Sometimes all I come across are the basic necessities and even some junk, but every now and then I stumble across something that's just too good not to post about.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01900216633662961062noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6261670119972823151.post-49053931015319050732012-05-18T19:11:12.759-07:002012-05-18T19:11:12.759-07:00That's a very cool find.

I've never really looked at anything other than the clothes in my local stores, but I'll have to check out everything at some point to see if I can find any treasures.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6261670119972823151.post-25739634508044868722012-05-18T09:59:36.855-07:002012-05-18T09:59:36.855-07:00I agree, Tiffany!

In truth, I wanted to purchase every one of those used journals and just sit down over the course of a day and read through them to see what kind of fascinating world and creatures and storylines this uknown author created. But alas, with each journal priced at $2, I couldn't afford it. Oh well. It was a great experience anyway.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01900216633662961062noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6261670119972823151.post-76911123339773751872012-05-18T09:44:48.683-07:002012-05-18T09:44:48.683-07:00Wow, that's pretty damn cool.

I love the idea that the books I buy, the clothes I buy, have a whole mysterious life story attached to them. For instance, I bought a necklace from a thrift store yesterday. When I look in the mirror, I always think, "This is such a beautiful necklace. I wonder who wore it before me. How did the clasp thing get broken? Why did they give it away, in spite of the clasp?" I like the things I have to already have stories. I like the idea that me taking it is continuing on an abandoned story, breathing life back into something that was near death. <br /><br />Leave it to me to turn shopping into some philosophical, writerly conquest, lol.Tiffanyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07637471374013879840noreply@blogger.com
