{a few pictures from Sun City}

I answered my cell phone the other day and my friend on the other end asked if I were having a good day. I said, "Yes, it is a really great day". Then she accused me of thrifting. She knows me all too well because that is exactly what I was doing. For me a good treasure hunt is theraputic. The best part of the whole scenario was that I had really great company, the sky was blue, it was in the 70's and and the sun was shining down. Angela (queen thrifter) & I ventured to what I call thrift store row in Sun City. It is in the heart of a place where the average age is also in the 70's (don't quote me on that one;-) so you can imagine the prospects of a great quality vintage piece.

Here is a sampling of the loot. Did you know pineapples are the symbol of hospitality? I also think the plates look a little Kelly Wearstler-ish.

How is the thrifting in Glendale? I've heard it's good.
