 I "test drove" this one and could have sold it three times!

A Morning Thrift

I had to run some errands in town this morning, so stopped off at our local Thrift Shop...
I bought the bag of thousands of paintbrushes so I won't feel guilty when I use Mod Podge and then forget to wash the brush... The 2 quart jar will hold a collection of treasures or Red Vines.... The pegboards and little wooden pieces will surely fascinate small children (or me)... the girdle clips might just end up on some necklaces! I also found a really cool pocketknife, some handmade lace, and a grout sponge.
KaChing!
