I have a favorite thrift store in town. All the items are 50% off everyday. I find some delicious treasures there. Here's what I found last time I went. First off, buttons! Some of them are too trashed to use, but there are some very interesting little vintage buttons in there too.

| Whole Bag $1.50 |
A little binder filled with about 30 colors of embroidery floss, organized in zipped pouches.
 |
| $1.50 |
Grab bag full of goodies.
 |
| $1.50 |
Another grab bag.
 |
| Hook and eyes! At last. $2.00 |
And this one held a special surprise.
 |
| What is that thing with the cute Russian dude on it? Whole bag $1.50 |
It's a punch needle. I've never used one before, but it comes with very clear instructions. So, yeah, gotta go google that.
 |
| Or it's for doing weird drugs |
I also found three panels of cotton voile curtains from World Market. 40" x 84". So I think about 7 yards.
 |
| Not this orange. More rust colored. $6.50 for all three |
And last but not least, this pretty shawl. I have no idea what it is made of. The embroidery is most certainly rayon, but I really can't tell what the actually shawl is and there is no tag. I'm guessing maybe a rayon/cotton blend?
 |
| $7.50 |
 |
| The embroidery is really pretty |
 |
| If you look closely, maybe you can guess. |
Sum Total of Purchases. $22.00. I can literally make a Regency dress, embroider it and accessorize it with a pretty shawl with that.
