Oh, Monday. I had a rather exciting weekend and morning. Not all the excitement was good, but c'est la vie, right? Saturday was spent working and hunting for Christmas gifts. Found an amazing thrift store close to the house. Also helped Brother move new living room set into his home. Sunday was football and cooking. (And a little head cold.) All in all, pretty relaxing and decompressing.
The Green Bean, the thrift store I found, has amazing deals and well-maintained clothing. Compared to a bunch of the other thrift stores around here, which usually take everything they are given, even if it should be scrapped. And then they charge a ridiculous sum for the thing. I volunteered for my church thrift years ago, and we literally took everything, including mismatched socks and DIRTY UNDERWEAR. (Ewwwwwwwwwwwww!) And whatever was semi-good quality was snapped up by the thrift workers first. They were cutthroat bitches, hand to God.
Anyways, The Green Bean is so different from that, and actually takes some pains to look like a boutique. I appreciate that, and love some of the funky items they have on display. I highly recommend that anyone in Brevard should check it out. If you come to Florida for a vacation, make this one of your stops!

(I accidentally saved this post as a draft instead of publishing, which is why it is showing up a day late. I'll figure out this blasted posting-in-a-hurry trick some day.)
