You all are probably going to laugh at this, but I love it. Pure,vintage thrift! Do you know how much something like this sells for on Ebay? Around $10 + shipping. I got it for $2.99. Its in mint condition, I don't think its ever been worn and its got to be as old as I am (vintage 70's LOL). It totally reminds me of something my mom or maybe my grandma would wear. Definitely something Carol Brady would wear, LOL! 100% puuuuuuure nylon too! Its like wearing your own sauna around the house. I don't dare wear it in the kitchen, good heavens, I go up in flames like a piece of charcoal! Too bad I don't use hair curlers! Until I work up the nerve to tackle that vintage robe sewing pattern, this will have to do.
The entertaining book is from 1969. The pictures are just great! Folks sure did know how to set a colorful table back in the 60's!! LOL! The Home Ec book is from 1937. I paid $3.00 for it. This is my favorite buy of the day. I just love this little book. I spent most of last night reading it. Its just swell! I was kind of surprised to find several recipes that I'd like to try and there are some sewing instructions, complete with photos that I know I'll use.
100% silk Ann Taylor cardigan sweater for $1.99 - 25% off. The flash washed the color out on this one. Its much more a cadet blue color than the grey it looks like here.Didn't find what I was looking for at all. I need a little lamp to put on a table in my "reading corner" of my sewing room. Better luck next time! I did enjoy the afternoon. The sun had come out and it warmed up considerably. I got to spend a couple of hours with Son#1, who is turning 18 on Sunday. EIGHTEEN. When did that happen? I still can't believe my baby is going to be 18.

Sounds like you did have a nice thrifting day. I love that robe. I used to have one similar to it that my mom made me when I was 10 yrs old. Okay, now I'm feeling the age...lol. Thrifting is so much fun. I often wonder how come people don't realize what they are giving away. But that's okay, that just makes it our treasures.
My son is only 14 but he's like 4 inches taller than me. How can that be? But it's like I tell him, no matter how old or tall he gets, he'll always be my baby. He of course just pretends I've gone temporarily insane :)
I love the better homes and garden book..it's just fabulous!!
