ST. GEORGE STREET ART




Chuck worked St. George 3 days this week, and I tagged along to 1) keep him company on the long drive and 2) go shopping with Chuck's sister Linda who lives there.

Linda is kind enough to indulge my obsession with thrift stores and consignments shops.  Whenever I am in town the two of us make the rounds of all the second hand stores in town. I am always working on some crafting project or another that requires the upcycling of some forgotten, abandoned object that I can purchase for pennies on the dollar. This trip I was looking for wooden candle holders that I can paint to form a grouping on my living room mantel.

As we were going from store to store we came across art installations on the sidewalks in St. George. I love stumbling upon unexpected treasures! Both in second hand stores and on the street.





Linda and I found another little treasure- a high end clothing consignment store on the same block as a thrift store we had been searching for. It was just luck that I noticed the consignment store at the other end of the block.  It was filled with gorgeous designer clothing and shoes.  We decided to give a few items a new home, and were excited about our purchases.  There is nothing like the thrill you get when you find a real treasure in a second hand store.
