So.... thrift store confession time. Hubby and I both found a couple of things we rather liked after bowling on Sunday but didn't want to pay full thrift store price and we noticed that they would be included in the sale going on today. We took the risk that they wouldn't be there today -- and they weren't, but we found a bunch of other nice things going to a total of 4 Goodwills today (and I skipped one of my favorite ones, wrong direction)! A couple things on "the list" of things we hope to find, a USB vinyl to digital turntable, it was on the special sale and under $20, new in the box.

We both found some nice clothing items, I got a lovely light weight/indoor jacket by Jones New York in unworn condition and a perfect fit on tag for 1.79! Hubby got a shirt brand new with store tags for the same, along with some other things.

And yes, there was some fabric. Picture one are two pieces, the price tag had been taken off but they sold them to me for $5.00 total. I have some of the fabrics in that top already and plenty of options to add a border and make a twin sized donation. I think that's a disappearing 9-patch??

Picture 2 are some vintage fabrics -- the beige is odd, 40" wide, a border print of sort -- maybe meant for pillow cases? The other two are both 36" wide, the zig-zag fabric I have in my collection from before in Black and Bright Blue. And I think the floral is pretty ugly but will add a nice zingy border or binding or something for my friends and their 30s fabrics. They were all on minor markdown, about $1/yard. I seem to become helpless in overcoming my desire for vintage.

The final picture shows a really lovely 100% cotton made in India bedspread?/huge table cloth?? that I got on tag day for $1.79 and the pieced center I got a different store for $2.00 that I can expand with my black fabrics to fit that backing. The same person had turned in several variations on the square, the others were different colors and different stages of completion, one just needed binding for a wall hanging.

In my case, I know that unfinished tops and UFOs count as fabric additions. But as the peanut butter cups would say, still not sorry!
