I f=go to thrift shops at least 3X per week.

I do the regular ones - Sally's, Good Will, Trumble country municipal park, A small store located e=with in the mall. I don't all ways have the money, but when I do, I spend a while there.

There are two rather upscale resale shops in my area "Clothes Mentor" and "Uptown Cheapskate". I know they are chains and they are a bit pricey, as thrift shops go. But BOTH always have something that I want.

I bought @ Clothes Mentor - 1. jeans, that fit perfectly and would be around $100 in new. 2. A 1930s style dress. 3. a retro halter dress.

At Uptown Cheapskate - 1. An American Eagle sundress 2. a pair of Michael Kor's boat shoes. 3. A pair of butter soft ballet flats. 4. Ray Ban Wayfarers in tortuous shell.

At the flea market - 1. a late1950s Fenton relish tray. 2. A Viking Glass vase-in trancelucent and frosted gold gold llllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllll llllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllll llllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllll llllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllll llllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllll llllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllll llllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllll llllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllll llllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllll llllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllll llllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllll llllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllll llllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllll llllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllll llllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllll llllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllll llllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllll llllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllll llllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllll llllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllll llllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllll llllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllll llllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllll llllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllll lllllllllll

Aunt Bee's Delightful Dessert's cookbook (of Andy Griffith Show). Normally wouldn't buy this, but BF and friend are excited to be going to Mayberry festival in Mt. Airy this month and thought it would be a cute thing to get that they can go through at some point.


I'm just going for the ride, not a Andy Griffith fan.
