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!
