When you're shopping at Target or the mall, you often have something in mind to buy. You're looking for facial cleanser, socks, a new vase or some dishes. You comb the store, and while you may encounter something that isn't on your mental list, you most likely look at the things that are within the parameters of your search.
Thrift shopping is slightly different. While I firmly believe that you can make requests to the universe to have certain objects delivered to a thrift store near you, it's necessary to remain open to what you may find regardless if it is on a mental list or not. Things appear that fit a collection, a gap in a set of dishes or are usable for something you didn't even know you needed.
Over the holidays, some friends from Chicago were visiting and we had a little thrifting excursion. For a while there were five of us, and then later just four. Shopping with a large group is always interesting and while we were all courteous with one another and pointed out possible purchases, there was some jockeying for position. Even with this intense thrifting competition, everyone found something that they loved and was perfect for them. Its always fun to watch people find love, especially at the DAV.
