Lost and Found – A Thrift Store Bonanza
Posted By drsao on November 9, 2008
After the Guild Meeting on Saturday I decided to try to make it home WITHOUT USING MY GPS….you know I just don’t want to get too dependent on it. Well, it didn’t work – my good intentions to get home (STRAIGHT HOME)….but what an adventure I had!
I am NOT SURE, but I think I might have FOUND the POWHATAN VILLAGE – anyway I found this cute school and just HAPPENED TO HAVE MY CAMERA and I love taking pictures when I am lost!
HISTORIC POWHATAN
Having taken a picture of the school, I turned around to leave and what to my WANDERING EYES DID APPEAR but a sign that announced the nearby location of THE CLOTHES CLOSET.
THE CLOTHES CLOSET
I had read about the CLOTHES CLOSET when I googled USED CLOTHING (I am on a quest for men’s 100% cotton shirts to make a quilt with)….. I just couldn’t BELIEVE THAT I HAD ACCIDENTALLY FOUND IT!
POWHATAN HIGH SCHOOL
Apparently I had found the SIGN but not the CLOTHES CLOSET – and I said, “SELF, it would be SILLY to get your GPS out to find the CLOTHES CLOSET when the sign is right in front of your eyes…..”
So, I turned around and went back to the first building – and then I saw the sign….THE CLOTHES CLOSET was down the hill on the SIDE of the school! YEAH! I DID IT!
CLOTHES CLOSET - FOUND
I was so excited! When I went in I saw a sign that said fill a bag…..and so I gave them $3.00 and they gave me a grocery bag to fill. OH MY was that fun and you would never guess what I got into that bag!
SO…I will tell you…..incredibly I got 20 – yes 20 shirts rolled up in there – and two pieces of fabric – and a little glass vase (so I can make a felted pin cushion flower like Catherine’s ) and a BOOK.
NOW IS THAT A THRIFT STORE BONANZA OR WHAT.
I just love getting lost…….and just for the record, while I was lost I just happened to run into TWO antique shops and one DOLLAR GENERAL! AND then…….I got out my GPS and went home…..a very happy person indeed! 
THE CLOTHES CLOSET IS NOW ON MY LIST OF FAVORITE THINGS!
