I didn't find anything amazing today, nor is this a great picture, but since there are some readers who have expressed interest (and indeed, to keep me honest), here's the yield from tonight's Bins trip.

In this photo, you see:

• One patchwork sari-esque throw, from World Market, $2. Now resides over the back of the leather chair in my living room, for the purposes of deterring cat scratches on leather.


• Two yards of green and white toile fabric with a ship/island theme, $2. No good reason for buying this.


• Two small (antique?) tin angel candle holders for a Christmas tree, $0.25 each


• A small metal meat tenderizing mallet for Mark, $0.25


• Four handmade items of children's clothing--a smock, a jumper, a reversible vest, and an apron, intended for my small friend Y.'s Christmas present, $1.25 each


• Four new cotton print Cost Plus napkins, always useful at my house (we go through lots), $0.50 each


• Two new looking and I think handmade U Florida Christmas stockings. These are going to be filled w/ homemade treats and given to my Florida alum neighbors for Christmas, $0.50 each


• A pair of new looking Old Navy wide leg jeans for me, $1.25


• A sleevless Merona no-seam undershirt in army green, for me, $1.25

Total spend, including sales tax: $16.51
