A few months ago Malcolm and I took a trip to Cortez, Colorado. Besides seeing the sights, I was the most excited about the possibility of thrifting. Thrifting is often at its best (and worst, honestly) in small town America. Treasures from old farm houses often yield an interesting haul, and I was excited to …
I've written many a daily delight since I started the segment a couple years ago now (whaaat?!), but I don't think I've ever written one about a movie. Colm and I watched this movie a day or so ago, and it was one of those that transports you back to being whatever age it was …

It helps that my favorite thrift store, the ARC, marks down their WHOLE STORE to 50% off every Saturday. On a recent trip to Target, Malcolm made the observation that his entire outfit he was wearing …
This one is DEFINITELY a do for me. I usually only bring a few outfits and shoes on my trips so that I can stuff my suitcase full of one-of-a-kind treasures. One of my favorite things to do while traveling is perusing unique thrift or antique stores. My family and friends know that I refuse …
