The bad news: One of my favorite thrift stores is going out of business. The good news: Everything in the store is 60% off. Between that and another thrift store, I came home with a lot of great stuff. I bought four new drinking glasses for under $1.50. I found a high-quality dutch oven for $3 and a cool 1970s mug for $.75. But perhaps best of all was this beautiful upholstery fabric:

According to the tag, a yard of this stuff goes for $156. I bought three large samples for under $2.

Close up on the detail of the fabric.

I’m thinking these might become my new placemats.
