At the thrift shop

[Mr. Ed]

I bought several long sleeve pajama tops, a pajama bottom and best of all a flip-over stovetop pancake maker. On occasion I find treasure.

At this stage in life a lot more goes from my house to the thrift store than the other way round.

I like to go to thrift stores also and look around and usually dont buy anything. Because I have two of everything I need and one of things I do not need.

I'm working on trying to clean out "stuff"....it all gets donated to one of the local thrift stores.

I love thrift stores and have done a pretty good job at purging my own home, so I'm very carful not to have to start the process all over again. If I see something I absolutely love I make sure I donate something the following week,
I love buying clothes that I can practice my new sewing hobby on. Sometimes I find fabric. If I mess it up I haven't lost much.

I was a devout thrift shopper before the pandemic. I used to stop at several different shops each week while out running errands.

I enjoyed it and found many interesting things to use and a few to sell.

Since the pandemic I buy more new things online.

It’s not as much fun for me but I find that it’s cheaper for me to buy exactly what I need when I need it.

I’m not completely cured. Yesterday I was examining a lift top piano bench in the trash room at my apartment complex. The week before it was an antique chestnut drop leaf kitchen table. I resisted the urge to rescue them both but it wasn’t easy!

Everyone needs a hobby...something that they enjoy doing. It sounds like you miss the thrift shops. To me, it seems like all the more reason to "go junking"....as it's called where I'm from. Have fun, do what you enjoy!

I made the mistake of trying to fry an egg, all was going well until I attempted to flip the egg and everything seeped out onto the hot burner.

The last time I was at a thrift store, I dropped off a bag of donations. My hubby went and bought a 3 iron (golf club)....for hitting walnuts off of our walking trail! LOL
