Fonda's Fabulous Funday Finds #9

Today, we're off to Leland, NC. We used to live in Leland, but now we only visit when we need to do something in Wilmington, NC. It's on the way. On this day, we hit the Leland Habitat for Humanity ReStore, The Hope Chest (raising funds to assist victims of domestic violence) and CIS (Communities in Schools) Thrift.

These are the items we found at the ReStore:

We always find books to bring home.

Misc. findings.
In case you can't make them out, we picked up some small white plastic baskets, some white-on-white fabric, Avery stickers, small cow bells for crafts and a package of brad punctuation marks.
A multi gadget knife.

A lawn edger that works great.

And, we put some of it in here!
Next are the items we purchased at The Hope Chest. We like to support them in the work they do to help victims of domestic violence. They have a few stores in our area, so we visit them when we can.

A book for Katie, a natural sponge, snowman garland, a wreath of bells, red yarn and red pompoms.

Katie decided she needed this sponge for her biology class room. I was hoping to use it to texture paint! This is larger than my hand!

"Rusted" metal snowflake garland, up close.

A test tube vase.

The following we found at CIS thrift:

 

The glass was broken, and we had an extra piece of glass at home.
 
For Katie.


I'm not sure why we purchased this Madonna. We usually are drawn to plain white AND without a baby. What were we thinking? Maybe Katie remembers?

A rubber stamp.

Older tinsel garland, for crafts.
There are several CIS thrifts stores near our neighborhood, too.

Well, that concludes our trip to Leland. For a tiny town, it has these three thrift stores plus a furniture consignment store.
