THRIFT STORE MYSTERIES: National Thrift Store Day!

So last Saturday was National Garage Sale Day, and I posted a list of Garage Sale, Estate Sale, and Flea Market Mysteries. I did not include Thrift Stores, and it's a good thing I didn't because who knew that today would be Thrift Store Day! I used to frequent Thrift Stores much more -- Salvation Army, St. Vincent de Paul's, and smaller independent thrift stores, but I've found there just aren't as many any more, at least not in my area. I know that many thrift stores sell their items on-line, too. Still, it's always fun to find a 'treasure' in a thrift store. Thrift Shops are also great places to find rare books--or just a book to read. And, as we all know, one person's trash is another person's treasure. It could be yours!  

Many Thrift Shops are also known as Charity Shops, and I always like to donate as well as buy. Still, smaller towns tend to have more thrift shops. I do have a favorite in the town of Sonoma, CA: The Church Mouse. I always find something there. So here's a list of Thrift Store Mysteries. Please let me know if I've missed any. It's not a long list, but it certainly complements my Garage Sale Mystery List. Happy Thrifting!
