I have a few thrifty finds to share with you. As I have mentioned before, I enjoy shopping for children's coats and stuffed animals at yard sales and I recently came home with both.
I love stocking-up on winter coats for charitable contribution. I collect them all summer in anticipation for our autumn coat drive at church. All wraps must be heavy, attractive and in pristine condition for me to consider. These are my three newest finds and they have already been laundered and are ready to go!

| This coat, for an older girl, looks like it was never worn. It was $1. |
 |
In perfect condition, this one was 50 cents.

| This London Fog with "bling" was also 50 cents and is without blemish. |
This is interesting fabric because the stripes on the flags have a slight glitter. I thought it would be good for some future project, so I snagged it. How can you beat a yard for fifty cents?!
This was my most exciting find of the day! Again, I will only purchase items in perfect condition (ideally with the tag still intact) and I won't pay more than a quarter. A woman had a box of various stuffed critters for a dime each! What?! As I began digging, she said I could have the entire box for $2. I gave her $3 because there seemed to be so many. It wasn't until I unpacked and counted that I realized I acquired more than 70! All will be donated and just imagine how thrilled the children will be when they get them.

These aren't even all of them!
It was a productive haul!
Have a lovely Monday!
