    Magical Mystery Thrift Store Finds

    By Ryn  |  Posted March 19, 2009  |  Knoxville, Tennessee
     

    You never know what you are going to find at the thrift store.

     

    I usually beat feet to the book and old record department first thing.

     

    As a devout Beatle fan, I search for their albums and books.

     

    I certainly hit the jackpot today.

     

    I was at Paul McCartney's concert at the MCI Center in Washington DC in 2002, but I did not purchase the T-shirt.

     

    In 2005 I had the privilegeof seeing him again and did get the shirt.

     

    Today I found the 2002 concert t-shirt and two books.

     

    The first book was a vegetarian cookbook written by Paul McCartney's firsrt wife Linda. I was estatic, not only because Linda was vegetarian but because I so admired her for her work with animal welfare.

     

    Linda died in 1998 from breast cancer.

     

    The second book I found  contained all of the Beatles songs as a band and what they were written about. Back in the day everyone just knew there was some hidden message in their songs.

     

    They say no...but I don't know about that.

     

    I paid a buck a piece for the books and 50 cents for the t-shirt.

     

    No trash for me today, all treasure's that will keep me entertained for days to come.
