Memorial Day Weekend Finds

I'm in a bit of a time crunch - I am defending my thesis on June 9th, so I've been spending a lot of time on revisions and just finishing things up in that department. So I'm a bit late posting my finds from the weekend.

I went out for a little bit on Friday and Saturday mornings. I went to one estate sale on Saturday and picked up (yet) another copy of my favorite cookbook - the 1970s Betty Crocker cookbook. I keep picking them up in hopes that I will find one in pristine condition. I gave the best one I had to my mom for Mother's Day so she has a nice copy (hers is really beat up!). Besides that I didn't find anything - there was a small Sprite that had been used as a dog toy and a Gonga plush with a really chewed up hand. I did not bring those home.

Earlier on Friday I had quite a bit of luck thrifting and at a garage sale. Pictured above and below are the items that I picked up! I was especially pleased with the Friend Bear Plush - such nice condition! I also oddly enough broke my 'I will never buy a Cabbage Patch Doll" rule. I don't know what came over me. There was also another troll... but it was really sticky! Gross! I'm pretty sure it was just the plasticizer leaking out (at least that's what I chose to believe)... but I was still grossed out. I put that in a bag to donate back to the thrift store.

I'm a little behind this week - but if you would like to check out what fun things other people discovered on their thrifting adventures this weekend please check out Thrift Share Monday on the ApronThriftGirl blog!
