The implied complaint in my last post, about the lack of good stuff at thrift stores over the winter? I'm standing by it. Clearly it encouraged my local thrifts to up their game this week. I am really, really done with Thrift Store #1. The only reason I went to Thrift Store #1 today was because I had to go to the bank, and it's right across the street from the bank. I peeked inside, and there was a nice Gooseberry print Pyrex bowl. Well played, Thrift Store #1. Apparently you are following the lead of Thrift Store #2, which offered stacking Fire King mugs yesterday. Not my style, but reliable sellers. I appreciate the effort.
It also was a nice touch, Thrift Store #2, putting out that box of aqua cocktail napkins. You remembered I have just a little bit of a thing for cocktail napkins. I will not forget that.
As for you, Thrift Store #3? You knew I had pretty much written you off. I had stopped visiting every week. Sometimes I didn't come in even when I was at the store next door. But this week: kismet. I visited. You had a vase waiting.
Not a Jade-ite vase, but very pretty. And clearly from the same mold. You're trying, Thrift Store #3, and it has not gone unnoticed.
You're listening, thrift stores, and you're trying. I stand by my earlier complaint. Keep trying, though. You might just win me back.
OY, make 'em work for it! Great finds, especially those napkins.

Love those green vases and sweet aqua cocktail napkins! The thrift stores have been pretty bare with good things here, too. Happy May! xo Heather

Can you put the same bug in the ears of my local thrifts?

Fabulous vases and napkins! Please alert my thrift stores too. It's been slim pickings lately.

Ditto with Diane's comment about putting the bug in the ears of the thrift stores here, as I have pretty much written them off big time.
Loving those vases...

Oh those thrift stores that all have the same funky smell. Some days I'm not up to the challenge but you inspire me to hold my head high and be better.
Thanks for that!
