I promised to show you the goodies I scored at the thriftstore yesterday, so here goes...
I fell instantly in love with these mugs; I simply had to have them. I never did tell about our mug-love, did I? Perhaps a topic for another post. Let me just say that the mugs are spilling from our cupboard, but after buying these we got rid of three others. So good of us.
Then these shirts... aren't they totally fug fantastic?! Michel is going to spend a weekend with his best friend soon and he says they will wear these shirts. At least I don't have to worry that they'll be chased by any girls then ;)
Rattle socks for Linus. I'm thinking of putting the rattles into a fabric ball that I want make for him. Or should I leave them as they are? They're cute!
Lovely books for everyone. Click the photo to see who they are for. Of course, the bottom one is for me.
It only cost a couple of cents and there are some great softies in there as you can see: I love that Adam and Eve!
And then finally I found four nifty baskets. I have a feeling that they're from Ikea; at least that would explain their tight fit into our Billy bookcase!
As you can tell, Michel and I were mighty pleased with our finds. When we go to the thriftstore we always come away with something... do you ever leave empty handed?!
Oh my gosh, you realize those shirts kind of match those mugs, right? And the softies book is fabulous! Lucky, lucky you, I think I'm overdue for a little trip to the thrift store...

Awesome finds Mirre! We should see Linus in those new socks before we can give an opinion on whether to use them elsewhere LOL!

They are from IKEA - I have the same ones, bought in the Minneapolis IKEA a couple of years ago. Great finds! The thrift store shelves here in the U.S. are pretty picked clean these days, sadly. I hope that doesn't happen in Holland down the road.

Geweldig al die tweedehands spulletjes. Ik vind het altijd 100 x beter dan nieuw, net of je er meer van geniet. Ze zien er allemaal erg leuk uit.
