Thrifty Thursday

I do much of my thrifting at stores that are connected with non-profit organizations. While I love a bargain I understand that I am supporting a good cause when I buy something there. Often when I get home and look things up on ebay I have gotten a good deal- sometimes not so much. As long as I love what I buy, it is OK to pay too much. This week I bought 2 different things that I feel a little guilty about! The first I knew was worth more than I paid...the other I had no idea!

First up is Madame Alexander's Wendy Go Braugh. I love dolls, don't need any, but she just made me smile. Someone had donated a doll collection. I saw a little British Bobbie that was priced too high -but my Hubby likes Bobbies so he was coming home with me.
Then I dug down and found her- I just knew she would be way beyond my price limit....but she was only $3.49!!! And she is perfect...she even has her shoes and tag...no box..but really!!!

When I looked on ebay she just sold for $53 . I feel a little guilty. But I love her and I can rationalize that I paid too much for him....

The second thrifty buy was a set of goblets for $4. They were purchased at a yard sale for Bighouse. This organization supports foster children in our county. I just thought I would like them in our new china cabinets. See they look pretty in there-

But they list on ebay for about $30-each!! So now I feel a little guilty. I guess I'll try to make it up this year with more donations!
