Freebie Queen goes to the thrift shop
Friday, February 16, 2007
Oh, I really am a freebie queen - just picked up a bunch of cute necklaces/bracelets for cheaper than the dollar store at a church thrift shop that always seems to have things like that - to give to my female relations/teenage friends - even my sister, I think. Just the thing to put into a greeting card (also from thrift shops - but very nice.)
I just like just to put a little something into a card as a small gift & then send off/personally deliver something bigger later....
Strange as it seems, every thrift shop has its own personality - determined by the character of the donors - and you can find certain things at certain places on a regular basis. My local Out of the Closet is good for paperback books & sometimes has great clothes very reasonably....L.A. designer stuff tnat must come from a boutique or something...And then they have knickknack/gift things sometimes...Another even has makeup/cologne - (unopened) At one upscale thrift shop my husband has found working computers fully loaded to get to his students....
Other places are good for vintage - or jewelery - Or cards - or furniture....So keep that in mind as you wander around. Not that you can get things on ORDER at a thift shop - but if you know that there is an area which is always stocked - you can check it out on your visits....
And, I suppose, if you go on a shopping spree, going on one at a thrift store is relatively harmless....Or so I try to explain to my husband - who forgets what regular prices are for girly things, sometimes!
