Thrift Store Finds and Never Minds
You never know what you’re going to find in a thrift store.
That’s part of the fascination that keeps me coming back. Sometimes what you spy is just plain
funny and you scratch your head and wonder who owned it…and why.
Is that George Washington crossing the Delaware? On a pair
of shorts? OK, then….
Wandering through a thrift store can be like therapy. You laugh, you feel nostalgic, you feel
gratitude, and every now and then, you just may find something that speaks to
you.
Like this sweet basket for my bike. Only $2.90. Now I can run to the market
and get milk.
Or these beautiful, hand painted glasses jars. 99 cents
each. From their marks, I tracked them down to Hazel Atlas glass company, which
went out of business in 1964. They are listed on Ebay for $99 each. Maybe some
day I’ll sell them, but for now, I bask in their beauty and my hundredfold score.
Not to change the subject, but is that Fat Albert on a pair
of jeans? See my point?
Happy thrifting…
