my thrift pal...

yes. i have a thrift pal. i didnt know it, but it kind of just happened. who is it?

sammy d vintage. yerp the one and only. toward the end of 2011 she said she wanted to send me an ugly christmas sweater. unfortunately i didn't get back with her until late. however, she still sent me a sweater and a few other things.
when i first looked at this i was scratching my head trying to figure out what to do with it. it didn't take long for me to come up with a great solution for this plaid piece.
i turned it into a bow tie. yea. the width was great so it was just a matter of bowing it and have it ready to wear.

what do you think? do you want a thrift pal?

Found your blog via honey and fitz. So up my alley. i feel weird sometimes when I brag about my finds to others as they don't realize the treasure to be found. Best so far was a le creuset pot (garlic shaped) in the box. best 3 bucks i ever spent. resold on ebay for 280! Cheers to you and your fantastic finds.

I am new to your blog. Saw you on Nate and have read about you at Rhoda's and Nester's blogs. I think you are fabulous. I love a thrifty find, too.:) Your goals for 2012 sound great--as well as your idea for a shop. I think you should make the custom made bow tie your signature piece and sell them in your store. :) Best of luck. You are super talented.:)
