Michelle claims that I have some sort of thrift store luck, but I'm not sure if I do. My thrift store guru has always been my Mom (Hi Mom!). Every time I visit we go to the Mobile, AL thrift store and comb through the racks.
I'm going to try and make my thrift store finds a regular update, as they're fun and weird to post. Here's a couple of my recent finds to get us started:
Princess dress (America's Thrift, Mobile, AL) - $20
Velvet Kali/Kalika painting (Goodwill, Cary, NC) - did not purchase!
The skirt and underskirt for this costume (Goodwill, Cary, NC):
More to come - this is just the beginning!

Hi Leah, Yes, we do have the love for the Thrift Stores and Yard Sales. It is like a "Box of Chocolates". That is one shopping experience that you do like and you have a good eye for seeing potential in things.
Thanks Mom! I've gotten a little better at shopping over the years :)
One of my faves from your mom is "It was weird, and I thought you'd like it." I think it's that sensibility, coupled with the willingness to dig through crap to find the good stuff, tinyness, an artist's eye, and a bit of the luck o' the Irish. You're the perfect storm of thrift store excellence!
