Thrifting Yay!

I went to visit my grandparents the other day and they weren't home :-(. So while I waited I went to the thrift store around the corner and got amazing stuff!

First this dress which I got because it has a ridiculous amount of beading. Plus it fit perfectly. I have no idea when or where I'll wear it but believe me I'll find a place. So much fun and only $8.

Second, my new bag. I had been looking for one for spring and this one is perfect because it can fit multiple books all at once! And it has a special compartment for make-up.

Third is the singing duck with a hat, Daisy, with whom I had a rocky relationship to start. This is him refusing my kiss.

Now, this is me angry.

And finally we made up.

Here's dasiy with Rufus, the one eared dog I got at the Christmas Tree Shop for $2. I don't know what my problem is, but I can't help myself from buying what seems like unwanted cheap figurines. This thrift store in particular is not a good place for that. Still I loooove my thrift store finds.

The Christmas Tree Shop is Amazing!

I was at the Christmas Tree Shop again with Mitch so he could get another Batman headboard. While we were there he found a candle thing for a table that was $1 and I bet him that I could find something better. And I found this:

A completely adorable dog with a bouncy head named Rufus. Unfortunately for the bet he was $1.99 so he couldn't win it for me. But something special about Rufus made it impossible for me to not get him.

Yes, he only has one ear. I fell prey to what I call "ugly beanie baby syndrome". Back when beanie babies were popular and there were always carts of them at the mall, I would look at one that was just hideous, mention that it was hideous and wonder why anyone would ever buy it and go to walk away. Then I though why WOULD anyone ever buy it? It's just going to sit out on this cart wasting away, unwanted. And I would end up buying it. This is how I acquired about 20 of the ugliest beanie babies ever made. And how I got Rufus. But seriously, how could I resist?
