Friday fun with thrifting.....
Friday, April 16, 2021
So, I thought my friend and I were not going to thrift today. He had the day off and didn't mention it so I was settled in at my desk ready to spend the day on my Mac and write and just enjoy my day. He had texted me earlier this morning and didn't mention going, so I thought that was that. He texted around 2 this afternoon and mentioned going. I really wanted to just stay at home, but I agreed to go. I dressed and went out and washed off Goontz. It's pollen season and my Goontz had a layer of yellow/green pollen all over. I got that done and then waited for my friend. He came and we went to Reidsville. He ate at Bojangles and then went to the Salvation Army store. I found a Sony clock radio for $2, a pack of Post-it note page flags, (Well two packs), and a package of pretty napkins. Don't judge me! lol We went to the Goodwill and I only found one item. It's a Jack o lantern metal candle holder that originally came from Bath and Body Works. It was very cute and caught my eye so I got it.
We then went to the Goodwill in Walkertown NC. I found a little purple jack o lantern candle holder in there. I also found a very nice little cabinet/stand. Here is a picture. It still has the letter stickers from where it was assembled and the price sticker. It was only $8 and I am not sure where I'm going to put it, but it's in excellent condition. The drawer works well and the shelf is adjustable.
It will be a nice addition to my house. I just have to figure out where I'm going to use it! We went to Mayodan after that and I only found two things. A disk holder and a sleep mask. The disk holder is a Fellows brand and it was for computer disks back in the day. It will be perfect to hold my specialty Starbucks cards. I was going to search for one of these for that purpose and this one was there so I got it. It's in great shape, too! Speaking of Starbucks cards, several I ordered on eBay arrived today! I was happy to get them. I only have one thing that I'm waiting on now and that is a Starbucks tumbler. I saw it in-store when I went to the 'new' Starbucks in Greensboro and I knew I wanted it. I decided to look on eBay. I knew I'd have to pay more for it, but I found one that was only a few dollars more with free shipping so that saves me trying to find it at the local Starbucks. :)
I forgot to mention that I found a Fossil purse at the Walkertown store but I had to pass it up as it was priced pretty high. I was short on funds. My friend got the little cabinet for me. He would have gotten the purse too and let me pay him back for both, but I'm still doing monthly payments on the Docs! We went back to Reidsville before heading home and ate at Carmela's.
