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.

Shopping in Historic Annapolis
I spent yesterday shopping in historic Annapolis, Maryland. Annapolis is a quaint old city, chockfull of historic landmarks such as this red and white lighthouse. It's also a quaint old city chockfull of Lexus's, Range Rovers and Jaguars.
While shopping, I ventured into a Whole Foods grocery store for a the first time. Loved it. I am not a particularly healthy eater, but I do love a store that gives away lots of free samples. It's not a store I can routinely shop at (since its too far). Did buy some organic Santa Cruz lemonade for $.99 a bottle and today at Food Lion saw the exact same item for $1.50 a bottle on sale.
Also did some clearance shopping at Toys R Us (since Jacob got a gift card for his birthday). And also went to Bed Bath & Beyond and used a 20% off coupon.
Had lunch at Red Robin. I had signed my DH up for their email club so we used the coupon he received for a free birthday burger. His birthday is coming up.
Well I am looking forward to the Kenny Loggins & Edwin McCain concert tonight. At least the temps have cooled a little (in the 80's, not 90's) so that is good. I stopped by the concert venue today and scoped out where my seat is.
p.s. When I said the lighthouse was historic...I meant freshly historic. Like from 1990 or so. It's a fake lighthouse in a shopping plaza. Gotcha!
Like your blog. I'm an old garage saler myself, but very new to blogging. I would love your comments on my very new blog.
ReplyDeletewell if I was to comment, my comment would be visit yarsalequeen.com not that other site - haha.
