Thrifty yet trendy

It was beautiful sunnny day, it was a good day to go out and explore the neighborhoods. Since the kids were out of school for the winter recess break. I decided to tag them along to my quite addicting hobby , which is thrift shop shopping. Every one was on board and was very excited to the idea. I found this 2 great thrift store in Astoria. What I love about this stores are that they are only a few blocks a way from each other. It was easy for me to walk and go to the next thrift store if ever I did not find any intereresting old or new treasures that I consider a rare find and just a good steal from the rest.

The Goodwill store has been replaced Steinway Thrift Shop.

This goodwill store was newly opened. You can find most of their items brand new and still in there original packages. You can notice that most of their  items came from a major retail store. If your are still looking for those Missoni pumps and maybe some few Missoni items, that cause madness in this store last fall. You might to want to visit this goodwill store.

Two (2) brand new J. G. Durand France vases at the price  $6.99 each from Macys Department store. They still have the bar codes on them when I found them at the Salvation Army Super Thrift store.
