Seems I have little girly hands with long, tapering fingers. With most men's gloves, if they're long enough, they're much too wide. I'm not too proud to try women's gloves, but they always look so girly.veg-o-matichttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10063037378554820697noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4736209304130286623.post-85131032158083467292014-01-30T23:06:42.117-05:002014-01-30T23:06:42.117-05:00I lost my leather gloves this week too.

Not great, but not bad either. <br />As a buyer, I like ebay--I get a lot of stuff there.

This may be true, but I haven't seen a huge influx of stuff into the stores, Maybe they're just sitting on it somewhere.<br />I know thrifting has its ups and downs, but sometimes I just get so impatient! Which, unfortunately, often leads to "Empty Hand Syndrome" and leaving the store with stuff I don't really want!veg-o-matichttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10063037378554820697noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4736209304130286623.post-40928299953926982812014-01-30T09:32:13.086-05:002014-01-30T09:32:13.086-05:00The soup looks delicious!

It sucks when you expect stuff to garner a nice price and then it doesn't because people can't see how awesome it is. : ) Hopefully two people are watching the CH and will get nuts when the auction gets close to end. That's what happens to me every time I bid on a CH. EVERY DANG TIME!!!

Hopefully when spring finally rolls around, people will start spring cleaning and think to themselves 'Isn't it time I got rid of this doodad and thingamabob that is collecting dust?' and off to the thrift store it goes.<br />At least, that is how it is for me, Its too cold where I live to start dragging stuff to the local thrift store. My donations will go when winter is over, and hopefully donators will do the same.

It was a little weird to have to walk past all the bikinis to get to the one rack with four pairs of very sad, leftover gloves.veg-o-matichttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10063037378554820697noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4736209304130286623.post-22667552594958803962014-01-27T12:03:54.368-05:002014-01-27T12:03:54.368-05:00There is a store near my house that sells those pi...There is a store near my house that sells those pig statues, among other ones. I wonder who would waste their money on those.<br /><br />Yes, tried to buy gloves in January before. Very frickin' hard! <br /><br />Can't wait to see what you've bought on eBay. When I was buying on eBay I had the same habit - bidding on stuff I kinda liked secretly hoping someone would outbid me.Sir Thrift-A-Lothttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15632635224161216813noreply@blogger.com
