THRIFT STORE Locations

I finished this one a couple weeks ago but I work during all daylight hours so I haven’t been able to get a photo until yesterday when I messaged my partner at home and asked if he’d pop outside in a rare moment of sunshine and get a picture of it for me. The last round of templates for this pattern finishes circular, but I was able to straighten the edge of the one rounded piece and square it off by enlarging pieces from the previous round to fit. Why? The recipient, who chose the pattern, hates circles on a deeply poetic and almost spiritual level. 🤣 I had really wanted to FMQ it, but there’s something wrong with my machine as my FMQ feet no longer allow space for FMQ, sitting ...

Planning a trip to Sapporo arriving a Dec 25 Thursday afternoon and leaving Dec 28 Sunday morning staying near odori park the only current thing I have plan is to go to unique Jean store. I like to drink at clubs and bars but also want to visit some nice outdoors places too but not to expensive like a resort. I enjoy shopping. If any one can give advice places to go Like bars or clubs also shopping areas nice thrift stores too? I tried ChatGPT an itinerary and half of the places were permanently shutdown. Am a Male 23 if that helps giving places to go to

🌸 Hi, Reddit! I’m Isla!! 🌸 (21, nursing junior, full-time freckle collector, part-time chaos gremlin) 🥰✨ I finally made my own little corner here because so many of you have been so sweet in my comments and DMs asking for more of me, Foster, and our ridiculous life together. So… hi new friends!! 👋💕 Quick intro & backstory because I love telling this story: I’m from a tiny coastal town in Northern California where everyone surfs, smells like salt water, and knows your business before you do 😂 I’ve been a redheaded, freckle-covered beanpole my whole life (think human cinnamon sugar). Foster and I met freshman year when I accidentally spilled an entire ice...

I feel like this is a Charlie brown and Lucy situation. I don't want to be an over reading dweeb (again). I'm not even particularly hopeful, I'm just wondering what I'm supposed to do. These posts always feel so long once I write them out. I'm sorry. I have a long time friend, we kind of had some mixed signals a year ago. I thought I rapidly developed feelings I wasn't expecting to, noticed what appeared to be reciprocity, expressed my feelings, was told they weren't reciprocated, and then shut that **** down. I gave her space and she came back after some of her own frustrations in life cleared up a bit. She put in some work to maintain the friendship, I r...

(Author's Note: First story I've written in quite a while and my community college writing workshop didn't **** it so I thought I'd share online for some feedback as well. Sci-Fi, Comedy, Stream of Consciousness. 5,023 words.) Perhaps it is selfish of me to tell the truth at this point. Perhaps all the legends and myths about me, no matter how unnecessarily flattering, serve their purpose. Alas, I am an old man now - an old man who wants to sit in the grass and tell a story. You’ve probably heard some rumor or other, but honestly, it doesn’t matter who I was before that fateful day I went to Goodwill. I barely remember myself and care even less. What I do recollect ...

I have had the red picture of a chicken that appears to be a mix of paint and strips of printed material like newspaper. I got it 3-4 years ago at a framing shop, where I had acquired some original art and had some other works framed. I thought that it was an original painting/collage, but I wasn’t familiar with the artist. I recently went to the thrift store with my sister, who came over to help me hang pictures and stuff. While we were at the there, she pointed out a chicken painting, knowing that I like chickens. I looked at it and said “wow that looks just like another picture I already have” and took a photo - the second one attached here. I went home and showed her the red on...

I don't remember the melody, but the song is by a 2000s indie rock band. Fast-paced, catchy, and hits a nostalgic/yearning tone. The song is well-known in the indie world for sure, definitely not super obscure. I believe the band is all white men, and in the video they're quite young, early 20s. It's an official music video but feels like behind-the-scenes tour footage of them just goofing off on the road, maybe showing them playing the song too. I feel like I specifically remember a moment with them exploring an antique/thrift store or shop of some kind? I think it was shot on VHS or maybe just looks like it. Handheld footage I think. I think the song mentions a woman'...

Hi! Can anyone help me find clothes like the ones in these photos (acubi / Y2K-inspired streetwear) preferably from shops or websites (not Shein or thrifting) that are mid-size / plus-size friendly? I’m 19, 5’2”, usually a US women’s size 16–20 and wear a 40DD bra. Since i’m in LA, US. I struggle to find cute pieces at thrift stores (lots of resellers on Depop here 😭), so recommendations for plus-size friendly brands, retailers that carry extended sizes, or specific items (tops, pants) would be amazing. My price range is roughly $15–$80 per item, but I’m flexible for pieces that are good quality.

Was a couple cities away from home today, stopped at a thrift store and found some pieces that I was excited about (one being part of a Xmas gift for my niece). Had them underneath a fan in my cart. At check out, I picked up the fan and realized the other items were missing. I'm still so annoyed!

I just wanted to start with letting you guys know I love my mother in law but sometimes I struggle with the things she does and the way she acts. Just to give background my mother-in-law clearly has a shopping problem. Every week she and my father-in-law buy lots and lots and lots of stuff. They often go to garage sales and thrift stores and find lots of things on Facebook marketplace. And their house reflects their shopping problem. It is a borderline hoarder home. They do hide a lot of it upstairs but it's very obvious downstairs. The house is on the small size so they resorted to storing stuff in their garage and sheds. And now my father-in-law rents two storage lockers filled with s...

I’ve been a private investigator for twelve years, and most cases are exactly what you’d expect . Messy divorces, insurance claims, people who want proof of something they already suspect. When a woman hired me to follow her husband, I figured it would be another routine job. A few photos, a written report, maybe a court appearance if things got ugly. But the first night I tailed him, something felt off. Not in the guilty way most cheaters act, no nervous texting, no detours to cheap hotels, no obvious double life. He moved with a kind of purpose I couldn’t figure out. Every turn he made seemed intentional. Every stop felt planned. I didn’t know it at the time, but this wasn’t a ...
