Thrifting and Estate Sale Scores, and an amazing story
It has been quite a while since I showed some of my thrifting and estate sale scores. It was a fruitful autumn season, LOL! There is a new auction house just south of Brevard, and the attendance isn't up yet so prices were really low! Plus there is a new thrift store in downtown Hendersonville …
