Latest haul from local DAV (lucky me)


Visited our local DAV thrift shop this morning and wow - I found the neatest items - all things that I have been looking for to work with another project, etc. Can't wait to redo the neat spring hat - this will look great on my front door AFTER I add plenty of accessories - it will be dashing, to say the least. You might not see them too well, but I picked up four almost new leather looking chargers - and I've been looking for some table accessories in yellow to do a small table scape for spring fling. The best book on sewing projects, etc. was available for $1.40 and a great book our fine state - Virginia was picked up for $1.25. Too many items but my mind has been whirling all afternoon as I ponder on what to do first - but you can bet - I will post my finished project upon completion. If you are not shopping at your local thrift shops - you are missing out - it's your best option yet and the money spent stays in the community.

  2. I think it is neat that you saw the hat and had a vision of how it would look on your door. I would be thinking of how it would look on my head and then pass it up. I think I lack your creative gene!! Love all of your pretty yellow pieces and can't wait to see what you do for Spring!! :-)

  6. DAV is located on South Main Street - on the right after crossing the bridge near the hospital. It's on the RIGHT before you get to DCC. Happy Shopping!
