I Found a Little Teapot, Short and Stout!

I had a bit of thrift store success today. And, I didn't even stay long in either one, nor did I look at even half of what they had.



THGGM had Baby Boy asleep in the car. THGGM is tiring of thrift store shopping. First, he creates a monster (me) and then he bows out.



Anyway, I refuse to get a cart, so that limits what I can carry myself. I did manage to hold in my hand a box of clear glass Christmas ornaments, two Ideal's Christmas magazines, three crochet books, the 1940's dessert book (see below) a small stoneware creamer, a glass jar and the cute little teapot in the picture.

Had I grabbed a cart, I could have easily filled it. But, I would not have trusted myself. I am a calm, peace loving grandma. But the majority of thrift store shoppers I came in contact with today - boy howdy - if I had a cart I would have been tempted greatly to ram into them with it, while screaming like a mad woman "SHUT UP! SHUT UP! SHUT UP! WOULD YOU JUST SHUT UP!!!"

Do people not grasp the idea of an 'inside voice' anymore?

Seriously.

No...they don't! We ran into our share at our favorite thrift store yesterday, too. But I found a spiffy jogging stroller to take Dylan on walks! SCORE! :-D
