I found an ArtPrize t-shirt and Carter's pajamas for Tillie and I found a Zutano cardigan for Teddy. Then I started looking at the dresses. Something bright and colorful caught my eye. There were 4 vintage Lilly Pulitzer dresses. $1.99 each, sizes 4 and 5. Oh my word, they're the cutest, retro-est, awesomest ever. Even Tillie said yes to them.
Some of them need a little work -- the yellow bears need a little stitching in the waistband and the green cats need some work on the hem. The pink/orange floral had some discoloration to the lace at the waist, but I'm hopeful that the sun will lighten it.
The elastic needs to be replaced on a lot of them too. My guess is that they're from the early 70s. I got Tillie to try on the two size 4s. Man, dresses were shorter then! They're going to be crazy short when she wears them next year.
I have been LOVING Goodwill lately. Have you thrifted anything good lately?

Seriously. Which goodwill do you go to?! I have NEVER found anything worth buying at goodwill!
These were from the one by Woodland. Usually I go to 52nd & Division and during the summer Rockford. The Jenison Goodwill is crap. I will say that the one by Woodland is more expensive than Kentwood.
I've heard the new on in Cascade is nice, but I went there this week and found nothing. My friend Laura(the one from high school) has good luck at the Alpine and Standale ones. I've never been there.
Those are great dresses!
