I'm Chris and I am addicted to yard sales, garage sales, thrift stores and bargain hunting in general. Visit my site yardsalequeen.com - which I started in 1996. "Smile" and "VV" (Vintage Value) are the names of two thrift stores I regularly shop at. I grew up in Clifton Park NY but now live in Lusby, MD. I also lived in other exciting locales such as Schenectady, Watervliet (NY), and Charleston, SC.

Very cool! I love the Barbie case! When I was 8 my family and I went to europe the summer of '89. We went to the Berlin wall and my Granddad paid to take a chisel and chisel some of that wall off. They still have the pieces and hopefully I will inherit it when they die because I vividly remember that. I didn't get it at the time but I feel really happy to have experienced that.
ReplyDeleteHomer Laughlin? Cool - just learned the name - would love to have it randomly come up at a garage sale.
