#Thriftstore #PoodlePatch #Poodle #DogPatch #ThriftstoreFinds
This is a Poodle Patch my LDR Bf found while thrifting. This is pretty cute and I wonder if this patch was mass produced or Etsy made. I would put this on a skort or a black T-shirt.
Image isn't mine but my bf didn't mind me posting this.

Today's Goodwill Outlet haul. Not a lot, only spent $8, but it was after a dentist appointment and I had some time to kill.
Caramel M&Ms plastic container (had to dump out some sort of chemical crystals from it) where the inner clear tray rotates 90° and slides then out a bit so you can share get a bag of candy out. Bought because you never see Caramel M&Ms stuff.
3.5" floppy. Status: Blank, formatted, never used.
Foley aluminum jar funnel for canning (or anytime you need to fill a Mason jar easily), vintage. Could not leave it behind.
VHS headcleaner. Actually need one of these. Wet/Dry method, no bottle of fluid inside but it's just isopropyl alcohol anyhow.
DVD+RW. Status: Blank, unformatted, never used.
8mm videotape, 120min. Status: Unknown, giving to my friend who has the equipment (either VHS adaptor or an 8mm player).
Spindle of blank CD-Rs and DVD-Rs, also for my friend.
Three "hello" cards with a Bakelite telephone on the front and this one typewriter "thank you" card. With their envelopes.
Two rubberstamps made by Tin Can Mail in ziplock bags. They have price stickers from wherever saying $11.99 on them and no sign they were ever inked.
Carlson & Sullivan "White Chief" 8ft tape measure, vintage. Appears to work, I have only pulled it out 2ft, but it could use a little cleaning/lubrication because it rolls a little hard in places.
USB-A to MicroUSB-A cord, 1 meter, still in package, obviously from Dollar Tree or the like. If this works for data, I will be happy because I recently had a similar cord's micro plug snap right off.

daytripping: Tacoma
I had no plans for the day so I wanted to go to some thrifts I haven’t visited lately. Deseret Industries, my usual Friday haunt, had to wait this week.
First stop, the Goodwill Outlet. Today was a remarkably slow day there, though there was a large crowd waiting for new bins to come out after they’d swarmed all over the clothing bins and picked them clean like starving vultures. Today’s haul included a DVI cable, half a rail of staples (it was a no-name brand of stapler), a rubberstamp of a smiley face with a clown nose, two screwdrivers and a pair of needlenose pliers, three clipboards for work [you’re welcome, Wade] and two items we’ll get to in a minute.
Second stop, the St. Vincent de Paul. I didn’t buy anything but did take a few pictures, so in the near future you will see the four foot tall portrait of Hillary Clinton and a century-old stereo image viewer that was less than ten bucks!
Third stop, Rainbow at the Lakewood Discount World. I miss when they were in a derelect minimart on Steilacoom Boulevard a decade ago, honestly. Anyhow, plenty of excellent things and the signs are great as usual (on the bin of makeup they got from estate sales and storage lockers: “Do Not Use”), but nothing I had to have, though I will be sharing a “live, love, laugh” sign that was in a league of its own.
Fourth stop, Thrift Center. Usually this place is my go-to for frames, but I don’t recall seeing any. And several hole punches but no staplers. This place was the last Bargain World in the chain at one time, and the prices are great and they have multiple colors of percent-off tags and several discount days, but after they became the second store of another local thrift I hardly ever see anything anymore worth the effort.
And home. It was raining so no yardsales, unlike last weekend when I didn’t realize there were yardsales to invade so I stayed inside on the computer.
So the two things I found at the Outlet that are worth talking about:
Four unused stamped envelopes -- seriously, I recooped a third of what I paid today by finding Forever postage just sitting in the bin -- and a 48-page sales circular from 1996 from Home Depot. I’ll be comparing prices at the hardware store I work at to this and crying since Covid-driven inflation has caused a lot of products’ prices to rise, even double, in the last two years.
