adventures in thrifting

Stopped by the Council Thrift on Venice blvd the other morning on my way to work...I have a love/hate relationship with the Jewish Women's Council thrift stores here in LA.  On the one hand, I hate them because the prices are usually insanely high.  On the other hand, those old Jewish ladies have some good stuff!  I routinely find great paintings and occasionally some good pottery.  And if I'm ever in need of some sequined cruise-ship attire, they've got me covered.

Anyway this time I only had 15 minutes, but I found two Vera scarves for a buck a piece:

and this mug with a mustachioed dude on it!

I mean, seriously... a mustache mug for 50 cents.  Who could resist?
