    I like that artist--excellent score!

    The thrill of the hunt plus a rock-bottom price wins me over every time. I adore thrifting.

    I hang out at thrift stores and have to severely curtail my “i might need that some day so I will buy it now” impulse. I go shopping for the specific flower show coming up (household wares) or the specific season and size I am (clothing) and I do not stockpile for the future.

    I do allow myself to buy metal pieces from the housewares area to use in future flower show competitions as they appear on the shelf store if truly unique. I remember going back 3 times to look at a metal thingie that I finally ended up buying, and then later won a major award with.

    Edward Hopper is a great find. One does not know where you will good art even great art. I am reminded of the man who brought in a painting of a farmer that had been in a basement in San antonio to the "Road show" on PBS. It turned out to be a Diego Rivera painting from the 1910's worth a very large amount of money! Bicyclist
