Thrift World

Holy magic wonderland.
So, for the «jump-​back-​then-​slap-​yourself because you can’t believe it’s real» total of $ 5 and change, I acquired the following:
–1 mint condition «Made in Occupied Japan» weird a.f. Great Dane in a costume painted figurine
–1 mint condition vacant-​eyed kittens playing with yarn figurine
–an old a.f. Timex ladies water resistant chrome (plated?) watch that winds — AND IT WORKS
–an extremely weird hat that I needed to wear immediately
–hilarious and enlightening conversation with the charming lady behind the counter who told me some fascinating stories about running a notorious motel near the small town when I spent a good chunk of my adolescence.
THAT IS A BARGAIN. I WILL BE BACK. Because this store just convinced me I’m now into collecting creepy animal figurines, so I have that going for me, which is nice.
The pricing seems pretty random but completely reasonable, and, honestly, I’d come here just to hear some stories from the older woman behind the counter because she is awesome.

Like other Thrift Worlds, expect ‘80s Top 40 providing the soundtrack to a large, ever-​changing inventory with higher-​than-​average prices. Still, there are regular $ 1 deals to keep treasure hunters coming back.
I haven’t found anything hear that I couldn’t live without for a quite some time, but I have found shirts, CDs, and other miscellaneous goods over the years. It’s always worth a visit if you’re in the area and have the time.
