Consignment & Junk

A couple of weeks ago, I headed south on the Parkway....you Jersey folks know what I'm saying. I wanted to check out a consignment store (it shall remain nameless) that I had been looking at online. They have really lovely things like this


Great accent pieces


This Altar table made me weep


A pair of perfection


The lines stared to get blurred between consignment and new retail. I was not exactly sure which I was looking at. You certainly could not tell by the price. 


It all felt like full retail to me. I haven't paid full retail since I bought my wedding dress.


The staff had a bit of an attitude. In all fairness, if they summed me up as "not their customer", they were correct. 


This was definitely vintage and fabulous. 


After I left the overpriced "used furniture" store.....I stopped at another place I had been checking out online. It was the polar opposite of this shop

It was a warehouse that has "Saturday's Only" days. 
When I see pictures online, I have expectations in my head. 

I did not expect Bi-Polar-ness


Stuff stacked on stuff, piled on more stuff. 



Some people enjoy this level of digging.....I might, on a warmer day. It was freezing, and I wanted a latte.


 I was starting to feel claustrophobic. 




 Really, you think there is a resale value on these pillows? Can you say bed bugs!


I tried to keep an open mind, but I forgot my Purell.





 As usual...I'm out! Do you shop in places like either of these? I have decided that I am somewhere in the middle. Today, I am off on another CL adventure. I have a really great video for Video Sunday.

Have a great weekend!
