Eleven Minutes!

Each Friday I love to share a vintage find.

Today I have more than one.
I was recently with some friends out of town.
Along the journey, we passed the local Goodwill.


Well, I really couldn't pass that up!

I often have better luck at thrift stores
 than I do at Goodwill,
but I was miles away from my home turf.


Who knows what treasures awaited me!


Knowing that my friend was
 not a thrifting enthusiast,
 I asked for twenty minutes
to go check it out . . .

Here is what I found.


One New Needlepoint Pillow





One Large Embroidered Table Runner
in Excellent Condition





One Finished Candlewick Embroidered
Pillow Front in Excellent Condition


My purchase came to less than $3.50,
and I was back in the car in
eleven minutes!

My friend who loves needlework responded,
"I could have been in there all day. 
 I never would have found that stuff."


Is there an art to thrifting?

Let me know what you think.
