Warning: The following adventure is extreme in nature and not for the faint of heart.
It was all Martha’s idea.
It was brilliant – I wish I could take credit – but it was Martha’s brainchild. After spending an afternoon thrifting together in the fall, she suggested we make a day of it next time.
If we started early enough we could possibly get to two more towns. TWO! Think of the bargains we could find!
It would require lots of miles on the road – but if she was game for it – so was I. I mean really – a whole day with a good friend in thrift stores?! Sign me up!
Besides – she was driving! 🙂
It took us awhile to find a day that would work, but Angel Girl and I finally met Martha and her daughter Bethany on Monday morning for adventure.
Martha had a map and a plan. We were ready for a day of Extreme Thrifting.
Just look at those girls – already three stores in and still looking fresh! Nothing like a big sale at your favorite thrift store to put a smile on your face!
Early on in the adventure the girls decided to find something matching at each store we went to. Believe it or not – they almost did!
With two towns down, we stopped to refuel at Wendy’s. French fries dipped in chocolate frosty’s was just the high octane we needed!
We were on to new territory! Good thing Martha had a list and a GPS. Gypsy did us proud.
The weather was perfect – we had highs in the 60’s and sunshine all afternoon!
Still smiling in our fourth and final town. Yes – it’s after dark and yes – they are now wearing coats. The temperatures were starting to fall.
Note the stuffed duckies – they were still on the hunt for matching things this late in the day!
We did it! Time for stop at Chick-fil-a before heading back down the highway home.
The stats on our day of Extreme Thrifting are impressive!
We traveled to 4 different towns.
Stopped at 11 different thrift stores.
And drove over 173 miles.
But we’re not saying how much we spent!
Will our husbands ever let us do it again? I hope so – ’cause boy did we have fun! 🙂
PS – Hey Martha – I’m free next Thursday! <wink!>

It looks and sounds like you all had a lovely time together. I am so happy for you all. *smile* What a great idea the young ladies had to pick out matching things, that would make it more fun for them, and probably most anyone just going out and about. *big smile* Thanks for sharing your fun day with all of us. Sincerely, Mommy of two little blessings & so much more!
