Today's Scores

I have a problem, it's called thrifting.  I hadn't even been home from having my baby for 2 weeks and had the itch to go hunting.  My husband enjoys it too because he was all for a trip to a local thrift store.

I was wondering... Is there any interest out there for a "Thrifted Giveaway"?

Found more books on this trip.  I couldn't resist these vintage school books.  There were 13 in a bag for $1.98

And vintage baby books for $1.48 each!

And a vintage Mattel 1967 Mrs. Beasley for $7.98 - her pull string works but there's no sound.
Most dolls at this store are in plastic bags, there were about 20 dolls in bags sitting in a pile and when I pulled her out, I knew I had to see her tag.  Thanks to my Droid (while still at the thrift store), I found her information just by doing a Google search on "1967 Mattel doll".

Lastly, a vintage silk scarf from Japan for $1.98 - I love the colors and print on this...
