While I was in Ohio for Thanksgiving, I went shopping at my favorite place, the recently reopened Village Discount Super Thrift Store. I bought a paisley belt ($.99), a cozy cable knit weekend sweater ($1), a striped wool Pendleton sweater ($2.99), and a hand-knit vest ($1.99). What I did not get was this home decorating book from the ’70s. The binding was completely busted, and at the time, its price ($1.50) seemed a fortune. Of course, I’m regretting my non-purchase.
