Problem is that the boxes fill up and stack up and fill up space. I am getting better with the fresh trifted but its the backlog of previous thrifted that overwhelms.<br /><br />- JoyJoy@aVintageGreenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16788328980114729976noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2966296007306432724.post-5934028806146168712011-05-16T15:45:54.022-04:002011-05-16T15:45:54.022-04:00great finds! yes i did a bit of thrifting! found a...great finds! yes i did a bit of thrifting! found a great lamp that i hope to post next week!<br /><br />xo,<br />cbcbhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14621143547156651330noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2966296007306432724.post-57881394879578465392011-05-16T13:26:44.797-04:002011-05-16T13:26:44.797-04:00Oh man, I'm jealous of the Chinese print - it&...Oh man, I'm jealous of the Chinese print - it's not a dragon, but probably a demon. Such a great find, and not something I'd ever expect to find.<br /><br />My finds are posted on my blog, but I got a piece of Nemadji pottery (absolutely stunning, it takes a lot for me to buy things just for display, maybe I'll put a plant in it?) and some prints of a comet from 1996. Random. Just the way it should be.paparattihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10325054530069038714noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2966296007306432724.post-55979107803557610432011-05-16T13:18:53.860-04:002011-05-16T13:18:53.860-04:00Van - I love that whale!

I think you're right that incorporating the idea into my current blog is better than starting a new side project. Pretty much the last thing I need right now is another project.

At first it was fine, but then I'd start looking at sales on Craigslist, or see garage sale signs in the neighborhood, and it was awful not going! Perhaps you will be stronger, though. I think it's highly possible. :)Bethhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11503825770135277046noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2966296007306432724.post-28094533177705926442011-05-16T11:28:23.572-04:002011-05-16T11:28:23.572-04:00Jessica: That panther ring sounds amazing!

Just posted on latest clothing finds.<br /><br />Also, I keep coming across things I think other bloggers would like, so am buying those as well. I have been fortunate in that various people have sent me things too - so that stops me needing to go thrifting for a few days!Lakota [Faith Hope and Charity Shopping]https://www.blogger.com/profile/04247624645636227130noreply@blogger.com
