Oklahoma!

This week was a good week for treasures, trinkets n' chitter chatter. I am currently in Elk City, Oklahoma and scouring these desolate plains for anything that I think I can sell to Indie rockers, Rockabilly chicks, hipsters, 18 year old fashionistas, and any of those with a taste for unusual, eclectic kitsch.
I started out in Elk City on Tuesday and went to their only thrift store in town properly named Thrift Store. It's located at 401 S Adams Ave for any of you who would like to take a stab at finding something you can't live without. I hunted, dusted, sneezed n' wheezed, and politely pushed my way around this 400 square foot store to find some awwwweeeeesome 60's dresses, one 70's dress with the best horizontal stripes, an old jewelry box with a large eyed girl playing a guitar from her folk music sheet on the front of the box (so cute it makes me squeal a bit), 80's stretch belts, and many other gloroius items!

Ok, now you know about the treasures n' trinkets let's get to the chitter chatter.

Me: up at front cash register which, by the way, it taking foooorrreeevveer because everyone knows everyone and they have to talk about grandbabies, football games and Nancy's kitchen burning partially because she's an avid smoker who threw her butt in the trash and it caught on fire.
Cashier: Not your typical 80 year old thrift store clerk. This one is large and in charge. She sees me coming with my items and says, "Boy, you sure pick out som' ugly stuff.'...as she picks up another piece of chocolate and shoves it into her mouth, which is appropriate because she is wearing a 'chocoholic' t-shirt.
The typical 80 year old clerk behind her gives a replused, "SANDRA!"
Of course Sandra does not care one bit if she's hurt this city girl's feelings or not....so I say, "You know, you wouldn't believe how much some people like this stuff."
Sandra says, "You're right, I wouldn't believe it."

Sweet, sweet thrift store clerk just shut up and eat your chocolate, please.
