Dry season?

The thrift stores have been very picked over.  With it being garage sale season I thought there would be more to chose from.  You figure what didn't sell they sent to the charity shops?  Either that or every one has caught on to this resale shopping secret.  While I was out at my favorite flea market today I overheard a dealer complaining about sales.  The owner claimed that April and May are the dry season?  Never heard of this.  I did sneak in on a few sales though!

Another doll trunk with this little boy lamb.  Perfect for storage and display.  

This was on the bottom shelf.  I spied it on the way out the door it is huge at 10x13 inches.  Super cute I cannot wait to frame her in a pink frame...maybe white.  Best three dollars spent all day.

I have been eyeing these two for over a year now.  They have been marked way too high for me.  I know they have to be Remple because of their anthropomorphic look.  She finally marked them down to half price and I found them hidden in another booth.  Score!

This is my idea of a dollar store buy.  Vintage millinery and baby rattles.

An old iron plant stand for my plethora of indoor plants.  This one has a screw on the base that allows it to move up and down...nifty.

Grey gingham?  It was a no brainer.  All three of these fabric are handkerchief weight.  I have summer tops planned for these.  

I am preparing for this weekend when we will try to work in 2 tournaments and regular season games.  Looks like I will be sending the boys one way and the girls another.  The secret is that the softball games are much shorter!  Yeah me...I plan on wrapping up my stitching project that was started during Spring Break.
