My home is filled with many, many things that I've purchased from there!!!

I live an hour and a half from Canton. We go in the spring and fall, because Canton in the summer is NOT fun, lol! We take our camper sometimes, but it's an easy day trip!

That's when my aunts and uncles go too because the summers are just too, too hot. They go in April and November with their motor homes. They may go at other times but they don't take the motor home. One of my aunt's and uncles live in Mt. Pleasant which is a couple of hours away. I have another aunt that lives in Van which is only 15 minutes from Canton.

I've gone to Canton once a year (with a few years skipped but not many) for the last 25 years or so. There is just no place like it, the people, the food, the smells!! I've got a knee that's bothering me now so I don't know if I can take the walking any more. :sad:

Don't worry about walking Diana, just rent a scooter! Heck, we do that sometimes just because we're tired

We have a lot of church or charity based thrift shops up here, and some nice consignment shops. I bought a cute turquoise summer dress, a beautiful scarf, and a pretty little dish in a consignment shop yesterday.

Then, I went into one of our local thrift shops to donate a sweater and bought a cozy henley shirt, a tee shirt (both also turquoise), an unused fleece nightshirt, and a nice pair of shoes that were not used. They were having a special - fill up a bag and pay a flat $4.00.

I brought them home, threw all of the clothes into the washing machine, and I was really happy with everything.

It was a great day for bargains!

That sounds like a fun day, Judy!! It's always nice to feel like you got a bargain!!!
