VINTAGE WEDNESDAY

i really dig vintage shops. always have. not so much Goodwill, though. it's true the great thrift shop smell runs rapant in any good will like it should... and the vibe is that as it should be. however..

what's up with goodwill's prices. not super cool to charge department store prices at a thrift shop. who cares if everything is organized and accessable with terrific matching hanging signs over each - department.

we're not here for that, but i digress...

so, we shop in local non-chain thrift shops.... which i was doing yesterday. i guess i was looking for a duel cassette player for my studio... sadly, i didn't find it, but i did find a bar table! i actually used to have one just like it. i think (if i'm not mistaken) that i gave it to kate when i had moved to tampa for the first time. i'm pretty sure it was in her kitchen when seth and i stayed with her.

anyway... i wanted a higher table. something i could lean on... just a different vibe out in the kitchen, and presto! i got the whole thing for $40.oo!!!!!!!! i'm thinking of changing out the tiles on the top for red one's... or maybe red and black checkers? time will tell...

i gave my table to jon. it was given to me, and so it only seems right that it should be put forward to someone else.

i've always found it strange to think about what you own... even the things you love... and their vulnerabilty to permanance. slowly... all things change. i supose that makes us all vintage and life kinda like a thriftshop. but it's okay, we're great deals, and in realitivly fine shape (well.. considering...)
