I am such a sucker for cheap, free, give-a-way bags. Ugh must stop collecting. I am now trying to just take a picture and not take bags home with me. Here are a few that are super deluxe. I did not bring these home – the pictures will have to due.

Recent Thrift Scores – Vintage Boxes and Books
As a Sunday morning treat I thought I’d browse through my recent goodies that I have picked up at thrift stores. I have found some real gems this past month. All goodies for me – not for re-sale. It is nice to give to one’s self every now and again! So here they are in no particular order.

Love Them / Hate Them
I hate that I love Anthropology so much. How many times have I heard “I want to live there” yea me too I want to live inside an Anthro too but I hate them for finding all the good stuff and for marking it up quadruple the price. I love all of the old feely vibe but I hate them for making me love them so much. Look at these seriously cool things. Anthro – I hate you. All the delicious wire stuff reminds me of a Ben Shahn drawing – I love his work.

A rusty wire castle - I'd love to get that - oh but it's $1,500. Again - hate you!
