They're all washed and folded and waiting for the scissors.
Now to get though what I'm working on so I can start cutting!!
The prices on these at the gray building was $2.99 each, and being a Saturday everything was 50 percent OFF!! So they almost paid me to take these lovely masses of fabric.
I love the thrift stores. My dh is 6' 5 as well, son is 6'6. Impossible to but clothes for either. Usually have to order them. But i sure love my BIG boys.

DH told me the other day that with the cost of clothing going up, he wants to start shopping at Goodwill and SA before going anywhere else. That is a big shift for him. I also found a new one next to Joanne's...someone from the Seattle area opened one in the northeast. Have not been able to find any fabric at them but did get a Martha Stewart sheet set for $12.00 (new). Its a trip but will go at least once/month and start looking at the kids clothes
