Thriftfab4

I have to say, the Memphis thrift shops have been good to me. I've been using considerable self-control with my purchases considering that we will be flying back home with the same number of bags we flew here with, which was already too many. I do have several projects in the works including my gifts for the 12 days of Christmas exchange that I need fabric for, and since I couldn't bring my whole stash along with me, I've given myself permission to do a little fabric shopping.

Lovely yellows, rich browns, happy blues. My favorites, though, are the vintage sheets.

Except for a few buttons, maybe some trim, I'm all set. At least for a little while. It wouldn't take me long at all to have this nice, neat, little apartment overflowing with crap that I'm sure I'd convince myself I couldn't live without.

Oh my! What goodies! I like the sheets too. Something about thrift shops in Memphis just sounds like a song or something! :) Amy

I'm going to have to start hitting up the thrift shops, I see so many people with great finds they have found at them.

Groovy goodies you luck girl!

Wow great fabric finds!! How could you possible resist of course!!? ha.
They look such happy fabrics so I'm sure there will be lots of ideas brewing.

Yum, yum! Love the fabrics and the vintage sheets are irrestible... Great thrifting!
