Thrifting


This week I got 5 Bingo cards for $1
at a St Fair


I got the following items
for a total cost of $10
the biscotti jar was 3.50
and you'll see the chair price in a min
so everything else all together
was 3.50





I found the sizing 
on the back of the pattern
 interesting



Size 12
Bust 30 in
waist 25
hips 33

I forgot the bowl






This chair was









I plan to shabby chic it
which will come to a huge surprise
to everyone who
knows me
however the chair
is going in my office/craft room

I got the thrift store finds
at 
Goodwill Outlet
I posted abt it
at the bottom of the
page here

  12. Ohhh great bargains. That chair is awesome. Very pretty bowl and LOVE those bingo cards. About that pattern...I think all those women must have bound themselves to have waists like that. Or could be the girdles that everyone wore!

  18. You had a very successful day when you found all these goodies. I enjoy bingo, and I really like the old fashion way of playing with cards. It's not done that way anymore - computers.
