One thing I have always noticed through...Hi Kelly,<br /><br />One thing I have always noticed through the years is that it seems that some thrift stores have way better prices than others. I have always tended to favour small thrift stores either in church basements or hospital auxiliary shops. Not sure if you have any of those in Calgary, it seems that in a lot of bigger places many of the little shops are being shut down and only bigger ones like Value Village and Salvation Army are left. We always like to make thrifting a part of our travels too and have found some wonderful small thrift store in the places we go.Heatherhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01343988569221606506noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3559352152168236450.post-32770676656323972582011-04-24T20:50:44.756-07:002011-04-24T20:50:44.756-07:00Heather,

Many things are cheaper to buy new. It is really nuts. The other day there was a little sketch book—not even a 'real art store' sketch book that some child had drawn in and it was priced for $2.99. (It was a small coil bound book with only a few sheets.) Those beautiful napkins would have been $3-4 dollars here, Sigh.<br /><br />Happy for you!<br /><br />KellyAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04736414839347644091noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3559352152168236450.post-33897636123525121592011-04-09T05:06:00.167-07:002011-04-09T05:06:00.167-07:00The aprons are charming.

I haven't had mushroom soup since I was a kid (and ours came in a white and red can ;), but now that I'm older and love fresh whole foods, maybe it's time I try my hand at making my own from scratch.

I've not shared much about this on my blog...maybe i shall!<br /><br />I've loved the history too that I can share with the boys who interestingly love to accompany me on thrift adventures...the latest curious and funny thing they've leaned about were the old sets of electric rollers on the stand that heat up before use. Do you know the kind? They were fascinated with these! They thought it was particularly comical that I had one, long ago, lol.<br /><br />I love your view, it was hard to concentrate on the aprons ;)Erinhttp://erin-awildandpreciouslife.blogspot.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3559352152168236450.post-20381185951389614362011-04-08T09:12:15.528-07:002011-04-08T09:12:15.528-07:00Those aprons are adorable...and the soup looks del...Those aprons are adorable...and the soup looks delicious!
