Thank you for the best laugh of the day.<br /><br />Good luck with your budget. I try but constantly get overcome by temptation. I do manage to sell more than enough to cover what I buy, but there comes a breaking point, both in the budget and in the space in my small house. Sigh. What a bummer. It's such fun to find deals.

The three things I regret these last few weeks are the 2 ebony mini boxes from France and the 60s cow horn worn by an Indian chief, all bought at an estate sale. They are all nice, but not sure of the resale value in them, profit wise. But, I did find a couple of books of valentines, the kind you use to have to hand cut out, from the 60s at the Goodwill savage yard.<br /><br />All my spending money for thrifting, overhead comes directly from my sales. And, I occasionally pay myself too.osovictoriahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09755459416529761318noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2966296007306432724.post-55809115868670836872012-01-09T11:22:54.155-05:002012-01-09T11:22:54.155-05:00I tend to think the whole kitschy mushrooms from t...I tend to think the whole kitschy mushrooms from the 1970s tend to resemble penises in general.
