After breakfast one morning, I told our friends Robert and Betty that I wanted to go into Thrift City a new thrift store in that shopping center.  Robert asked, “What is Thrift City?”  My reply was that it was like a Goodwill store, but that it was bad.  “Oh,” says Robert.  “Then it is a Badwill Store.”  The name stuck.  Now we say we are going to Badwill.  It really isn’t that bad, but you have to look through a lot of bad for a good find.  Still it is the hunt that excites me.  Here is my latest find.

This is a nice print from an Art Shop in Charleston, South Carolina.  Just wish they had had another one.  My blank wall (pity that I would ever have a blank wall) needs a bigger picture or two pictures this size.  I am still on the hunt.

Warning:  That is the trouble with shopping at thrift shops.  No returns!

Check out these latest finds also:  Bottle-$3.99, Black Vase-$1.99  Funny, both are from Pier 1, but I found them in different thrift shops.  I buy on spec.  Someday these will be the perfect…  I know.  I’m sick.  I just see the potential and can’t pass up a good buy.

Happy hunting.  Would love to hear of your finds.
