Thrifting

My spell-check is objecting to my use of "thrift" as a verb, but as I'm sure many would agree, its the only appropriate way to refer to the act of spending an obscene amount of time pilfering through other people's old discarded treasures. (whew, run on sentence, to boot!) It also happens to be be a favorite activity of mine, mostly because I get to fantasize about how to re-purpose old teacups and one day having the largest collection of milk glass in all the land. And most importantly, after all this is said and done, I usually leave empty handed (you may remember me explaining this shopping practice before). Such a trip happened last week and I happened across this enthusiastic sign which reminded me why I love thrifting in the first place. Quirky shop keepers and their equally quirky tags.

I must say, it was a pretty cool bar.
