I know that I have already fallen behind on this posting twice a week thing. Hoping to make this week the turn around week. Anyway I am in LOVE with a thrift store. Yeah that's right in love. I have finally found that magical thrift store that no matter when I go I manage to find some really awesome things. This is big for me. I grew up thinking you only went to thrift stores if you were really poor and that all thrift stores were dirty and smelly. I don't really know where I got that idea seeing as how I am sure I was in high school before I ever set foot in a thrift store.  Well I have been completely converted. The thrift store closest to our home has afforded me so many treasures that I dare say it is my favorite place to shop. I love looking through the racks trying to find those special housewares or the awesome vintage (or sometimes brand new with tags) outfit. I also love the character it brings to our home when I find things that can be transformed to be our style. Jose thinks I am crazy for loving this thrift store so much and he also gets very weary when I mention just swinging by to "look". But he loves me and so he puts up with my crazy antics.

I write my diatribe about my thrift store to say I made and awesome find the other day. So awesome in fact that I must share it with you guys. I love to sew (most of  you know this already) and I have always wanted  a vintage sewing table. You know the kind that the machine is stored within the table. Well guess what? I found it! The perfect 1950's era sewing table complete with a working machine. Yes you read that right, a working machine. I am so excited and cannot wait to sew something with this machine. I do however want to see about rewiring the plug just to make it more secure. Right now I was concerned for our electrical outlets.

Do you guys have a favorite thrift store? I would love to hear about it if you do. Or are you like I was and think all thrift stores are dirty, smelly, and you could never find anything of value there?
