This afternoon, Laura and I went to Montpelier to walk around, take photos, and… wait, why did we go there? It was a let’s go here and see where we end up sort of adventure — my favorite kind. It was far better than my original plan: hunkering down at home and working.

Along the way, we stopped in Waterbury. A reader of this fine blog sent me a list of places to find junk, ephemera, and the like. On the list there was a thrift store in Waterbury, so I thought we’d check it out. The store was closed, so we walked around and found something just as good: a rummage sale.

Rummage Sale Todad

With creative spelling like that, you have to go in.

The selection was decent, and the prices were phenomenal. I walked out with a few fine items.

Doll with a block body Going to the Potty by Fred Rogers

I’ve been looking for a book like this. My potty skills aren’t what they used to be, so I need to brush up.

Plaid Jacket

I also got a three-piece pinstriped suit. It’s a tad big on me. Luckily, my tailor was with me and said she could fix it.

Tough Guys Wear Pink!

A woman insisted I take this; I obliged.

Leather chair

This was the largest and most expensive item I purchased ($4).

After rummaging around, we headed to Montpelier for aimless wandering, Thai food, and photos.
