So I went rummaging yesterday. Not through someone’s garage, but I’m looking forward to that, too! I went to the St. Vincent de Paul thrift store in Green Bay yesterday. Wow! It was busy. Because it was my first time I don’t know if it’s busier than usual, but I was definitely surprised by the crowd. Surprised, too, when my NEIGHBOR spotted me! Said he makes regular trips looking for GOOD finds. Then on the way home from school another NEIGHBOR said she had gotten a bed frame there this week. I learned Tuesdays are the best days to find new stuff.

I almost walked out with an armload of silver trays because of today’s “quirky crafter” segment. I wanted to build a jewelry tower. It would have cost me about $2. And.. it would have been one-of-a-kind. But I left empty handed because I was a little overwhelmed and I was running out of time.

I’ll definitely go back. I saw a relish tray that would make a great catch-all for jewelry.
And a white glass vase for my daughters “hair pretties.”
All for just pennies… And NO ONE will know but me. (and you)

Happy rummaging!
