A Trip to the Thrift Store

 

 Another wet day. We walked anyway. If rain was going to keep us from walking we wouldn't walk often between now and next April or May. After we came back we headed for the thrift store. DH found some folks to chat with while I browsed. I was looking for (and found)  a King sized bed sheet in pale gray $4 . 
It's in perfect condition too.  A few more items jumped into my cart.  The reindeer cushion cover is just the right size to fit over the cushion I had that had pumpkins on it. Having stuffed the Pumpkin one into it I might as well leave it as an early ( very early) Christmas decor.
  I couldn't resist the pretty reusable bag for .75. I can always use another one. Magazines are so expensive if bought new but at 2 for a dollar who cares if they're not this year's latest.

 

Just in time for Halloween....

 

How widespread are superstitions around the “unlucky” number 13? More than 80 percent of high-rise buildings in the United States don’t have a 13th floor, and nearly all hotels, hospitals and airports avoid using the “cursed” number for rooms or boarding gates. Most airlines skip row 13 on planes, too.  

That’s because an estimated 10 percent of the U.S. population and 14 percent of people in Britain have a legitimate fear of the number 13. (In Asia, 4 is considered the unluckiest number.)  No stats for Canada.

 

Thanks for visiting.
