I think I have been on better behavior since my glutinous tour of Minnesota a couple weeks ago. Yesterday I picked up three mugs at my local thrift shop and decided to buy only one of them. Progress? maybe.<br /><br />The cleaning & pricing party sounds fun! Wish I could go and hang out too!manateejaqhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01595230749833992569noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2966296007306432724.post-78568217554141305302011-10-25T11:57:30.642-04:002011-10-25T11:57:30.642-04:00I picked up some 70s clothes, a pink velour jumpsu...I picked up some 70s clothes, a pink velour jumpsuit, a Hawaiian shirt, and a very ruffly child's dress, and a 60s sheep skin collar.
