Thrift Tuesday

I went thrifting last weekend, and found some things i really liked. I found 8 cones of sewing thread for overlock/coverlock machines, and only paid like $10 for it. Super fancy! I especially liked the turquoise ones, and that it was so much of each left. I'm sure these are gonna be useful for me, since I started sewing more last month and filling my wardrobe with homemade pieces that fit my body and fills my gaps in my wardrobe.

I also found some wool-blend fabrics that I'll use for a dress or skirt, and maybe something else. The fabric is slightly itchy, but it good fabric so I'll just find the right pattern for each fabric.

Three blue bowls is my next find. I really loved them when I saw them, and thought, "why not?" and bought them for when eating sushi, or japan-inspired food, for holding the rice.

I found 4 sweaters of 100% merino wool which is my best thrift find this time I think. A black one was for my fiance, and rest is for my winter plan. It's gonna be a cardigan with pattern from an Ottobre magazine. I just need to find 2 more sweaters that work with the purple which this one was in, since the pattern calls for 3 different colors.

I have also found some books i fell for. One is for home remedies, one is a Finnish cookie-recipe-book (I can't read Finnish :S ) and a mushroom booklet. Although it's almost too late for mushroom-hunting this year, it's good for next year though. The remedies book is for me, who get sick easily, and I need to know some tips and tricks for keeping myself healthy and in top-shape. And the Finnish book, well... It just looked so fun, and the pictures looked really tasty.

Next week we'll see what I find at the thriftshop!
