Thrifty: Basket

August 16, 2013
It's been about 7 months since I last went thrift/vintage shopping. The thrift/vintage scene isn't too amazing in our neck of the woods so I have to drive 30 minutes to get anywhere decent. I know, I know. What's 30 minutes when there are so many amazing things to be found? istillloveyou-thrifty-basket2 Tuesday, we needed to get out of the house. With Chris and I working from home, we find ourselves needing to get out of the house to avoid spontaneous combustion. Penelope had been whining to drive to Phoenix all day (Chris and the kids just left this morning). She gets really grating after whining the same thing for 8 hours. So I took her to the thrift store for a little "shopping spree". I love that she still thinks the thrift store is cool. We bought a zillion books a few clothes for Penelope and me, some kick-trash leather creative recreation hi-tops for Felix and this basket. The basket is not much to look at, but I'm in love with the size and the angular shape. istillloveyou-thrifty-basket This really was a reminder that I still love going thrift shopping. I would like to make the effort to go more than twice a year.
