Okay, so I am doing a little "spa day" on Monday 2/18 for some friends of mine. We're going to make and do facials, making a cleanser, mask, moisturizer, toner, etc out of fruits and veggies and natural, organic ingredients and such. I'll do a soapmaking demo and we'll make a lotion bar and lip balm.
Well...of course I was wondering what I was gonna wear and which apron. I like to wear a full apron, cause when I get creative, I get a little messy...I would love it if I had a nice white or off-white with lace or ruffle trim and I could wear it over a grey cotton knit casual dress - so I went to my favorite thrift looking for something...and I actually FOUND a grey-ish full apron with some colored stripes on it that was homemade by someone and it will work just fine for my purposes. It looks like kind of a Mexican trim, and even has a pocket. Finding it like that was...kind of a little eerie for me.
At the same time, I found a hard back copy of a book I've been looking for for some time - it just jumped off the shelf at me.
I'm wondering if I am manifesting these goodies to come my way?!?
Well, it wasn't as good as Nancy Jo's days at the thrift, but it worked for me :-) Judy

That's 'Nancy Jo's first law of thrifting', all right. If you need it, it will come. LOL!

Don't you just love days like that. It helps make up for all the "Dry days" that we have sometimes. There have been times I have totally hit the "motherload" and other times I have left empty handed. Funny, on the days I leave empty handed I feel almost sad or picked on! LOL!
Hugs & blessings,

Now if that book fell and hit you on the head, I guess you could call it fate? haha. I'm getting ready to head out thrifting. Hope to find some goodies to share. :)

| My husband and I headed to the office supply store one day because we'd decided to bite the bullet and buy a filing cabinet. Two blocks from the store, we found a filing cabinet on the curb. It's amazing how these things just happen sometimes. Trouble is you can't really count on them happening at a convenient time and place. But it's really cool when they do. |

I agree completely: you just don't know when or where, but all of a sudden, why, there's a perfect bookcase! A little scuffed but perfect!
