Sugar skull nightgown
I found this at the thrift store on Sunday and was so happy that I never paid full price for it at the store. I did modify it a bit - who wants heart shaped buttons on their skull nightgown?!

We also found two skirts and two shirts for the girls! I asked Fallie if she would wear the yellow skirt and she answered, “Derrrr!” Finn wants some button up shirts so the light green floral shirt will be worn in a few months. We all liked the donkey t-shirt and Finn can pretend she has been to the Grand Canyon! It is on our list of places to go in the near future so she won’t be lying for too long.

Fallie also found this little (9 inches tall) chest of drawers. One of the butterfly handle’s wings is chipped but otherwise it is in perfect condition. It’s like somebody left this stuff at the store just for her.

Fallie scored this great wooden box at the thrift store on Saturday. She put LOL inside with a pillow and blanket but I’m sure the contents will vary. She was thrilled that I let her decorate the box however she wanted.
birthday gift for the girls’ friend Z
aqua dress for Finn
Another article of clothing I found at the thrift store… Finn loves dresses like this and the color makes her eyes look amazing and bottomless.
thrift store books for kids
- Usborne Discovery Internet-Linked Snakes by Rachel Firth & Jonathan Sheikh-Miller because we have found several snakes this summer and watched them eat mice at the nature preserve recently.
- Best Friends for Frances by Russell & Lillian Hoban because we love Frances and don’t have this one. Also, the illustrations in this copy are lovely and muted, not the too bright colors of the newer edition.
- Emily the Strange Morphing Journal by Chronicle Books for Finn because she loves journals. She also has an Emily Strange skateboard deck and action figure with cat. The image of Emily on the cover slowly morphs into a black cat and is pretty cool.
- There is one page ripped out of the journal but nothing was written in it.
- The Second Usborne Book of Solve it Yourself Mysteries looked cheesy but interesting for eight and nine year olds.
