I am a thrift store junkie. Amanda Byne's got plastic surgery and I've got Goodwill. My family doesn't understand my pure absolute bliss while digging through overly Febreeze-d clothing and hunting for knick knacks that probably came from a deceased old lady's mantle, but I cannot get enough. At least part of my daily wardrobe is a thrifted item, which as an art teacher makes sense, because you just never know when a student will drop an ENTIRE container of glaze in your lap (did I mention the container was open too?). Here are my finds from this weekend:
Clothing: One old man sweater complete with elbow patches and a gorgeous linen French Connection dress
Books: The Cooking of Scandinavia and Pippi in the South Seas by Astrid Lindgren
Accessories: Brand new canvas backpack from Target (Christmas present baby!)
Schtuff: Vintage picnic basket to store my sewing supplies, two teacup sets, and of course, a mason jar
The teacups are going to be used as Christmas gifts for some colleagues at school, so stay tuned!
Oh and I'll leave you with this tidbit from today:
Kindergartener: Miss French Fry, why are your legs yellow?
MFF: Well, I was really hungry this morning, so I ate A LOT of mustard for breakfast.
K: GASP
Let's see if that earns me any phone calls tomorrow or forever deters children from enjoying bratwurst's favorite condiment. Until next time, eat your mustard Arties!
