OMG... Do I Look 55?!

I have many fabulous thrift stores near me, but this one particular store always has great items! There are four things I don't like about the store, but still so worth going to... 
1. They are a cash ONLY business.
2. You have to wait a bit for a MUST have shopping cart.
3. NO fitting rooms.
4. You so NEED a shower after leaving!
Let me tell you what happened the last time I was there. I don't know whether to be sad and cry or just be thrilled with the money I saved! They have a senior discount day, and what that means is...Anyone 55 and over, gets 50% off their entire purchase! So... Guess who received that discount?! ME! I did not ask for said discount and the cashier did not ask for ID, she just gave me the 50% off! I'm going to go with the idea... she was doing me a sweet favor and saving me money. NOT holy shut the front door... I look 55!




A fun cigar box full of sewing notions...


That would be my "In mint condition Dooney & Burke purse for $25.00. A very cute pink chenille lamp shade, adorable little plates I'm going to break for a mosaic project, vintage sheets, a pasta maker I'm going to use for clay one day...


Another plate to break, leather Born clogs for work, old wooden thread spools, two Tommy Hilfiger ties I have a project for...



A cute concrete bunny for my front porch...


More pretty china to break into little pieces...


Set of 4 vintage juice glasses, a cute floppy straw hat for the beach...


  

Ps...I'm 49 years old, not 55! Ugh...

  1. Even in your profile pic, you don't look 49. Maybe 40, but that is pushing it. :)
