We try to really focus on toys that offer imaginative play, like costumes, crafts, books...Occasionally we'll buy them art supplies or books throughout the year. I love finding Golden Books or other classics at thrift stores. It's not just about saving money, but the reuse and thought behind finding quality treasures too. It's amazing how many like-new books I have found for 69 cents!Laurel Hamiltonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14191414534979252349noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6222684610127747768.post-70561148245112244682012-05-26T18:44:51.541-07:002012-05-26T18:44:51.541-07:00I was inspired by your post to do a bit of thrifti...I was inspired by your post to do a bit of thrifting myself; however, when I laid my wallet down to inspect an item on a shelf, someone grabbed my wallet! Fortunately, the thief took only the cash and stuffed my wallet deep into the pillow display where an honest clerk found and returned it to me. My wallet is FULL of gift cards (approximate value $400) plus many other things that would be difficult to replace so I am soooo grateful to have it back! <br /><br />The incident ruined my day but I am determined to go thrifting again soon!<br /><br />xoJanethttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17283941721180439222noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6222684610127747768.post-69737373118213424192012-05-25T06:48:10.815-07:002012-05-25T06:48:10.815-07:00LOVE the books! and yes, i am guilty of not really...LOVE the books! and yes, i am guilty of not really buying anything much new for isabel other than books (even those are usually from yard sales)bagfashionistahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11333545352923043668noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6222684610127747768.post-53042763094733373722012-05-24T18:59:50.674-07:002012-05-24T18:59:50.674-07:00That is such a cute idea!

My son is only 11 months - so he's still in the stage of being obsessed with pots, pans, and spatulas!Erikahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04991847991341488238noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6222684610127747768.post-52515099955568498022012-05-24T12:52:38.629-07:002012-05-24T12:52:38.629-07:00Hehe, I go to a little thrift store here like that...Hehe, I go to a little thrift store here like that! I am all stoked to find a jadeite bowl and plate for $3 each and she charged me $2.50 for both of them instead of the $6 I was more than happy to pay :)Kari ---https://www.blogger.com/profile/00247120402319215050noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6222684610127747768.post-31236932981612682072012-05-24T10:37:42.836-07:002012-05-24T10:37:42.836-07:00The cats are purrrrfectly precious.
