Normally I am not the type to get outwardly excited about anything, especially shopping. Calm, cool, and collected, that's me. But today I had one of those experiences in the thrift store that got me all sweaty, weak and shaky.
What could have done that to me?
Good thing I was already down on my knees digging through the lowest shelf, because I got so shaky I might have fallen over. It seemed like slow motion as I reached over and grabbed it. And of course from that moment on I never let it go. I think I had a hand cramp from holding on to it.
As I carried it up to the register and I passed a lady carrying the Old Towne butter dish I had debated buying and put down (too expensive at $9.50). I imagined her jealous looks as I paid my $4 for my new prize. (Don't ask me about the crazy thrift store pricing; I'm not arguing one bit!)
So it made it home safe and sound, just needed a little BKF and magic eraser to clean up the scratches. It came out beautifully and now I just have to find a place of honor for it!
I can't believe you found a new dot in good condition at a thrift store! Congratulations! I would have freaked out too!
ReplyDeleteThank goodness for BKF and Magic Eraser! You have it looking brand new. Congrats on a phenomenal find!
ReplyDeleteI've never gotten lucky at my local thrift store- there are too many pickers where I live! Fabulous find!
ReplyDeleteYay! for you! We need stories like this to keep us enthused about being in the thrift store trenches sometimes.
