PIC OF THE WEEK: Hobby Train

I am sure you all know by now how I love shopping at thrift stores.

From children's clothes to my skirts, to hubby's suits, to furniture and decor, to toys, etc.

I was in every single thrift store in my little town for a whole week and a half 

(literally since school started; 

that's why Jethro knows every single thrift store there is in Ajax 

because he has become my shopping buddy).  

I only had one mission -- 

to find a nice wingback chair that I can reupholster for use as props for my photography.

Sadly, I ended up buying stuff other than the elusive wingback chair 

(which I was able to find last Friday, but not in my town, but in Oshawa).

The many treasures you could find at these thrift stores are innumerable

like this hobby train I got at Goodwill.

$19.99 (no tax at these thrift stores!)

A big box full of hobby trains complete with tracks, trains and controller.

I had to call hubby before snatching this deal just to make sure it's okay with him.  

And with no hesitation, he said yes.

We only had to buy $23 worth of add-ons to make this train set work. 

 That's less than $50 for a hundred dollars worth of hobby trains!

Do I hear a choo-choo from you?

Louder!

Choo-choo!
