Slides from the Thrift Shop

My Mom and I went thrift shopping today...and we went with a purpose! August is a big birthday month in our family, so we needed to find some great items. The first store was bad...I felt like I was gonna die...too many over-perfumed old ladies running around. There was, however, a safe haven for me and people like me (i.e. tired husbands, tag-along friends). It was a whole room devoted to books. Yay!

The next store was tons better. I could have lived there. BEST OF ALL...the prices were fantastic. Holy Jumping Jackrabbits, all thrift shops need to go to this store and take serious notes. I have been to thrift shops where they have great stuff but they want a kidney or some other essential body part for it.

Here is what I purchased:

1. Paperback book
2. Spooky frame for awesome project I am doing
3. Samsonite Bag (I collect them)
















4. SLIDES!!
I got a whole drawer full!
I don't know why.
They are mostly from the 50's and 60's...it looks like the family in the slides lived at the coast. They took some vacations to Cali and Southern Oregon.
