Last Friday I took the kids to school and I had a mommycation. I headed out to my favorite treasure hunting shops in search of little treasures waiting to be snatched up. I love this one resale shop I go to. The Woodlands is so uppity (sp?) that they don't advertise it and stick it way off the beaten path. The thing that cracks me up is that most of the customers are middle age white women who drive up in cars whose car payment would equal the rent for a family of four. There are some steals in there. I love going there and rummaging through all the goodies. I also headed to Big Lots. I don't like going there with the kids because I think they have a vendetta against moms. It is like they put toys around every corner. I guess it is just good marketing. I found some nit-picky things in there for cheap. Then I was off to my little diamond in the rough...literally...up in Conroe. The Salvation Army is next to the Mexican bingo joint and not in the best part of town. You truly have to dig to find anything of value but when you do it is a pay off. Last but not least I headed to Garden Ridge. I bought a curtain, shower rod and book from there. What's with Garden Ridge selling clothes now? Doesn't it seem a little weird. Plus they are just thrown on makeshift tables with no rhyme or reason. Drive a neat freak crazy!!!!It is slowly falling down on my list of places I like to shop.
I rarely get to go treasure hunting anymore since hubs works 6 days a week. And it is hard with two "todds" who don't let you just look and browse around. I was so thankful for my little day and look forward to the next one.
