What a whirlwind of a trip! My new friend (hopefully) and I went to a yard sale here in Sono first & then to Suffolk to a Goodwill, Salvation Army, Sisters Thrift, a Book Sale store and a yard sale. I barely spent any money at all (we're talking less than 8 bucks here) and still came away with plenty. I bought an itty bitty Lego kit, a crochet baby blanket, square porcelain plate, a wallet, a kids' sleep mat, a big pencil case & a bunch of magazines, plus a few other things. The store with the book sale was by far my favorite. I can not wait to go back. Everything there was insanely cheap, my magazines were 10 cents a piece! And look at the size of this place! A little slice of heaven, I tell ya!
Now onto the things I didn't buy, no worries though it was all things I couldn't use. At the Salvation Army there was a lovely mid century modern-ish desk or so I thought. Closer inspection showed me that it was a sewing desk complete with a hidden sewing machine. It might have been nice to bring home had I the spare $50 to spend, room for another desk or the ability to sew.
At Sisters Thrift Store there was a chest dresser in a tobacco color that I thought looked great. Unfortunately the store wanted too much for it. Though it looked brand new, $189 is entirely too much for a thrift store to charge. On the other end however there was a Lane cedar chest for $69. While that is more than I would like to spend it seemed a much more reasonable price. I have course have no room for a cedar chest especially this one, this sucker was a big one, tall and long. I couldn't get a good picture that didn't wash out the rich color, but at least it does show the detailing in the wood.
I am anxiously looking forward to going back to Suffolk
