HB, OK, don't want to jeopardize your potential purchase! Good luck with it & please let us know how it goes. ;D I've never heard of Tuesday Morning ... quick, quick, quick .. what am I missing? In answer to your question, I've found that most consignment stores sell furniture and a few special knickknacks. I think most people rely on trusty old Walmart for silverware, starter dishes, sheets, towels, etc.. You can get used toasters and coffee pots at garage sales, but it is pretty inexpensive to buy them new at Walmart. I haven't had any luck at all with garage sales .. but then I don't line up at 7:30 am either.
Golfnut: Dee the golf-cart detailer is a she, and her partner is a he. You get two for the price of one. They are quite professional and have tons of options, I was impressed. They will do the entire cart for $65 and come to your house!
So far at consignment shops we've purchased: A king size rattan bedroom set, a sofa bed and coffee table for the spare room, a dining room set, and for the living room a loveseat, sofa, coffee table, entertainment unit, two pictures, bananna plant, and more. This has taken 2 1/2 weeks of constant shopping. I'm at the point now where I am reconsigning stuff that I've bought there because now I've found something I like better. I'm glad I don't live with me, I wouldn't be able to stand me. >
I start drooling when I drive up to a consignment store and see a new truckload of furniture. In my real life, I hate shopping, so this sudden lust for other people's furniture has me baffled.
The Fire Dragon returns in two weeks, then we'll be calling everyone under the sun to try and make friends and have some fun. Right now I'm trying to finish up the shopping.
I promised the mutts an afternoon at Doggie Do Run, away we go! Sure wish we could get there by golf cart.
