I love thrift stores.
Long before I ever thought about saving money, recycling, etc, I have loved a good trip to a thrift store.
My grandmother used to load me up onto the bus early on a Saturday morning and we’d go to the rockin’ huge town of Dauphin*, Manitoba, where we’d hit all the rummage sales and thrift stores…and then have lunch before climbing back on the bus with our treasures and go home.
I **loved** those day trips.
Now I love shopping at thrift stores because I’m cheap.
lol
I like to save money on things.
Let’s face it, I have 3 giant pretties in my pasture who can wipe out an emergency fund without batting an eye…so anywhere I can save money (and have fun doing it) is fan-effing-tastic.
Yesterday we had to go into the closest small town for some errands after a Big City trip in the morning.
I said we needed to stop into the thrift store.
It’d been a while since we stopped in, so it was time.
That’s where I saw this beauty:

Cabbage bunny!! 😍
I didn’t buy it though…
As smitten as I was with it, I couldn’t think of a use for it.
It’s a candy dish (I assume) but candies don’t last long here because I eat ’em.
lol
But last night, all I could think about was this bunny and his cabbage.
*sigh*
So today when we had to go back to town to pick up prescriptions for The Kid, I told Hubby I needed to buy the cabbage bunny.
$4 later, I have a new candy dish…with no candies in it.
😂😂😂
That’s the next purchase.
Probably jelly beans.

Dauphin at the time, was not a rockin’ town.
It was a tiny town in the middle of nowhere who’s biggest claim to fame was the Ukrainian festival every year.
Now however, it is famous world wide for Dauphin Country Fest, which draws huge name country stars yearly, thousands of people and sells out in micro seconds.
Dauphin has come a long way from the days of my youth!!
