Things have to go out if stuff comes in I've promised myself (but hey it's 'myself' so I can cheat if I want too). Love the grapette bottle and those white planters. I haven't been finding much in the thrifts when I do shop and EVERYTHNG is so expensive! <br /><br />hugs, LindaLinda @ A La Cartehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16356471099319932835noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15117059.post-84632915258407381582013-04-09T14:39:21.762-05:002013-04-09T14:39:21.762-05:00I haven't been up to getting out the past coup...I haven't been up to getting out the past couple of weeks.

So I stop going to any for a few weeks. Then I get the urge to go again & find great underpriced stuff. I decided a few years ago, that "vintiquing" is like being addicted to gambling. Because each sale is a gamble of your time & gasoline. You win some & lose some. And when you do win, look out, because you can't wait until the next weekend for more sales - it truly is a sickness. I do not resell -all I buy is for me & or for gifts. I try to go to sales only in older parts of town now. Although in the fall, I shop them for Christmas gifts. I have scored great new never-used items. I try to always shop on the 50% off day.<br />I do just the opposite at the flea mkts. I get there early on 1st day. I shop the dollar tables. I found a 3 for a dollar table last month & scored stuff that would be much higher on etsy/ebay... & I want to pull the lever on the old slot machine again with my time & gasoline....

I got so aggravated that I left before I looked at everything. So annoying! <br /><br />Love the baskets the best. I have a weakness for old picnic baskets too. They are useful for storage so that is how I justify having so many!<br /><br />Have a wonderful week,<br /><br />EricaThrifterSistershttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07534524822325441476noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15117059.post-53575108221421147802013-04-09T06:27:16.387-05:002013-04-09T06:27:16.387-05:00I don't like it when people follow you around ...I don't like it when people follow you around and talk at any kind of store!!Jillhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06272811081912620854noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15117059.post-55328666374733214382013-04-09T06:09:22.494-05:002013-04-09T06:09:22.494-05:00we still are cold so no sales here yet it is good ...we still are cold so no sales here yet it is good to go along with you.<br />Cathyacorn hollowhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10503414190541111706noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15117059.post-36884398766668244022013-04-09T05:13:48.404-05:002013-04-09T05:13:48.404-05:00Thanks for taking us along with you - as usual you...Thanks for taking us along with you - as usual you found some great things.
