feel-in' thrifteee!

i seriously enjoy spending time with my children, and one of our favorite things to do as of late is thrift store shop. last week was no different. with only my two girls by my side, we hit our favorite store and got it in!

so many things to see and buy. for starters, baby girl wanted this cool lil hula doll. i think it may actually be a knick-knack, but it was only 0.99 and she said she wanted to put it on the new folding table i picked up for her study area (for only $5). the plan is to pain, decoupage, or SOMETHING it.

for the house i purchased a small shelf and two sconces (which will sprayed metallic gold) to display an arabic plaque i got at six flag's muslim youth day last month.

a few other things brought home were this awesome painting on glass, (trust me, the photo DOES NOT do the vibrant colors justice), and two wicker baskets whose use i still haven't decided.

for my sewing endeavors i copped this plastic wood-look sewing 'basket', and MOST EXCITINGLY, patterns that cost a STUPENDOUS 0.49 each! WOOHOO!! they're were only four that i wanted, but any sewists out there KNOWS the thrill that comes with getting such a deal. 

this will be getting a face lift, too.

not very large inside, but will do for
moving small projects around the house.

i will use the child's doctor costume to
islaamic garb, and the blazer pattern
is great for a fabric i planned to sew a
jibaab. 

i didn't buy anything for myself, but i eyed a couple of purses i had to DRAG myself from the store in order to leave behind. i would show them to you, but blogger won't allow me to upload anymore photos. hmph! go figure... 

i need to get going anyway, i have lots to do! all my grand plans of chores to get done today have yet to be  realized. 

toodles!
