Daily Face: July 29 and Thrifted Art Supplies

I went to the thrift store today and found this unused art paper. I could not pass it up it is Strathmore 11"x 14" Bristol Vellum, Bristol Smooth, and Tracing Paper, also new markers. I don't know what I will do with the tracing paper, it may come in handy someday. It was cheap.

My Thrift Store Finds

Digging for treasures
I love to go thrifting. It's the art of finding that treasure at a very low cost. Sometimes nothing calls me to take it home and then there are days when everything is calling. However deciding what really needs to go home and what doesn't is the hard part. I don't believe in clutter therefore it must have a purpose. My most recent adventure lured me into buying Christmas décor. As I stated before in a previous post. I walk around and take pictures then I decide what to take home. Here are a few of my thrift store photos:
Jewelry Cabinet $34 "New"


Silverware Cabinet $59. I regretted not buying this. Someone else purchase it.







2 B & W Prints $39 each


This is what I came home with for Christmas.



I actually had been eyeing bank for weeks.

My daughter always wanted one

Jewelry cabinets usually run around $75 at thrift stores.

Literary Friday

So I've been MIA for a while, but still reading.  I am currently reading The Scavenger's Manifesto. It's about being more eco-minded, how to create a lifestyle out of recycling, reusing, and repurposing rather than buying new. I must admit that I have not been faithful to it. I started reading on April 30, but picked up four other books and completed them Broken Harbor (2 stars); 2030 -The Real Story of What Happens to America (2 stars); Into Thin Air - A Personal Account of the Mount Everest Disaster (4 stars); The Hunter - A Chinese Folktale (4 stars).
Hopefully this week I'll finish The Scavengers Manifesto.
I also wanted to share this great book find at Thrift store. Leather bound books for $4 a piece published 1979. I really don't care about date but I love leather bound books. These look like new, they were never opened.
