Itchy

Winter is not the best season for a junker. No shows, yard sales are few and the thrift stores are low on inventory. Yes, it is a great time to curl up with a warm blanket, interesting literary morsel and to surround yourself with various fuzzy beasts but what we really want is to be out there on the hunt.

I admit it. I miss the early morning searches for yard sales (Please do not tell anyone about this. I really don’t like mornings.) Sorting through the finds at the end of the day. I miss the big community, organization or church sales. Waiting in line, scoping out the treasures through the windows and talking to the people in line.

Maybe that is what I miss the most. Talking and visiting with friends. How did they think the sales have been? Find anything good or interesting? Anything coming up? It’s the little local network.

It will be sometime for things to get jumping here. In the meantime there is the internet and magazines to tease us. Doing research and starting this blog (which will hopefully soon turn into its own website) to distract me. It doesn’t quite scratch the itch but will have to do.
