Today, the ever-delightful
celadon_noise (hubby of
maiaarts, and the musical genius behind the "Dark Decorum", the music that is used in the Gothic Charm School videos) took me thrift shopping. He goes thrifting like I do: quickly. Sure, I can bimble around a thrift store and take ages, but my preferred method is a brisk pace, and seeing what jumps out at me.
(Yes, that's how I found the Fluevogs yesterday.)
Anyhoodle, we hit
::stops to count:: four thrift stores; three Goodwills, one Value Village.
