Folding Ruler

Beware the word "upscale" when it comes to thrift stores.

One of them sells items like these as 'antiques' for between 12 - 20 dollars.

I found this one at a very good antique shop for 4 dollars.

Surely I could have done better at a garage sale, but for a bit more money, I'll pay to be close to a bathroom.

Ah, yes. I'm back to thrift shopping.

Something I DID learn from not going thrift shopping was how much I enjoy not having to look for places to put things.

I found this great stack of books. Don't tell THGGM, but I already have some of these. It seems that I cannot stop buying copies of The Messiah when they appear for 25 cents. This one is my third. Soon, I'll be able to start a choir.

Not pictured are a Mickey Mouse crib sheet, two carved wooden candlesticks, a very nice cut glass plate, and two dresser scarves.

Oh, and the small white pitcher pictured below.

It felt good to be back.
