Can't help but wonder if
anyone gets the same kick
out of what I tend to think
of as alternative shopping.
One of my greatest loves
would be proper antique
stores. Alas, pocketbook
doesn't seem to extend to
that kind of shopping . . .
but, I still enjoy the
occasional look-see.
I do get quite a kick out of
Goodwill stores. Most of
them are organized, clean
and above all, interesting.
I tend to only look at the
pretties, as my mother
used to call them. I make
an effort to only pick up
older items that would fit
in a 135 year old cabin.
Once in a while, I find a
specialty shop, fund-raiser
type, that I just fall for . . .
and fall for is exactly the
right term; make no mistake.
We slipped away this morn
and visited a couple of places.
I found a few of such fun
things. Thank God I only go
once every month or two.
Otherwise I would be broke.
Love me a good garage sale.
I have a sister who truly rises
to the occasion. She gets up
early at the weekend, makes
a list from the adverts and off
she goes. She has some finds
that must wow the gods! I'm
tempted to theft every time I
visit her. Good thing she has
a great sense of humor.
Sooooo love me some x-mas
alternative shopping!!!
