Thrifty

On Saturday, Man of the House and I attended a luncheon downtown for a foundation we're involved with. After the event, it was still early so we decided to thrift for a few hours.

I love the element of serendipity of thrift stores. You never know what you're going to find, although I've noticed that if you are searching for something, you'll rarely see it, until you've found it. Then you'll see the object of your earlier search every time you enter a thrift store!

I did find a few objects I had been looking for-- kneeling pads for when I work in the garden, a dozen pint jars, a small jar for when I make sun tea. I like the idea of reusing items instead of buying new but even more, I enjoy the thrill of the hunt. The mall simply doesn't hold the same sense of adventure.
