!!~ Thanks for participating I sure appreciate it.
That's right...teach those boys to thrift :) It really is a learning experience though because you see so many things that just aren't around anymore.
I have really become addicted to Thrift Stores!! You found some great things and I think it is great that you are teaching your boys to reuse!!

Thrift stores are my favorite! I find so many fabulous things :)
My favorite place to look for books...a weakness.
Great job on your thrift store finds!! I'm going to start carrying my camera with me!!
Great finds. I love the vintage tablecloth. It's great that your boys enjoy thrifting. It can be yet another way to spend quality time with them!

Nice items you found! The boys are cute! You have a busy job keeping all of them where they need to go in clean clothes alone!!!
You found some nifty things, Gina. I love the tablecloth. Table linens are one of my weaknesses.
Thank you for stopping by my blog and leaving a comment. I am now following yours and look forward to reading more!
All the best,

You sure got a lot of loot for little dough.
