favorite thrift store<\/a>, last April. That was before we moved across town. Before I could head over there every Saturday morning just to browse and always end up with a bag of lovely stuff. I’m sad to report I only get to visit once every month or two. It depends on how busy we are or if we want to visit people over there.<\/p>\nBecause a girl needs a good thrift home, the family and I have been regularly visiting shops nearby. There’s actually quite a few around here–a Value Village, Salvation Army, a few Goodwills, and then there are the ohsosweet resale shops run by various churches. <\/p>\n
The one we find ourselves visiting most often is aptly named Sunshine<\/b>. It’s a pretty small shop in a strip center. It’s small to the point of there not being aisles, but rather “roads” around and through stuff. It’s remarkably easy to navigate, though. It’s not messy and I always, always, always find some sort of treasure.<\/p>\n
We went there on Saturday and after picking up some melmac teacups, I landed in the craft\/fabric\/sheets section. It’s really 2 big utility shelves facing each other with a tension rod between them. The fabric and sheets are on one shelf and the other has boxes of craft leaflets among other discarded kits and\/or half-done projects. Anyway, I decided I should browse the leaflets. There was no sign telling me how much they were, so I went through and found about 12 that I liked–cross-stitch, knitting, bargello, etc. I also checked out the fabric and found a pretty yellow floral queen sheet and a floral heavyweight piece of fabric. <\/p>\n
I waltzed up to the counter with my loot and was informed fabric and linens were half off that day. Score! <\/p>\n
Then, I was told the leaflets were 25 cents a piece. The sweet lady asked if that was ok. UHHH YEAH. Double score! <\/p>\n
THEN, my darling husband came up to me with a rectangular box. I thought, “oh brother, what now? MORE CARS?!” but NO! It was something for me! Two different Fiskars cutters–an oval and a circle. Dude remembered me nagging about the price of them at Michael’s once. ha! They were still in their original package and there was even a set of replacement blades. All in a convenient case and for $3. Triple score!<\/p>\n
All that to say–Sunshine is officially my new favorite thrift store. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
