Thrift shop


Changing Hands is an appropriate name for this place. In the past several months it has been a church (Tabernacle something or other), a rental store (where one could rent just about anything), and now in its latest incarnation, a thrift shop.

  1. I like this photo because of all the different signs and messages. I know the place looks a little tawdry but you'll never know what you'll find there.

  3. Next, the Jacob and Lois Anne Photography Superstore. Your one stop shopping center. Has sort of a ring to it. :-)

  4. It might make it as a thrift shop with the way the economy is right now. Besides people looking for bargains, other might be looking to sell stuff that they wouldn't have bothered doing before.

  5. From a church to a thrift store??? You wouldn't see that in France :-)))) I like the idea that things can change so much and so fast.

  7. Ah, the subject of reincarnation. Very interesting. A thrift shop I suppose is what characterises the times best.

  8. Very appropriate. 'Spiraling down' could be another choice...

  9. Often 'thrift shop' is the last stop on a shop's journey of usefulness. But I love going into these places, don't you?

  12. @ Don & Krise - I kinda like that! Nah...sounds like too much work. Retirement is in my bones. I'd rather wander around and take photos!

    You could come down here and set it up, though. I could work for you part-time?

  17. I love these places. Unfortunately, the rent is so high in Boston that we no longer have such curiousity shops.

  20. I'm with Leif, a tattoo parlor any day now or wait..... a tanning bed? Oh I forgot, you're Florida, no need for that. Well whatever, changing hands it will be over and over I'm afraid.

  21. I like that name! Hopefully, the church found a more suitable buidling? We have had SO many thrift stores open up shop around here lately, I was just about to do a post about it. I know they won't all survive...too many!

    Speaking of thrifty, I have a new toy! Come see! :)

  25. I am drawn to thrift shops like a wasp to a soft drink. I cannot pass one by, and would definitely drop in here.
