For the love of 2nd hand shopping
This Relay for life event has different theemed laps... One of which is a "Time period" lap. Some of us in the team got to talking about it, and decided that it would be fun to do a hippie / 1960's theam for that lap.
Problem = I don't have a really colorful tie dyed shirt. So, I decided to go to mu local 2nd had store.
... It's a fabulous place!
I walked in and headed straight for the men's t-shirts. I came to a rack of long sleeved shirts... all aranged in rainbow/color order!! {glee}!! I know... such a beautiful store! :-)
As I was thumbing thought eb hangers, I came sccross a shirth that had diseptively seemed to be solind purple. It was in fact a blue, purple and teal swirl of a tie dyed shirt! I snatched it from the rack and happily noticed that it was plenty big for me. (Yes, as a matter of fact, I do like to hide in my clothes... thank you very much!) However, I thn noticed that this shirt was used to advertize for an imjectable pharmapsudical product. But, it's not like there is a bunch of ugly ads... there us only a really small logo on the front of the shirt, and a larger patch on of screen printed wrighting on the inside of one arm.
So, dispite the advertisments... the colors won me over - along with the less than $2 price tag. The shit became mine! Along with 2 other really neat, long sleeved T-shirts. Then, while looking around (because, how does one go to a 2nd hand store and NOT browse...) I found a red toille purse for less and $3. That too became mine, as I have been wanting a red purse for a long ltime.
After I was purchaseing these items, I realised that I had forgotten to look over the jewelery case. After I had paid for my current haul of treasures, I took a moment to gaze at the jewelery case as I was leaving. What to my wondering eyes did I see... a pin that was a heart-shaped lock, with a tiny key dangeling from it.
OnceI found that this adorable trinket was les than $2, I could not let it be an orphan any longer! This is a perfect accessorie for my outfits out at Renaissance Festival.
Yay me! Second hand shopping ROCKS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
