so as tradition should have it the mister met me at bart yesterday and we wheeled our way to thrift town where we got some great stuff. the mister got two really great jackets and some blue bike spandex, can't WAIT to see him wear those bad boys ;D and i got 2 cute blue dresses of which you can see bits of it in the below picture. but since i was so pumped on bike embroidery i made a bee line to the frame section and grabbed some frames and to my surprise there was a TON of bags of embroidery floss...fate right? so i grabbed a bag which had some new colors i didn't have which will be nice for custom orders :) i plan on making another one this weekend and this time the mister will not get his way no matter how cute he is...
oh and found this super cute sterling silver bracelet with flowers carved on it :D yay!
i hope everyone has a great weekend, i will be getting my hands dirty with grease as i fix ursula up :) can't wait to share my bike chick tip with you next week and some new skirts i plan on making on sewing sunday!
xo,

Nice finds! I love finding floss in thrift stores. Somehow I always find colors I can't find in the usual craft stores...maybe they are discontinued lines!
ReplyDeleteYes, yey for Labor Day and for goodies such as the blue dresses and that gorgeous bracelet.
ReplyDeleteGreat thrift finds! I'll have to keep an eye out for floss next time I go thrifting; it didn't even occur to me to look for it before! That would be a great money-saver!
ReplyDeleteGreat finds! Oh how I wish I had a short week too...I have to work tomorrow :( so sad.
ReplyDeleteCan't wait to see your newest bike embroidery!! Happy weekend!

ReplyDeleteooh, nice score! :)
ReplyDeleteGreat finds! I recently found lots of frames at a thrift store. I am going to put them on the wall as is without anything in them. I think it will be a nice arrangement!
ReplyDeleteGreat finds! I hope you have a great weekend!
