		<title>Thrifting Roundup: 5-19-2012</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Hi everyone. In the interest of time, I did the thrifting &#8220;group shot&#8221; instead of the nice-nice individual pics. It&#8217;s great to do the blog on a weekly basis, but I&#8217;m starting to realize we&#8217;re spending too much time on it and not enough actually work on the shop(s). May shift to twice a month [...]]]></description>

		<title>Thrifting Roundup: 5-4-2012</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Hi everyone. Going to get a jump on posting our finds earlier, as we&#8217;ve got a busy weekend. We had a tougher time at the thrifts and estates this week. The estate sales were especially disappointing &#8211; and EXPENSIVE! You probably have similar estate companies &#8211; you know the ones that &#8220;salt&#8221; their estate sales [...]]]></description>

		<title>Thrifting Roundup: 4-29-2012</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Hi everyone. Need to head over to the old house to do a bit of work, so it&#8217;ll be a quick thrift post again. It looks like thrifting is picking up across the board for our friends. We still have to work pretty hard to get our finds, but at least there&#8217;s more things on [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Hi everyone. In the interest of time, I&#8217;m doing an ensemble photo for most of our thrifting finds (click on the photo for a bigger version). We had another great Friday. There seems to be more items showing up at thrifts and estates. After a long dry spell of Kokeshi dolls, I found all six [...]]]></description>

		<title>Thrifting Roundup: 4-14-2012</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Hi everyone. We had a good Friday thrifting run this time &#8211; I actually left a ton of stuff behind, but we still did come home with stuff. We&#8217;re going to spread the goodies out over a couple weeks&#8217; posts, but here&#8217;s a sampling of a few of the finds. This Holmegaard bowl from Sweden [...]]]></description>

		<title>Thrifting Roundup: 4-8-2012</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Hi everyone. We had some good luck this week thrifting, but this post is only going to focus on one item. I&#8217;ve never really had good luck with fine art prints or paintings &#8211; though I&#8217;ve seen lots of thrifters come home with amazing finds. The problem is that the art pickers in our area [...]]]></description>

		<title>Thrifting Roundup: 4-1-2012</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Hi everyone. We had occasion this week to travel beyond the &#8220;Orange Curtain&#8221; and do a bit of thrifting. That&#8217;s Orange County, for the non-SoCal folks. Not much found in the several thrifts we visited. One thing I noticed is that many thrifts had closed or moved, since the last time I was in the [...]]]></description>

		<title>Thrifting Roundup: 3-25-2012</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Hi everyone. It&#8217;s been a bit of a rough week, made more so because I just hit the big &#8220;4-0&#8243; &#8211; ugh. So, quickly to a few thrift finds: I actually took my mom along this week on the usual thriftrun. Funny, I always seem to find more when she&#8217;s along &#8211; or it could [...]]]></description>

		<title>Thrifting Roundup: 3-17-2012</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Hi everyone. We&#8217;ve had some decent luck lately at the thrifts, although we continue to bring home fewer items per trip. I think it&#8217;s partly that the thrifts are a little barren, and that we&#8217;re being more selective in our purchases for the shops. I need to convince myself that this is a GOOD thing [...]]]></description>

		<title>Thrifting Roundup: 3-9-2012</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Hi everyone. I decided to write up an early post since we might be unavailable over the weekend. Let&#8217;s get right to the finds, many of which are from last week: This Pacific Stoneware funny-face mug was actually a pickup from an antique store in Pomona. We happened to be in Pomona to check out [...]]]></description>
