I love Thrift Stores---have found just the right fabric that I had invisioned for a particular quilt there and so much cheaper than LQS or Joannes. If I do not go once a week, I have withdrawal. Also for you Grandmas out there that make doll clothes for your grandaughters, I buy kids clothes or tween clothes to use---Just take apart and lay the pattern out and sew. My grandaughter loved that her Samanta's clothes were different than others and I can usually get them for 99 cents to $1.99---if there are any pieces left over, I use them to make a doll quilt. I AM ADDICTED--have also found great items for storage there for great prices. Just bought those cube squares that you put together for $2.99 for 24 of them--am going to rearrange and use them in sewing room. Ok, tough to be at work---I want to go again now.
