Today I will embark on a journey, with my good friend and thrifting partner, Bethann. Yes, we will rummage, score, laugh, and thoroughly enjoy our day of attacking the thrift stores for fabulous finds. For quite some time I was able to find the most amazing dishes, glasses and little knick knacks...then, the amateurs came in, came in and moved into my little territory. I see the same funky creative man at all my thrift stores...when I see him, my heart sinks! He has similar tastes as I do. I start sweating, I scan his cart, what has he taken which should be in my cart?!? Yes, it is my territory as I have been doing this since I was 18 and living on my own. Every town I have travelled through, visited and claimed as my own, I have found at least one thrift store I can say I love! They know me, they watched my girls go from sitting in the cart, to running around the store, to picking out their own pieces and eventually to what I call the "thrift store protest". Oh yes, both my girls are now in a phase where they will not attend with me, how can that be? How can they not love this as much as I do? One day, I feel they will come around again and join me in this hunt for all things thrift, all things beautiful! Off I go, Bethann does not look for the same things as I do, but certainly appreciates the hunt as much as I do! Here are some photos of my fabulous prop room filled with many thrift store finds. Enjoy!
