We have a Goodwill Weigh & Pay that is even low on merchandise. And the regular Goodwill in town has high prices on too many things. Their only saving grace is that they have a color tag sale every week for 25% off and any left on Sunday of that color are $1. <br /><br />I hear there's a Goodwill W&P in Denver if you are ever there. Now whether or not they have anything vintage is unknown. However, the one in Phoenix is always busy and always with lots of stuff. All the left over merchandise at the regular Goodwills in Central Arizona go to the W&P. It can be a mad house but somewhat fun.<br /><br />And since I'm not doing the vendor show at our local art retreat in Scottsdale in August, I don't look for vintage stuff. Good thing since there's not much to find. I've collected a lot of tablecloths and vintage laces that I'm now using on my own creations. <br /><br />Keep up the great blog and Etsy shops.Marriannahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17169652569732642349noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4916839371504934589.post-62528283306298059142013-02-23T19:03:37.174-07:002013-02-23T19:03:37.174-07:00Same story up here in Canada.

I'm originally from Montreal, Canada and that skyline could be from there also!!

I was thinking the same, not as many finds and the prices on clothing has gone up quite a bit-I buy allot of clothing-cottons, wool, silks, etc for my sewing craftskathyinozarkshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01644138355524729156noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4916839371504934589.post-81932863422548317352013-02-22T21:06:41.634-07:002013-02-22T21:06:41.634-07:00All our thrift stores seem to be for-profit enterp...All our thrift stores seem to be for-profit enterprises now.

Isn't it sad when families part with old photos? I would love to have black and white family photos of my family. A friend was telling me he a while ago he saw a skip full of furniture, junk, etc and loads of photo albums...(probably from a deceased estate) he looked through them and also felt sad that someone's family was throwing out all those memories.Samihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06467163627586022816noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4916839371504934589.post-52174633106201452322013-02-22T11:19:59.402-07:002013-02-22T11:19:59.402-07:00What you lacked in volume you made up for in quali...What you lacked in volume you made up for in quality - great finds! I go through spells like that, too. Sometimes I think it is weather-related. People not wanting to get out and drop things off in the crummy winter weather or being too busy with other activities in the good Summer weather.<br />Love your postcard!Kathyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15277091224169007300noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4916839371504934589.post-40541433382050213212013-02-22T10:22:58.197-07:002013-02-22T10:22:58.197-07:00
