Love that Auction

There is a marvellous thrift store in the neighbourhood, the YWCA. Every week they take their better items and stick them in the windows and run a silent auction. You might see a vintage pair of roller skates, a collection of China pigs or an antique clock in there with about 30 other items.

You go in the store, ask for the number of the auction and add your bid. It is fun and easy and sometimes things go for a lot and sometimes for a little. The great thing is I get to walk up the road 15 minutes every week to get a glimpse of the new window.

The city has so many wonderful deals and is full of light and colour, even on these rainy winter nights.
