So I guess not buying new has translated to not buying anything.  Since my St. T's trip I have not bought anything.  I looked around, but not at used stores.  However I am planning a trip to Omaha where I will be going to Bigwheels to Butterflies and a used bookstore.  It will be fun!  The city wide garage sales in David City are soon too.   Those are always fun and last year we got some amazing deals! 
I really want to get into repurposing things and making my own this and that.  It is hard to find time and space.  But I am confident that the time will soon come.

St. T's and the first trip...

Jett and I headed out Friday to my fave thrift store.  I love St. T's because it is super cheap and really awesome quality.  The this and that room consistantly has things I want.  When I was super broke I knew I could always round up a few dollars in change and buy myself a little something.  It is where I find all my hideous sweaters, and where I take things I no longer need.  So I was excited to visit it, especially since it was new merch week. 
We get there about ten mins after they open, and OMG  was it packed.  There was no room in there at all, two cashiers, and huge lines.  This thift store has three rooms and they were all full.  I was so bummed my secret caught on!  This was not the place to be with a 18 month old, so we grabbed a few books and left.  I really want to go back when it is less packed. 

This was a great way to ring in the not buying new year.
