Thrift Store Hauls: Crafter's Edition

That sounds awesome! If you ever have time for a picture in the future, I'd love to see what you got. If not that's okay too; hopefully life calms down for you soon. The treadmill sounds like a great find too if it's something you'd use. My parents bought one of those flex-things with pulleys ages ago and it got used a total of once. -_- *sighs* As I predicted, because neither of them likes anything physical outside of walking.

I haven't yet but I'll go have a read now. <3 It's really okay if you don't have the spoons to spare, no obligations.

Of the things that get hit by the 'pink tax', I think organization solutions and tools are some of the worst affected when it comes to crafting. The prices on things like totes and desk organizers makes my jaw drop when I see them in the store with a mental 'heck no!' I keep my stamps in tins, page protectors / planners, or clear plastic boxes. Any inert non-porous container should be pretty decent.

Only a couple items today, but I'm pleased as punch about them. First up is yet another planner-binder to add to my stamp and die storage. It came with some interesting templates/stencils. One looks like a standard mind-map or flow chart, the other is marked "NATO military map symbols". The third (very hard to see in the picture, sorry!) looks to be some kind of size/distance estimation chart with degrees and most interestingly, a box that should be the approximate size of "average tank seen broadside at 500 meters, less gun". I can only imagine this planner had a *very* interesting life before it made it into my hands. 0_0; Cost 3$, stencils included.

The big white box though was the best find, a copy of T.I.M.E Stories in near mint condition, ~5$. The only thing 'wrong' with it is the plastic insert has a bunch of cracks. I can easily design a much better cardboard one so that's of little concern. Looking forward to going through this narrative game with my parents.

Store had a lot of scrapbook stuff that I didn't get - six or seven packs of loose paper but nothing I had to have, mostly florals, lots of pink and stripey sheets with rounded corners. They also had a good number of Stampin' Up! sets, but at 5-7$ each I wasn't tempted to grab any. Most of it was very generic and above what I like to pay for stamps. No interesting storage solutions or tools, so I imagine it was someone who thinned out their collection of least-favourite items.


I do remember the PSP, and that everything for it (especially memory?) was horribly overpriced.  *shakes head*

Ah, I stand corrected! I've never owned any of the Sony systems, nor Xbox for that matter; the shooters and racing games that were heavily promoted were never my thing, and fast moving 3D stuff tends to upset my vision after a while. I can't even follow matches of, say, Overwatch, let alone actually play them. Just don't have the reflexes. If I ever see a cheap PSP I'll consider it though! I know there were some great RPG's and other titles out there. That said I have so many games to play already, do I really need more? Yes, of course!
