One Is The Loneliest Number

I only got one item today and I went to two thrift stores. At the first one, they had a set of salt and pepper shakers I wanted but the price was $8. This thrift store has a habit of putting Ebay prices on their items. Who can afford to shop there? I didn't stay long because almost everything was out of my price range.

At the second store, I found this little owl figure. It is only 2.5 inches tall. It was .25 cents.


There was an owl statue I debated getting. It was really heavy and probably about a foot tall. On the bottom was written K.B. '78 I thought maybe this was someone's art project and my sister convinced me to leave it there. Later I asked my son to go back and get it for me and of course it was gone. Note to self: If  you like something, get it right away otherwise it may be gone when you go back.

    I'm glad I have never been to a shop that does the ebay comparison thing it's stupid. That owl is cute though!

    Ugg..the regular Goodwills around here are like that. Prices are way to high for people who buy for themselves, let alone those trying to flip it for a dollar. I just stick to my outlet... Are you selling the owl??? I keep passing up owl stuff. I know it can be hot..but I'm thinking mostly for Etsy.
