It's funny how you are more likely to find the perfect thing for someone thrifting than by going to the mall! Awesome finds, you must have great thrift karma.
My daughter's friend has an uncle who manages a movie theatre. He started sending her the old posters from the lobby. She just gave my daughter two of the posters from the last Harry Potter movie & had a Juno poster too, but unfortunately had just given that one away to someone else. Hopefully some more good ones in the future.
I love shopping at thrifts. You just never knwo what will turn up just when you need it. I do have great luck thrift shopping. When myson turned 21 he waned a beer mug as a gift. A week before his birhday I found one in my favorite thrift shop, still in it's plastic wrap with all the tags attached. It was $8. I figured it was good karma or the universe or something. I boguht it. Gave it to DS for his bday. It was a heavy one, mostly gray with cobalt blue decorations of T. Roosevelt and a Germanic looking someone or other. It had an inscription in German that DS translated commemorating a treaty or something signed between the US and Germany during TR presidency. It was marked Made in W. Germany so that dated it to before the Wall came down and German reunification. I just thought it was an interesting mug and DS used it and we were putting it in the dishwasher. Six months later I saw a similar mug in an antique and collectibiles store selling for $175. I went home and told DS not to put it in the dishwasher anymore. He just uses it on special occassions now.
Iguess I have been thrifting and yard saling so long I can spot good stuff when I see it.
