[QUOTE="Hound dog, post: 565989, member: 84"] Way To Go Susie!!! Absolutely LOVE those finds!! The girls and I have been having a bit of luck lately too. Well, actually, I'd call it the motherlode just due to the volume alone. easy child doesn't do quite as well because she "scans" the Goodwill or other thrift stores. I'm not a scanner, I'm a digger. Nichole learned to dig for treasures along with me. easy child usually doesn't want to take the time to dig, but even she has come up with some good finds recently. Last weekend Nichole went to our (20 miles from each of us, in the middle of our two towns) Goodwill. She hit paydirt and wasn't shy about it. She's setting up an actual daycare and needed toys ect for it. Turns out our GW had several FP farm sets and some of the other sets for 1.99 each. People/animals were packaged separate for .99 cents. For for 3 bucks she got several 30.00 FP playsets that look like they just came out of the box! And she got a ton of other things I can't remember because of our shopping trip today. lol She got an animated Santa (vintage, lovely) for 5.00, a FP zoo set, some more sets to add on to the ones she bought last week, lots of books to give as gifts, a sweater for Aubrey. Shoot........I picked up a FP farm set. No people/animals but those are easy to pick up cheap at any yard sale ect.
