So we've been very fortunate to live near not one, but two thrift stores, a GCF and Salvation Army. There are many days when I just stop in to see if I can find anything interesting. Sadly though, the Salvation army has packed up and moved to a new location on Hillsborough Street. Although this is obviously farther to drive, the new location is 10times better than the old one. The old one was a huge space and was very dark and side and a bit grungy. The new one is night and light and airy. I wonder what they'll do with the old building?
So the other day I went to the new one and got a 1,000 piece puzzle (still in a puzzle frenzy after the beach trip puzzle) and a set of new placemats from World Market. They are very similar to these, only in blue and red instead. Yesterday I stopped into the GCF that is still here near our house and found a brand new, still in the box, unopened white bookcase from target. It sells for $90 at Target and I got it for $30. It is very much needed in my sewing room. (They had about five or six other brand new shelves there as well).
Ooooh, I'm jealous! I miss living near all the thrift stores. It's not quite as exciting when you have to make a special trip to town and visit ALL of them in one day with all the other crazy weekend shoppers.
