People must be cleaning out their closets during these heat waves. The thrift shops are overflowing. I am delighted with this 3D metal horse scored for $2.99 at hospice thrift.
I began my weekend sourcing at a Goodwill in Rancho Cordova, California. The 4 bags of Barbie doll clothes were still in the blue bins, I grabbed all 4 at $1.99 each. My usual sewing patterns, and a sewing publication were also found. A little Hawaiian print table runner is now on display at home.
Here is the layout of the 4 bags of Barbie clothes. There were also a few micro doll clothes, and a couple pieces of Cabbage Patch/Build A Bear sized outfits.
They are lotted up by color. I seem to be the only seller in that category that sells that way.

Tinkerbell, also from the hospice thrift haul, models the cutest outfit of the bunch. I am keeping her and her mermaid outfits.
A large orange crocheted blanket ($2.99) came home to sell. I wash everything in Woolite whether it is a keeper or not.

At the Goodwill in Placerville, I found two more tarot decks. That seems to be the case, you catch up on listing in one category, and then you find more items.
I splurged on a formal gown + crystal necklace on this thrifting trip. Those will be showcased on an upcoming fun-with-photoshop post. I also found two Christmas tree pins to add to my pin forest, and a hat + wreath pin. All of those items are saved for my Countdown to Christmas posts.
I also bought a $2.99 bag of crocheted and embroidered linens. Mainly for the bluebird pillow cases.
Mystery bag of fabric for $5.99 resulted in 12 QAGs from a quilt guild. A QAG is a quilt-as-you-go completed block. These I will trim to square and just sew them all together and add a binding. This might be a great charity basket raffle quilt.
After I finish my commissioned patchwork piecing project, I will sew this QAG quilt together. I can finally acquaint myself with the portable Bernette sewing machine I bought a few months ago.
