I love resell shops and thrift stores! I dont know what it about them. I love the prices, the hunt, the vintage treasures, the oddities, the bad music, the funky carpet, the old, the musty, the weirdos, and yes even the smell that goes along with them. I can remember going to thrift stores in high school and having my older sister joking me for wearing what she called "old man sweaters." And yes they probably were older men's relinquished weary sweaters but thats not the point, there is something about finding the beauty and use in objects that others have cast off and deemed useless or outdated. Beside you never know what you are going to find. So here is the beginning post of what I plan to be a regular on this blog, a record of what I have dug up on my little treasure hunts. Some items I may part with on my etsy shop, others I will covet. So here is an awesome 1960's-70's Mikasa mid-century teapot that I just couldnt resist.
A girl after my own heart! I love antique stores, Goodwill, and all around junk stores. I guess I inherited it from my mother, as when I was little we would always go to them. As a young adult it was part of surviving. Now it is just plain fun to see what treasure I can find, altho there is much I can paaa up! I love to watch Antiques Roadshow (my #1 favorite), Pawn Stars, American Pickers, and Rick's Restoration - all great programs. I wonder if it is connected to my excitement for finding my connection to my ancestors through my geneology research?
