kitanzi: (Least I Could Do - oh wow)
[personal profile] kitanzi
I went out for a walk this morning by myself - a habit I'm trying to cultivate, though early summer in Georgia is not the best time and place - and had a lovely, rambling walk through the overcast morning for perhaps three to four miles. I count that for a win in itself, but the real bonus is that if I hadn't had that long walk on that particular set of roads, I wouldn't have seen the garage sale just over thataway, and I would not have been able to come home, clean up, and go back with the car to pick up over twenty pieces of clothing for $20 in my size (which is hard to find in thrift shops!), including two nearly new silk suits, several pairs of good pants for work, a couple pairs of jeans, a number of very nice shirts and light sweaters for work, and other clothing to make this I-hate-clothes-shopping thrift store fan go SQUEEEE!

Turns out the nice lady holding the sale, who looks rather like my aunt Barb, had very sucessfully dieted herself out of most of her old wardrobe, and I hit the motherlode. I congratulated her very sincerely while building my pile. I can't begin to estimate the value of this stuff, other than to say multiple hundreds of dollars. Don't think I've ever walked away from a garage sale quite so happily loaded down!
