I'll admit it, I've been avoiding the thrift store. Have you seen how much stuff I have? And now that the MTSS Corporate Offices are relocating to Austin, TX (That's right folks, we've been bought by Condé Nast and have to move the works.*), there is so much to pack up you wouldn't believe it. But, I love to thrift wherever I go, and I had to sample the stores of Madison. Jessie and Dave took us to two fantastic thrift store, Savers Thrifting Department Store (which she had been talking about for months and did not exaggerate in her tales of its greatness) and the Saint Vincent de Paul Thrift Store.
Fantastic Savers, The Thrift Department Store--everything was SO organized, it was bizarre.
Blue Heaven dish for Molly--a new pattern she is collecting.
Jessie and the cute creamer and sugar I strong-armed her into buying. Lord knows I don't need another set...
While some may disagree, I do have a modicum of self-control. Case in point, I passed up the BEAUTIFUL set of Taylor-Smith-Taylor China with a silver, striped border. Ugh. Why? Whyyyy?
Stop rhyming now I mean it! Anybody want a peanut? Seriously, nice piece of Frankoma behind--even in Wisconsin.
Barb-a-Licious in her new, fur coat.
Always a bridesmaid...
Stoooool, everybody loves a stooooool. (For Katie, who was in need.)
Mitchell found this great shotglass set which matches a set of flutes that Barb owns. Score.
*Seriously folks, I've accepted a job at the Jack S. Blanton Museum in Austin, TX which I will start on September 29. This will probably be the last post for a few weeks, but rest assured, I'll be back and I'll let you know.
