Hey Nellie, I was just going to see the new thrift store where
Julie and Beth are volunteering, wanna come along?
No thanks, I have a sewing project I want to work on.
OK.
...you know where Julie and Beth are volunteers?
You mean that old junk shop?
It's not junk! You can find all kinds of great things!
Oh, OK, we'll go just to say hi to Julie and Beth.
Hey girls, want to go thrifting?
Sure!
What's thrifting?
Come along and you'll see.
Hi Julie!
Hi Molly! Hi Madi!
Hello, I thought I heard your voices.
Hi Beth!
Beth do you think this would fit Amy?
She wanted to be a princess for Halloween.
I think it would!
Hey what a pretty dress!
Hi Emma, I'm getting it for Amy.
Well, we're here. Molly thinks there is good stuff here?
Just look around a little.
OK
You didn't tell me there were toys!!
Hey, look at this! Skyler loves Lady bugs!
Look at these great Halloween decorations!
Jess, look over here.
Wow, look at this camera, it looks brand new.
And look at these hippos for my collection.
Molly can I get these for Martin?!?
Sure! That's very thoughtful Madi.
Wow, Molly thrifting is so much fun, I never knew!
I'm glad you came Emma.
LATER That DAY
Layla, look! Madi found a princess dress for me!
Oh, it's beautiful!!
Skyler look what I found for you!
Oh, I love it!!
Hey, what's this?
Surprise Martin! I found them at Mercy House.
The place Beth and Julie work?
Yes, it has so much neat stuff.
Wow, 2 Harry Potter books and an R2D2!
I want to go thrifting next time!
I'm glad to see that the girls have changed their minds about thrift stores. They are the best!
ReplyDeleteI thought you might like this post. Yes, Emma and Jess really changed their minds about what thrifting is all about. Martin has already told Molly he definitely wants to go with her next time.
ReplyDeleteIt's probably a good thing we live on different coasts, we could get into a lot of trouble thrift store shopping together! At least it would be cheap though. ;)
ReplyDeleteSO true! We would be a thrifting force to reckon with! Hehe

ReplyDeleteGreat story! Thift stores here don't have many collectibles. Once in a while you get luckey, but it's rare.
That's true here as well. But I did get lucky finding my Crissys! But that is just once in awhile. I still enjoy the hunt though. : )

ReplyDeleteAre you going to start using your Crissy dolls in your photostories?
That is so funny! I had just published my latest update when I saw your comment!
