THURSDAY'S THRIFT.....thinking Fall already

Hello darling followers and newer followers?  On Thursday's Thrift I like to showcase my thrift finds to encourage you and others to shop the second hand places and stop shopping the mannequin at the mall.  We all love new clothing and other items but if you shop thrift, you have the advantage of finding one of a kind, vintage,  and new with tags items at much lower prices.   I do love a good jaunt at Marshall's and TJ Maxx occasionally but even their prices are a bit too high at times.  I could not help but think about Fall shopping today.  I am beginning to find pieces that I can wear now and also transition in to Fall.  The September issues will be out soon and I need to quit shopping for summer.  Fall is on my agenda from now on.  Check out these flats by Henry Ferrara, New York/ $7.99.  They have never been worn!  Perfect for cooler weather and they go with so many things in my closet..I actually walked around goodwill with them on to make sure they felt good.  They know me by name there so they trusted that I wasn't doing the old shoe switcheroo...walk in with yours on and walk out with new shoes having left your old ones on the rack. 

Striped shirts are a must especially if they are $2.99....Preswick & Moore.

This knotted cinch belt was $1.50...I got this at the church thrift store...they also know me by name there and sometimes put things aside for me....I am favored and fortunate.

This new with tags skirt was $2.00 and I envisioned myself wearing it with so many different colors come late September when I dig out my J. Crew mustard yellow sweater and other favorites.

This structured vest is great for layering when unbuttoned.  I can wear this now over a  sleeveless  maxi dress. I saw this similar style in a  recent magazine and had to have it/Gap $3.99.

Ok, this little bunch of do dads are necessary for my Halloween haunted houses that I am preparing to do this season...if you would like to see one,  just click here

These very old and delicate doll clothes were in a bag for $3.00 at the church thrift.  Look at the tiny socks with carrots...ok?  My niece may be getting some of these.

This shirt is made of a gauzy like, super delicate material and seems to be the oldest item. 

The good samaritan and what she wore to thrifting today...read on!

Thanks for dropping in and viewing my finds.   I felt like a good person today when I paid for the lady's stuff in front of me who dropped her $20. bucks on the floor.  The manager played back the camera recording to see if the lady in front of her, in line, took the $20 when she dropped it unknowingly.  They actually have cameras in Goodwill now.  The tape showed the woman picking up the $20 off the floor and heading for the door.  The woman's whose stuff I paid for,  did not know she dropped it but the woman in front of her saw her drop it and took it.  She gave me a hug as she teared up saying thank you, I really wanted these pajamas for my grandson...she was sweet.  dawn xoxo
