I love thrifting. We found this amazing thrift store in Lakewood that I try to go to once a week. There are so many great things I have found at this store. I have found some amazing vintage fabrics (a new love of mine), a retro cookie jar, a pair of Seven for All Mankind jeans, some faux Birkenstock clogs for Blake, some retro Pyrex bowls like these, a wonderful wool blanket that keeps me warm when I work at 5:00 in the morning, and today, I found some great children's' books. It's like a game to me as I quickly dash to my favorite places in the store where I have found the best treasures. I often wonder what the other patrons of the thrift store are looking for....is there something on the shelf that is worth a ton of money and I have no clue? Are they looking for something they might have lost are maybe something that reminds them of someone who is now gone. I just love thrifting. Not only is it good for the environment (ahem, recycling), but it is good on my bank account, and I am entertained by the other thrifters at the same time. For those of you who do not thrift...give it a try, you might be pleasantly surprised.

I do not remeber the name of the store...it is at Sheridan and Evans on the North West corner. We would still love to get together with you guys sometime soon!
Yes--so would we! We have no visitors and trips coming up...maybe the last weekend of January? We love all ethnic food...or just get together and hang out. Shoot me some dates and let's make it happen!
