Oh, the treasures it used to hold!<br /><br />I had a pretty good weekend, with *found* treasures... a lovely excellent condition lounge suite and a lovely old brass floor lamp! All told, I spent less than $60... and I'm so proud of myself!!Tatersmamahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11991481246363893085noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1170972260275595837.post-43034432646491256832009-06-20T07:46:03.207-07:002009-06-20T07:46:03.207-07:00How cute is that?

I think we had turned into what I call a "throw away society". Instead of trying to fix things so they will work again our society just threw it away and got something new to replace it. Of course there have been those that have always taken the opposite route and held on to the old better made and fixable items. Like you said though, our economy has forced many of us to find value in what we already have. The said part of being a throw away society is that we threw away people and relationships as well without trying to fix what was wrong.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12204654300524316224noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1170972260275595837.post-68455947227653000192009-06-19T09:07:27.646-07:002009-06-19T09:07:27.646-07:00Well it looks as if you found quite a bargain in t...Well it looks as if you found quite a bargain in the overnight case.
