I found a quaint little thrift shop the other day in who knows what little town I happen to be in. I got lost, really lost. I was trying to go to Cedar Key here in Florida and somehow got off course. While wandering around the town I spotted a handmade sign claiming to have second hand items in front of an adorable vintage home. I couldn't resist. I just had to park and go in. I was pleasantly surprised at what I saw. It was set up inside like an old fashioned store. Or at least what I imaged an old fashioned store would have looked like. It was absolutely charming, reasonably priced, and contained the most interesting items. They had different venues set up throughout the house each one more interesting than the past one. One of them was a wedding venue, it was beautiful. There was much attention paid to little details. I walked out of there having purchased quite a few things. I love this type of set up. I can only image that they would sell more items set up this way. I can only hope that I will find it again someday. Darn, I should have asked the clerk the name of the town.

It is not often you see people taking pride in what they do and paying special attention like this.

@pgiblett you are absolutely right. Many times you will find things just thrown together in a thrift shop.

@pgiblett you can always find the unexpected little item that you didn't know you just had to have.

@LeaPea2417 I did. I obtain a book that I was missing out of a series. I found a wonderful vintage cross stitch pattern, an adorable little teapot and a couple of decorative pillows.

@AbbyGreenhill I sure don't. I don't remember hearing it mentioned and unfortunately I didn't ask. I think it had Second Hand in the name.

@BettyB I only remember seeing one other shop set up in this manner. It was up north near the Canadian border and the items were new.

@JohnRoberts I know what you mean. One time I found a saucer to match my dish pattern. I had broken the saucer a couple of years before and thought I would never be able to replace it.

It sounds very charming. I fell in love with Thrift Shops after I worked in one.
