<p>[QUOTE="FunkeysFinds, post: 254073, member: 83"]First time hitting some of the thrifts in my new area. I've discovered to bring cash for next time. There is one store I believe will be good with some treasures in the future. A quick glance inside revealed numerous vintage and antique delights and they stagger prices according to dates; full price, then 25% off, then 50% off. This store is cash only and I wasn't prepared for that today. Next time. </p><p><br /></p><p>Stopped at a local Will and this one doesn't wrap anything - at all - much like our old one in Georgia. I confirmed with the manager I can bring in a box when I shop so I can wrap at the register, same as what I did at the old store. They have no issue at all with that. </p><p><br /></p><p>The Will had some good treasures. This store does a running auction, with interesting items. Nothing today I would bid on. And the prices were silly IMO, but it goes for a good cause. Maybe in the future. </p><p><br /></p><p>But... I did find:</p><p><br /></p><p><img src="http://imgs.inkfrog.com/pix/FunkeysFinds/IMG_20170630_130250.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /> </p><p><br /></p><p>This group includes an Emma Bridgewater Owl Mug in EXC condition, a Gien France plate, a Garfield Figurine (in one of my stores I can ask more - I don't complain!).... to the right is a nice one piece from RS Germany.
