| vintage white 'hobnail' bedspread |
 |
| It pays to be patient when 'thrifting' :) |
Today was 'date' day with Mr. Mac. We were supposed to go to the hardware store (hey, it's raining;) but decided to stop at a few thrift stores on the way. My favorite hangout was having half off the entire store .. so that was the first stop. A few more USA made vintage diner pieces were picked up (plates and bowls @ 2 for 25 cents and 2 for 50 cents :) .. afterward we ventured to the Goodwill and I spied a hobnail (double) white bedspread. Impressed, I checked the tag .. it read 'Dog Blanket' .. $1.99. What? I had stumbled on a rack of older bedspreads that the store thought would make good pet bedding. Well, I checked the bedspread over pretty well (no fleas;) .. just a few small surface stains near the top edge. After treating the spots and adding a smidgen of bleach with the blanket in the washing machine .. viola .. a perfectly good spot free bedspread .. with just a few minor snags. A similar spread was priced at $58 when this bed was added to our guest room. What do you think? Is it a keeper?
