I'm away from the Office, I'll get back to you soon.

Hi all,
I took some pics of last week's art but guess where they are at - in Sacramento. I'm in San Fran since I had my commencement ceremony earlier this week. I'll be home Tuesday, so that night there will be pics of 11 foot hanging sculptures in progress and me in a mortar board along with a belated Week 19 HITS.

Happy Memorial Day!

my b-day is 7 days away *wink wink

After searching the San Fran, Berkeley, Peninsula and Sacramento Public Libraries, I couldn't locate the next two books that I really want to read next: the Psychology of Trading and Social Styles by Wilson Learning.

So if anyone wants a birthday idea for my 25th b-day that's coming up in a week, Amazon carries both of these books (wink, wink). I'd be thrilled with a used copy. Reusing resources are just my thing.

Sacramento Thrift Stores

Last weekend a friend and I went to a bunch of thrift stores. The ones listed here I'd never been to before. What's nice about them is that they are all in the same neighborhood.

Cottage Thrift
Just open about a month ago (April 2009)
7614 Fair Oaks before the split
284-9514
Small but clean and organized
bunch of knitting needles

Goodwill
at the fair oaks manzanita split, turn onto manzanita
4126 manzanita
481-6412
Lots of organized clothes
No exchanges or returns (is this standard at thrift stores?)

Weave Thrift Store
6634 Fair Oaks
Purple building
Lots of organized clothes
481-6376
50% off everything on Saturdays (This seems too good to be true! Is this right?)

Thrift Store
on the 6200 Fair Oaks block next to a California Family Fitness and a fencing club
Biggest thrift store visited to that day
It has a big dressing room :-)
no returns or exchanges
Lots of organized clothes- I'll be back for Summer clothes!


Anyone has recommendations for thrift stores in Sacramento that have lots of plastic cups???
