$32 of FUN! Update.

Ok, so you know I’ve been scouting out and collecting vintage sheets. Lord help me when I start cutting them up! I found seven today, and a pillowcase.                        

I have also just recently become infatuated with the JUMBO rick rack, but so far, have not found an inexpensive source for it. Last week, I thought I had, and ordered three spools of it, but it ended up being smaller than I thought. I guess half inch means TOTAL width across (both the zig, AND the zag, not just one zig). That’s ok. I’ll use it. So now, my eyes search for any size rick rack. I found BABY rick rack today, (and even more seam bindings.) Anybody want the seam bindings?                         

I can’t believe my sweet Louie, who is always on the lookout for fabric for me, walked right past this two yard piece of cuteness!      

 I also bought a new dress for my porch bear. She will be thrilled!                  

I found the entire Second Season of Grey’s Anatomy for $6. This store charges $1 for one DVD, so since there are 6 DVD’s….$6.             

McCall’s made a cookbook??? I thought McCall’s made sewing patterns! The book was printed in 1963, and I paid $1 for it. It is filled with lots of illustrations and good sense in the writing.      

I know you won’t be able to see it, but there were a few recipes written just inside the cover, on one of the blank pages. The very first one was Chocolate Cake (Miracle Whip). Now, if you only knew how ironic THAT was! When I was just a little girl, and there were 7 of us children at home, my mom would have me make one of these cakes about every other day. It has been MANY MANY years since I have made one, so guess what I’m baking today? You guessed it!

Now, where else could I have spent $32 and had so much fun?

I hope you are having fun this weekend as well.  It looks like it’s going to be a gloomy, rainy day. I know what I SHOULD be doing, but do you know where my heart is?

                                                   I think the thrift stores open at noon.  Wonder if I can talk my sidekick into going with me, or if I should just behave. (But, but, but…it’s back to the grind tomorrow!)

Be blessed and have a great Sunday!                Michelle

UPDATE:

I behaved myself this afternoon. We stayed home, and I ripped 9 sheets into fat quarters. I got the idea on how to do it HERE. I watched two of the six discs of ‘Grey’s Anatomy’ while ripping.  I had never watched it before today, and I have been enjoying it.

What did you do today? (I didn’t make the cake like I said I was going to.)
