Last weekend was like a magical omen from the thrift store gods….Jake and I had been planning to drive out to S R Harris to find some cheapo fabric to make curtains for the living room. After running a few errands we decided to head over early and try and find something to keep us occupied in Brooklyn Park until the fabric store opened at noon. Honestly, I don’t know what we were thinking…finding something to keep you occupied in the far out burbs is pretty unrealistic.
So we drive out there at 10:30, locate the place and figure we will venture off… and then this is where all th
e magic happened. I uttered the magical words ” I wish there was just a gnarly old thrift store filled with goodies for us to oogle until they open”. And then KABOOM. I look to the left…THERE IT WAS… A gnarly thrift store…filled with goodies…
We pulled into the parking lot at 10:59 I walked up to look at the door to see what time they opened, and the sign read 11:00. We waited all of one minute and then went in to enjoy all the store had to offer.
To the right is the $7.00 chair we purchased.. Its Monster’s (cat) favorite new place to sit and I plan on painting the arms and legs a nice neutral tone to clean it up a bit.
We also bought a rad big comfy, brand spanking new boxy looking black leather chair for $20.00. Normally I don’t care for leather furniture but this chair is actually perfect for our office.
Among other things I couldn’t resist the little owl salt and pepper shakers for a client who collects odd little items like that…We also got empty frames for our living room, a wicked retro blanket for the guest bed, and Jake found some shoes for $3.00. It was such a pleasant surprise and we will definitely be going back to oogle goodies!!!
