One of the many mechanical Mickey Mouses.

Driving past this large storefront, there were random pieces of furniture outside and a BIG sign that just says, "Used Furniture". I had to check it out because it's kinda random and large so surely there would be some deals inside. It's actually a thrift store! I was happy to see half of the store is furniture and the other half is tools, trinkets, toys, kitchen gadgets, media, and it escapes my mind if there were any clothing racks but if there were, it wasn't much. My kids were intrigued and slightly horrified at the amount of large vintage battery operated Mickey Mouse plushies. My daughter noted they each had a sticker with a number on it and since one said, "Mickey #10", there must have been at least 10 of them there at some point. 10 of the same creepy old doll...We didn't have room in our vehicle for any furniture so we just looked at the other goods. It was fun! The prices are higher than Goodwill on most things that I thought were junk but then there were yet other items that I thought were actually under-priced. I bought one overpriced tea pot, one under-priced vintage Pyrex lasagna pan (Friendship pattern), and a very rare Gumby item that I scooped up while yelling and then apologized for being loud cuz I was full on excited. The two employees on hand kinda laughed :) They were just standing behind the counter watching us shop, which was odd but whatever! I enjoyed shopping here! It's a very quiet town, I guess at this time of year (there's a big lake, and it's March), so shopping here was peaceful--very different from shopping at thrift stores in LA and OC.
