January Thrift Bonanza

For my first thrift of 2025 I went to our local brick and mortar Goodwill to see if I could find a few things, like this holiday and party cookbook. I need some inspiring recipes and I like Taste of Home cookboosk because the recipes are easy to adapt to our low-fat and sugarfree preferences.

I also cruised the craft aisle and found a mystery bag of brand new patterns. I've been wanting to try making clothes again, so this was too tempting to pass up.

I think the universe just gave me the thumbs up on that, as there were 33 unused patterns in the bag.

They include a few children and family patterns, but most are for women and all of those include my size.

The thing I love is that some of the patterns are for things I want to make, like aprons and pajama pants. Just the perfect bundle for me.

The cookbook was $1.99, and the bag of patterns was $7.99 (or about twenty-four cents each pattern.) With tax that came out to $10.68.

Added: I have changed the theme of the blog to a newer/simpler layout to give it a fresh look.
