I have an affliction for Pendleton woolens... be it blankets, throws, shawls, clothing...
I keep Pendleton woolen robes in each of my trailers... as well Pendleton shirt/jackets in my trailer and my home closet.
When ever I find a Pendleton anything at a good price... I scoop it up. So my newest find is this jacket... and it looks to be brand stinkin' new! and the best part, $6.00...SCORE!
And here is my newest find.
I also scored this almost new Scottish Lambs wool scare for $2.00
I also found the sweet little girl embroidered cotton gloves for $1.50....
twas a great day to Thrift!

Wow! That's a beautiful jacket. I can't believe you found it, much less at that price.
There's a store near my parents that has a bin of old Pendleton shirts -- they're all small sizes, but I love sifting through it and thinking of rugs that could be hooked with them. My kids refuse to wear the shirts because they're "itchy" -- I worry about them being spoiled with fleece, but then my youngest went off the school wearing a wool cap I knit for her this week.
Enjoy your finds! |

Somewhere around here I have a black-and-white photo of me at age 3 doing a little ballet pose on a Pendleton wool blanket that was given to my parents as a wedding gift. I loved that thing so much -- and was crushed when I came home for a visit in my 40s (or thereabouts) to discover my mom had gotten rid of it. Waaaaa! I'd love to have one like it now. Y'all have got me started.... |

I was given a pretty trashed up wool Pendleton blanket.... I washed it 3 times...& dried it 3 times...it is soooo thick now.... :>)
anyways I cut it up and made 2 toss pillows with it...and I used the fringe on one of the pillows....
Not bad for -0-$
JoAnne, score on the 55cents rack!

I just cut up two Pendleton blazers for the wool to felt--they were 55 cents on the outdoor rack at my thrift stores. Everything that doesn't sell goes on the outside rack for 55 cents. |

I've drooled over that jacket in the catalogs more than once.
I've been collecting their legendary coffee mugs each year too.

Ooo! Good catch! I love Pendletons too and they find their way into my woolen stash when ever I find them out thrifting or yard sale-ing. Those gloves take me back to Easter bests of my girlhood =}
