I buy my cloths at a Thrift Store....just love wearing a dead mans shoes...

Anyway the Thrift store I go to buys returns and out of season items from Target Since I am Big I need to wear over sized stuff..So when I found Shorts for $5 a pair I bought a bunch..buying a similar pair on-line would cost at least $18 a pair.

At the end of last summer I bought a Sun Tea Jar for $1....this summer I have been making a gallon every 1 1/2 days...

I used to frequent a Thrift Store in Monrovia, CA that had some really, really good stuff. I bought a small 17 Th century Delft Vase for $100.

But some of my best stuff came out of a consignment shop on El Toro Rd in Lake Forest, CA

I have a piece of art pottery that is unsigned but has all the hallmarks of being by a major AC Ceramicist by the name of Adelaid Alsop Robineau. Also a AC wood floor lamp. the Lamp guy I took it to in Covina, CA to be rewired and shaded said. "As it stands it is worth $2000, if you could find out who made it $20000." and that was over 10 years ago.

Lst night I was watchin Storage Wars..seem that they have gotten a bit more real about how hard it is to make really good scores...my feelings are why not just go to Estate and weekly auctions..In early June I went to pickup some BBQ Charcoal at a Firewood place here in LV. It being Friday and being out there anyway, I decided to stop in and seee what the Public Auction place had for its weekly Saturday sale...I saw 2 identical Cowboy made of wood Shooting Carts (350-400 each) . I went back picked them both up for $178 out the door. Went out to the Clark County Shooting Range posted 3 pictures with description on their various Buellitin Boards. Two weeks later get a call and sell one for $250. If and when I sell the other one for the same money I will have made a return of 181% on my money...
