I have been seeing all the great finds that people have posted from thrift stores, so I decided to give it a try myself.

I went shopping over the weekend and stopped in at a fairly new thrift store.

I found a package marked material for $3.99 and it was full of calico fabric.

Imagine my surprise when I got home, to find that it was an estimated total of about 12 yds!!!!

Man I really need to find one of these thrift shops. You are all so very lucky to have shops with these kinds of treasures.
