spindle spider dot comNothing better than waking up Saturday morning and checking your phone in bed and seeing on gsalr.com that there is a garage sale with records you can bike to that morning. Unless it’s raining. And you have to suddenly go to work. When all that was done I drove over there and found some major […]
This Savers has eluded me for a few years, it is just too far out of the way to force me to get up there and I don’t get that way for work often enough. Finally made time on a lazy Sunday in my mom’s borrowed car as I housesit for them while they […]
Don’t know how this place slipped through the cracks – never checked it out. Made my way over on a quiet weekend and enjoyed the dig. Like every other Goodwill, apparently someone, somewhere is fabricating these record bins for them as they are in every single store across the land. However this one had seen […]
Headed back up to Cary. In previous visits I have checked out a toy store and a record store. Trip #3 I took a look around in a Goodwill and I found yet another on this jaunt. This was a pretty clean store and I quickly discovered their stash on an end cap near the […]
I woke up Saturday morning and checked gsalr.com for vinyl. I was first dead set on checking out a sale in Villa Park but I noticed that it had been open since Thursday. Garage sales on Thursdays should be illegal. Don’t people have to work? So I started thinking that the vinyl would be pretty […]
I was about to go postal at work and the stress was starting to crush me. So I cleaned up what I had in front of me so I could sneak away for a bit. I sped off to FP to check out a sale I found on gsalr.com, as always. I was just around […]
I’ve had some serious garage sale guilt for not hitting more sales this year but things are finally picking up. I hit 8 in 2015 I believe so not sure if I’ll keep the pace but I am surely trying. gsalr.com revealed this one a scant 3 mile round trip from my work. I snuck […]
I’ve run across things like this before. Found this one at Goodwill Addison. I find it so interesting not just to see the history of a piece of vinyl in my hands but the peoples name’s and addresses…thinking about them and knowing what their taste is in music and wondering what became of them. This […]
As there was no garage on site, and the goods were displayed in the church, I think this is better defined as a ‘rummage sale’. So I headed down to rummage around a bit. Had a hell of a time finding the place (no pun intended), the address is actually 130, not 30. They had […]
It is truly helpless to know that what was probably my favorite thrift store of all time is no more. Fantastic Andy’s of Kewanee Illinois closed sometime in early 2016. I first visited Kewanee (and Andy’s) in the late fall of 2014. I went back a few times in 2015 but only blogged once almost […]
