Thrift Shop Finds May 2011 (Fabrics)
We found a great little thrift store a couple of blocks from the beach in Cayucos, CA today. I picked up some jersey-knit cotton, some cotton flannel, and some great wool and cashmere for upcycling.
I also made MrJ try on some of my finds. This is my favorite. He looks like Mister Rogers, even though it’s not a cardigan!
That’s MrJ in the Celery Lands End Cashmere Sweater. The grey Pendleton sweater has 4 or 5 moth holes in it; otherwise I would have been tempted to resell it. The flannels and jersey knits are for a new stash of cloth diapers, and I’m sure the Pendleton will become a diaper cover or two. Still not sure what I’ll do with the cashmere, but I have a hunch it will also be baby-related. Why baby-related, you ask? Oh, didn’t I tell you?
This could be why I never blog anymore.
