I got my daughter a "new" to her bike. It's in pretty good shape with some cosmetic flaws and a need for new brake cables. Cost: $10. I was actually there looking for something else.

I love thrfting, too, as well as garage sales. Just takes patience! My very best find is my "pretty room" furniture. (My boys started calling it that, it's the living room, where no toys are allowed.) For $40, I got matching end table and coffee table, with polished, inlaid cherry wood, just the right style to go with the love seats I inherited from Grandma Vivian. Not a scratch, and so shiny and pretty.Tinahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08925730745204736744noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7208986168060089190.post-84997996944251923102010-05-07T07:39:23.523-04:002010-05-07T07:39:23.523-04:00Oh, I can attest to the beauty of a thrift storebo...Oh, I can attest to the beauty of a thrift storebook section.
