~ Thrifty-Thursday Finds ~

I have been trying to be on a Thrifting diet.  Mainly because I absolutely have enough correspondence items currently at home.  There are days where I am on a bit of auto-pilot and I find myself at a local Thrift shop to "just look around".  Ha!  My fellow Thrifters know what that means.  You are almost guaranteed a "find" with that thought process!

New set of stationery with matching envelopes.  Price: $1.29

Boxed, new set of 20 fairy note cards with envelopes. Price: $1.91

New, Qty 50 #10 letter sized envelopes Price: $.77

New, Qty 36 Smile Face Bulletin Board Accents $.99

Who doesn't love a smile?  I'll be thinking of creative ways to utilize these!

A few weeks ago I treated myself to a  $20.00 shopping spree at Michael's. While Michael's is not a traditional Thrift Store, there are plenty of bargains on any given day. I just love perusing the aisles and bins, getting lost in my thoughts and discovering great finds.  I found great paper/writing inspirations at absolute bargain prices.  These included Note Card sets, Paperpad Mousepads, Lined and Unlined Note Pads.  I was so happy to find lined items as I much prefer to write with pre-printed lines.  I'm super self conscious at how wavy and wonky my writing gets using unlined paper; but I continue to push through those insecurities.  Many that you see below I picked up in multiple quantities. Because I hate using up favorite items and, I like to share.  Can't you just imagine all the fun letters that will be written on these items?

What have you treated yourself to lately?
