We went there Christmas shopping two weeks ago, because everything *I* want is vintage!! I have the most amazing collection of vintage bowls, but I have a rule; I won't pay what an item is worth. I bought a Wedgwood pitcher recently for two dollars, and it's worth twenty. I compiled a complete collection of Pyrex Primary Colors bowls one piece at a time for about twenty bucks, and the set is worth about eighty. I love thrift shops and antique markets.

The thrift stores aren't too close to where I live but while I was in London recently I hit up the Oxfam shops for UK chick lit/women's fiction and bought at least 9 or 10 books for half price or less. I was pleased. Didn't even think to look at anything else. ;) What an amazing find in that painting Wendy!

Years ago, we bought a painting of a bucket at a jumble shop (as my mother calls them) in Asheville, NC. I think we paid a hundred dollars for it in the frame. It looks like a Wyeth and, the artist has gone on to become very well known. It's hung over the fireplaces in our living rooms for over twenty years now and is still one of my favorite things we own.
