Thrift Store Finds

If you've never shopped at a thrift store before, you really must try it. It's amazing what bargains you can find.  A lot of people love to shop for clothes, since they have anything from shorts to suits to evening wear, and often items are barely worn. They also have electronics, books, toys and furniture.The only thing to know is that the merchandise can vary greatly since stores get donations in all the time and once an item is sold, you may never see another one like it.
I went to an opening of a new store today, and didn't need a thing. But I wanted to support them so I looked around and hoped to buy something. I found the cutest, most unusual little bank, and I love banks...why, I don't know. This one looks like a little carousel with painted animals on it, and was only $3. But they also had a 50% off sale going on for the store opening. So I bought it for $1.50!!!  I got it home and took the price tag off of it, only to notice the stamp on the bottom said that it is LENOX!!! If you don't know what that is, Lenox is one of the best and most popular makers of expensive bone china items! So I am thrilled! You just never know what you might find if you take the time to look.
