Thrift Store Fiend

Some of you know that I LOVE to go thrift store shopping, and I am always looking for a great deal! I have also always loved Converse Shoes! I used to have a pair from High School until Brian finally said they had seen their day and they went in the trash. With summer approaching we were out looking for shoes for Max and we came across a few stores that sold baby Converse. I was so excited and actually willing to spend some money on them...that is until I found out they were $30!!!!! That's as much as an adult pair! So the other day I went on a walk with Max and saw this pair of baby Converse and couldn't believe it! And they were only one size bigger than Max wears now for only $5!, but I had no cash on me :-( So I decided to go back the next day after going to the bank in the morning, and hoped they would still be there! Sure enough Wed. morning I went straight towards the shoes and there they were! I must say this may be my best Thrift Store find in awhile!

Alyssa, it's Elizabeth, your cousin...I just found your blog through Amy. Max is so cute! I am glad I get to see pictures of him. Wish you were close by, I frequent the thrift shop a couple times a week, we could be partners...it is an obsession. That is the best deal I have ever seen with the converse, I love them!

Hey Alyssa! It's Cami, your cousin in Utah. How are you guys? Max is SO BIG!!! I can't believe he's 18 months! He is so cute! It's great to see your blog. I found it through Amy's. Anyway, love the cute shoes and I do love a good thrift-store find. However, I have found that out-of-state (out of Utah) stores have much better quality of stuff compared to what Utah has. By the time stuff comes to the thrift stores in Utah, it seems like it's been through 3 or more kids!
