Shopping Disappointment
- 6/11/2008
I stopped by TJMaxx last night on my way home. I've had a hankerin' for a while now. Unfortunately I was in for some disappointment.
I shopped their clearance section only, as usual. There seems to be a lot of newer markdowns but not many dirt cheap deals in the clothing section.
I also haven't found a really stupendous find in the shoe or the bag department in ages, as well. I have noticed that they seem to be going much higher end with their bags, so therefore even the clearance prices are more on those but still out of my cheap-o range.
On my way out of the plaza I was even tempted to stop at Ross to try to score a deal on something, anything. I was desperate, obviously!
Oh well, this just reinforces that it's going to get harder & harder to find really fine deals on brand new items. I feel a thrift store binge coming on...
Besides shopping at the thrift, I also have been entertaining the idea of learning how to transform old clothes into totally new clothes. I really dig the idea (even though it's not new exactly) of recycling to ease the toll on the earth. Plus I also have always wanted to learn how to "design".
So, I have added a bunch of DIY type design books to my amazon wishlist. I've ordered a few as well as checking a couple out from the library. I got this one in the mail last night:
It looks like it has some great projects to teach me & spark my creativity. Now I just need to go plunder the t-shirt section of the thrift! V. v. exciting. New hobby, here I come! Once I master the art of the transformation, I will be adding these delectables to my store. Watch this space! Labels: Crafting and Creating
