I have been a fan of shopping at second-hand stores since I a was a kid - always seems like a treasure hunt!
My Mom and I bought my first real piece of furniture - an antique roll-top desk missing the roll-part - at a junk store in Englewood, Colorado when I was about 13, and I learned from her how to refinish furniture using that desk.
Just this afternoon my Mom and I set out again to find treasure at the thrift store.
We were not disappointed!
I could never in a million years bring myself to spend the kind of coin this designer label demands, even if I had that kind of coin!
But now I own a dress I can swish off to the ballet in with style, thanks to the second-hand store!
Thanks to Joke for this week's drawing challenge. For a look at more treasure from talented artists around the globe, go visit her artistic blog.
