Winter Summer and in Between! Part 2





I would like to talk about buying bags fill with all kinds of stuff at the thrift store.I dont know if all second hand stores sell bags but if the places you go to does then lets talk about it.I love buying bags fill with all kinds of goodies but sometimes there are things in a bag that you dont want but what if that bag has that one item that you like or there is something interesting you see?Well first look at the price of the bag ask your self is it worth buying this bag?Let me say this to you buy it if you like and keep the other things to give away or use it to swap with someone who collects or likes that item or items.I have bought bags many times with things that I already had and I really didn't need anymore but I found someone who could use the other stuff,so that bag was worth buying!!!
There has been times I bought a bag with toys and in it was that one retro,vintage item I liked and for the price of the bag I can say it was worth it!!!Same thing for cards in a bag,the card on top may be a modern new card but in between those is that very old vintage card and lets say the bag cost 3 dollars,buy it cause that card can cost more all by itself.
Have fun searching through the bags and may you find lots of treasures!!!!

Found your site from greanbeanbaby--now I must add you to my RSS! I love finding new blogs :-)

I wish the thrift stores around me would have grab bags/fill-a-bags. That always seems to be where people find the most incredible treasures!

I love the grab bags too! :) I've got my young child some really great wooden toys, vintage sewing-notions too, to name a few. I love peeking through them to see if there's anything good, and then getting all excited when there is.
