Thrift Store Crawl

I got my thrift store shopping on Saturday. Despite the light snow it was a great day, not too cold, but crisp enough to keep me moving. The subway was doing it's usual weekend shenanigans so it went local the whole way to W23 st.

After getting my morning shot of caffeine laced goodness at Starbucks, I met up with the Thriftaholics and we hit the stores.

I set a $40 budget for the day and we planned to hit seven thrift stores with an option for another handful uptown.

I ended up going to Housing Works, Angel Street, The Salvation Army, Good Will, and  The Opera Thrift, the rest of the group continued on. My budget was all used up by the time we got to the the Opera thrift store.

I ended up with 4 tee shirts, 9 headbands, 4 scarves, 1 necklace, 6 fancy hair pins, (can you tell I like hair accessories) and a cool Chanel inspired brief bag.

The tee shirts are for a top secret crafting project that I'll reveal when I've collected enough of them to realize the vision. Stay tuned!

If there's a New York City thrift store you like I'd love to hear about it. I am a convert and I will be thrifting on the regular. Leave me some thrift store links in the comments. Thanks.
