Thrift Store Haul – Sunshine Thrift Store!

Went to Sunshine Thrift Store with a friend of mine today – first time ever there.  Tons of stuff to look at.  The plus size section was pretty extensive – much better than Goodwill.  But before I get to the goodies (there’s not much, but I did get a few neat things), I have to comment about this one lady at the store.

She had a Louis Vuitton Pochette purse listed at $8.95.  I just saw it on Ebay for $90 (and that was with a damaged handle).  The LV site has it retailed at about $500.  She didn’t buy it – the inside was ‘dirty’ (let me correct her – it was DUSTY).  Are you FREAKING kidding me lady??  I’m half tempted to go back, buy it, and sell it.

Anyways, here’s the few items I purchased today.  I’m still on the hunt for stuff to wear with my skirts, leggings and boots.

I also found an unopened blank canvas (for painting on) for $4.95, size 24″x30″!  I see a painting in my future…

That’s really about it for purchases today.  I had a great time getting out with my friend, doing something we both love.  Hopefully we’ll get to do it again soon!

Clearance Haul – Michael’s Halloween!

Took a trip to Michael’s to pick up black dye for some clothing experiments I’m hoping to try. I picked up a couple containers of RIT liquid dye, to dye a pair of dark grey jeans and a pair of heather grey arm warmers to black.

I also have a sheer shirt in this burnt orange colour which I used to love, but now I just don’t wear it at all anymore. I’m not sure if it’s nylon or polyester or what, so I decided to try and find iDye Poly fabric dye and give it a whirl… unfortunately only Joann’s has it, so I had to make a second trip to Joann’s to get it.

The plus side of getting to go to Michael’s is hitting up the last of their Halloween clearance – yay! It’s my favourite holiday of the year. So I picked up a few things:

16 (two eight packs) Coffin Shaped note cards with envelopes: $3 ($1.50 each)
Hexes & Curses witchy box: $4

Skully candle holder (currently containing a glass candle that I also bought on clearance at Michael’s a few weeks ago 3/$10): $4

I got told by my partner I can’t spend any more money for a while 😛 So that’s all for the time being. Ta!

Haul: Plato’s Closet 10-4-13 – The Halloweenie Episode!

Hi, folks! Went to Plato’s Closet for the first time today and was really impressed with the sheer volume of clothing and accessories they sell. First I perused their bags and purses. I saw a few things I liked, but I didn’t want to spend $12 on the cute plaid messenger bag (maybe I’ll go back and get it another time). I saw a pair of Cons that I considered getting, but skipped it this time. The men’s jeans were all too big and baggy for my tastes, so I skipped those too. I hit up the huge wall-o-tshirts, and found a few that I really liked. I also picked up a purple plaid button down shirt, and a small shirt for my partner’s teen daughter. Instagram pics below:
