In our small town, we have three charity shops. Vincents (
St.Vincent de Paul) and two Good As New shops. Each shop is dedicated to a cause and within walking minutes of each other, Can't resist the going rate for books, 5 books for €1. We usually pop in once or twice during the week to check and see what's new. We're searching for a small lamp and a chair. You never know!
We did pop in to Vincents this past Friday and spent a grand sum of €3. There was no
chair or lamp, but Shari found a pair of polka dotted pants on the euro
rack; we picked up 5 books; found a strainer, a perpetual
calendar and a lighthouse candle holder we
saw in the window..

ReplyDeleteWe have a few here in Bergen, and every week I try to visit all of them at least once. I am looking for the Vinyl records and across the last two years I found more than 350. Do you have some vinyls in your shops? Your shop looks nice... Greetings from Bergen
ReplyDeleteRecycle and reuse - wonderful!
ReplyDeleteHooray for you! I'm always on the prowl for a bargain and applaud your finds.
ReplyDeleteI enjoy thrift stores. I dropped off some goods at Goodwill today and shopped for a few minutes. I always check out the dishes, figurines, and art work.
ReplyDeleteI like charity shops, and have found some nice unique useful and interesting items there.
