Life on the cheap in the Twin Cities! Sunday, April 18, 2010. This outfit includes three thrifted items: the sunglasses and Lux denim skirt (originally $65 at Urban Outfitters) from the Lake Street Savers, and the Frenchi gray t shirt from Arc's Value Village.

Wendell's Thriftblog: Gift Thrift
http://wendell77.blogspot.com/2011/11/gift-thrift.html
Life on the cheap in the Twin Cities! Saturday, November 5, 2011. Already I have failed NaNoBloPo. Hopefully no one wept at seeing I didn't post yesterday. Today I'd like to highlight two of my favorite items, both given to me by my beloved paternal Grandma D. Here we are a few years ago at Christmas:. I'm very thankful to have two wonderful grandmothers in my life! The first item is this red orange dress. Perhaps someone can help with the history of it; did my Aunt J make the dress for Grandma Diane?

Life on the cheap in the Twin Cities! Monday, May 10, 2010. The Downtown Salvation Army/"Target Outlet". Last week I made my third pilgrimage to the downtown Salvation Army. Introduced to me by my sister in law Julia several years ago, her sister Anna and I went there together last summer. Vintage Levi's would be a possibility. But descend to the basement, aka the "Target Outlet" and you will find most of the customers in the store! The home goods section includes furniture, various decor items, towels, ...

Life on the cheap in the Twin Cities! Sunday, March 22, 2009. Critters currently destroying my belongings. Hi, Critter Lovers! I hope this post finds you all enjoying the first warm breezes of spring! Unfortunately, with warmer weather comes the renewal of horrifying insects:. This 'pede was above my kitchen sink on Saturday morning. Thankfully it was only 1/4 inch long. Before we discuss critter destruction, I'd like to show off our "new" couch! Actual size, .05 mm). Could it be.a Mealy Bug? In the foll...

Life on the cheap in the Twin Cities! Monday, April 20, 2009. Spring in the Swamp: the Minnesota Valley National Wildlife Preserve part III. I hope you're doing well! This seems to be the week when most of the buds on the trees are finally opening, and the earliest crocuses and hyacinths are at their peak. Plus this flower which is my all-time favorite color:. It's called the Siberian Squilla. I didn't know that before.) I need one billion bulbs for my whole yard, methinks. We'll have to go back to see!

Life on the cheap in the Twin Cities! Monday, May 25, 2009. I decided to chronicle the advance of spring, taking roughly one picture a week from March 15th to May 8th. This view of the Mississippi River is taken from the Marshall Avenue/Lake Street bridge. Make your own animation. Finding summer employment has been a challenge! Anyway, the lead paid off and I'll be starting job training later this week. I'm quite thankful! More on that later. I'm excited that the white anemones and lily of the valley cam...

Life on the cheap in the Twin Cities! Thursday, November 26, 2009. I hope you are all enjoying a lovely holiday. We had a relaxing day with the B family:. Baby M was getting really tired at this point! What critter encounters to report? After the squirrels stole our tiny pumpkins last year, I decided to get a larger specimen as my sole outdoor decoration. Once more the squirrels destroyed my hopes and dreams:. Yuck; never take macro photos of your dirty floorboards! To summarize, I guess I feel guilty ab...

Life on the cheap in the Twin Cities! Monday, August 10, 2009. Hope things are going smoovely for you! This post is being written on a beautiful, hot Monday that finds me paralyzed with indecision about how to spend such a day. Buy new running shoes? Not right now. Clean? Maybe AND the library is closed and I'm out of books! Yesterday GH and I went to Izzy's Ice Cream. Side Note: Coleoptera contains the most species of any animal order in the world! June beetles are "chafers", or leaf eaters, who enjoy e...
