Thrifting Finds

Today I did some thrifting.  I found the Poodle at a Good Will store by my Moms house.  I can say though that I really don't like thrifting at good wills.  First of all they sort by color and they don't mark and sizes on their clothes.  It makes looking there for any clothing a bit overwhelming besides the fact that I haven't found any vintage clothing at a Good Will in about 10 years.  What I had stopped at the Good Will for was a slip and they had none. NONE!!!! All I found was the poodle and a 70's avocado green ice crusher (which I bought for my in laws because they like those 70's colors).  The poodle was 4 dollars and the Ice crusher was 6 dollars so not too bad a stop.  Later in the afternoon I stopped at a Valu Thrift where I happily found 3 full slips not positive of the their vintage but definitely older than the 80's I am guessing from the tags.  I also bought  a camisole and three half slips and paid a grand total of $13.54 so again not a bad find and it was what I was looking for as we have a wedding to attend on Saturday and well last time I needed a slip they seemed to have left the building.  Have I ever mentioned that I think I have a black hole in my house?  Right now it seems to have a fondness for beige slips and black pedal pushers oh and my purple polka dot peasant blouse that I made for myself and didn't post this spring and well now it is gone into the black hole living in my house.  Well enough about that do you all have any favorite places to thrift?
