Default Re: THRIFT SHOP shopping

CIB, that's a great name. When I lived in Manhattan, I used to shop "Second Hand Rose" on 2nd Ave, all the time. I found a little dropleaf table for $5.00. Do you believe I still have it!!! And that had to be 1965 when I bought it and that's all I could afford at the time.

Count me in, cause I'm a sucker for bargin shops. I also talked to Nonie once about having "car pooling" to other places in Florida, but not too far from TV, where they have a lot of thrift stores. My brother lives in Bradenton and everytime I go there, I find a ton of great things. My sister in law and I are fanatic about shopping in these places. This isn't junkie stuff but old and in good condition, type of things that old people have kept in their houses and when they pass, the family gives it to these places to get rid of for them. I once found a beautiful antique torchiere lamp and still have it.

We'll plan these excursions when we all get to TV, Okay?
