My recent trip to the Salvation Army store was my first thrift store visit in a long time, but it might prove to be a continuing fascination for me. After I left, I couldn’t stop thinking about a stripey knit blanket I had seen there for $4.99. I didn’t buy it because we have so many blankets in our house, but I couldn’t help thinking I would like to put together a big basket of blankets for use around a campfire this summer. So, I went back. But, of course, the blanket was gone. No good woman would leave empty-handed though, right? I did a quick tour of the shop, and came away with a few little goodies, the first of which I am showing you today. Some of the ladies in my knitting club are making ponchos for their daughters. I decided not to do so, because I wasn’t sure my daughter would wear it. Of course, right after I came home from our knitting group meeting, I found my daughter wearing a poncho that my aunt had made her when she was a baby. Another moment of parenting guilt. Anyway, I quickly spotted a retro-looking poncho at the thrift store. I wasn’t sure my daughter would like it, since it wasn’t pink or purple. For $1.99, I thought I would take a chance. She spotted the poncho as soon as I walked through the door, and her face lit up. A little bit of my guilt alleviated. I have a couple more small finds I hope to show you another day. By the way, if you like the Princess Leia look, as my daughter does, do yourself a favour and get some of these bun makers. These have been a life-saver for me when preparing my daughter's hair for ballet class. The first day that my daughter wore the poncho, her bff came over for a visit. She had just come from a tea party birthday celebration and she was all dressed up. I snapped these photos while the two of them were playing (until they got tired of my picture-taking and told me to stop). They had a serious case of the giggles and I got a lot of blurry photos. Here’s where I told them to get the giggles out with their silliest possible faces (above). After that, they gave me a couple of calmer shots.
