It's Just Stuff

It's the end of an era. The Lightning McQueen shoe summer. This weekend we said good-bye (actually I said good-bye) to the shoes Finn has loved the entire Summer. His toes were poking out the ends and his feet stunk like nobody's business. No one was around when I silently threw these babies in the trash.

Can somebody pinch me? I was in dreamland today at Unique Thrift (remember half price Mondays? Well....they're back!) Some great finds from today: a beautiful vintage ballerina paint-by-number.

A handmade sweater for Lucy. I have a collection of these hanging on her crib and when she's done wearing this one, I'll make some sort of display of them on her wall probably. Because hopefully by then she'll be out of a crib!
And, I wasn't disappointed when I went to Unique to furnish Finn's entire winter wardrobe. What did I come away with? A huge stack of 3T and 4T name-brand clothes for about $25. If Unique doesn't have it, I don't know who will!

Man, I wish we had a store like that. I'm going thrift shopping today to find things for our Hal. Costumes. I'm not getting my hopes up. Also, next summer it might be worth it to splurge and get the crocs brand sandals. They are made with antibacterial material and your feet never smell in them (at least Max's don't). We had to buy crocs (max has a foot sweating issue and we live on the sun) even though he wanted the cars ones. poor kid.

Wow! Congratulations on your great bargains. I'm feeling sad to see those little red rubber shoes and knowing that Finn won't be running around in them ever again. I'm glad you took a picture for posterity.

I was wondering today where a good thrift store was. You'll have to tell me how to get there.
