Even though I have mountains of laundry and house-cleaning to do, yesterday I decided to do an early morning thrift run.
First stop, Village Thrift. They open their doors at 8:00 am (!), so I was there shortly after.
Found THREE really cool decorative wood shelves (not book shelves, the kind you'd stick a Ming Dynasty vase on): $6.90
silly looking wood carving of a guy with a crown on his head: 90 cents
two pairs of shorts, one with original tags: $11.80
silk top: $2.90
two sets of vintage cufflinks (one set Scottie dogs, the other set horses): $5.80. These will probably sell for $40 each.
VERY cool 1960's silk dress: $5.90
From there I went to Super Thrift. Super thrift was not super, I didn't find anything.
Then on to Bargain Thrift Store #1 (the one in the dumpy warehouse-ey looking space). Found a boxed set of Yma Sumac 45's: $2.00
Then Bargain Thrift Store #2 (the nicer one). Found a 1930's metal tray hand-painted with parrots: $3.75
1960's prayer lady coffee holder: $2.00
Next, Whosoever Gospel Mission. The original store is open again. (For those not in the know, the building houses homeless men, one of whom set the place on fire a few years ago.) The store was very crowded, and there was nothing of interest anyway.
Last stop of the day, the Sal.
a pair of much-wanted shoes: $5.90
two crazy cool 1950's bow ties: $3.60
1940's men's lounging jacket: $1.45
