Thrift Store Finds!
Oh, man, I am soooo sick. I have a cough that’s causing me to practically heave up a lung and my voice sounds like a chain-smoking, 60 year old hooker. I’ve been drinking lemon and honey all morning and it’s actually helping - yay.
I went thrift store shopping with my friend, Nys, so I thought I’d show you the goods! I was disappointed in some of the thrift stores because they’ve become semi-retail chain stores with prices you’d normally pay for brand new items. But still, I managed to score a few items.

One crazy Ken Done scarf from 1985 ($2) & a pink polka dot 50’s scarf ($2)

Big baggy black cardigan - snug ($9.95)

Black reading glasses. I don’t need glasses so I popped out the lenses, heh. I have an odd facination with glasses; I dig men who wear them and as a kid I used to wear a pair of red lense-less frames all the time. Maybe I was optometrist in a past life..? ($8), & a pair of cubic zirconia & silver earrings ($8.75)

My friend told me they’re like sexy librarian glasses. I attempted to do this, but I ended up looking more like this. “Quiet in my library!” *cough*
Big love,

Nice! I love the sweater! My favorite thrift store closed awhile back and it’s been harder to find good stuff ever since. Our goodwill shop is like a mini retail store as you were saying - there’s something wrong with a thrift store when you walk in and say “man! they want $10 for a pair of pants?” I guess inflation is hitting everybody hard - I used to get my clothes for a buck or two a piece max - a few years ago i got a $100 business suit and a bagful of other clothes for less than $2! It’d be hard to find that now!

Katie - Thanks, Katie! I wasn’t too sure about them but they’ve grown on me. Any song requests for the lil’ jukebox??
Chelle - Oh, god, the idea of a bag of clothes and a $100 suit for $2 is like heaven to me! lol, nice score. I’m not sure about your neighborhood, but I can still find reasonable prices in the little thrift stores tucked away in the corner. The ones where lovely old ladies serve you
They’re rare though
