Good for you, Edna! I went to two thrift stores today. The fabric was not
worth buying, but I did find a fantastic vintage table cloth for just $2.00.
It is a 1950s style, with huge red vegetables and vines. It just came out of
my washer and looks great. I also bought two pairs of quilt hangers for
another $2.00. I'm pleased, especially about that table cloth!

My SO and I were driving through town yesterday and saw that the thrift
store annexed to the local Ecumenical Ministries was selling its clothing
inventory for $1 per article of clothing. My SO pointed it out to me, and
a couple of blocks later, I said, "Turn around."
I got a couple dozen linen and cotton dresses for $1 per dress -- up to
two yards each. I guess I'll be spending my evenings snipping out trim,
armholes, darts, etc., to get to the broad expanses of sturdy fabric, but
it's easy, mindless labor..CUT!
