I am a working Mom (Grandma) who would just as soon spend my days shopping in Second Hand stores. My kids are now grown & have lives of their own so, I do have more time to do this.
Second Hand Stores have been a part of my life for as long as I can remember. I remember My Mom (Miss you Mom) taking me to every Second Hand Store or Goodwill in town. On the weekends it was Garage Sales. I actually got my one & only black eye in the local Salvation Army when I was 3 years old. Playing hide & seek.....running down the isles, I tripped over a clothes racks just to hit my eye on another. My Dad's (Miss you Dad) comment for years was that.....I'd rather fight than switch. Obviously!
Of course, at that time, & into my teens, I had little respect for second hand stores. I certainly didn't appreciate what fun she was having.
For the last 15 years I've thoroughly enjoyed it. When my kids were younger, I shopped the clothes section, and like me they didn't at all appreciate it.
Now that they've grown & I'm able to browse a little more, I've become addicted to the antiques, pottery, vintage, jewelry, & buttons sections.
In my store, you never know what your going to find. Usually.....a little of everything.
Have a great Day!
