So this is one reason I really really really love thrifting for music and won't ever stop.

The Jones Brothers & The Log Cabin Boys are pretty important Bluegrass musicians out of North Carolina, and they have dozens of releases on LP, 45, and cassette in their Discogs discography.

But, much to my surprise, neither group appeared on any documented Compact Disc (in Discogs, anyway).

So I got to add this disc to the database, and now the world knows that some of these songs did, in fact, make it onto CD. That's a real pleasure for me.

Anyone have something similar they take great enjoyment in, even if it's not specifically thrifting music that might or might not end up being important?

Jim Shaw's Thrift Store Paintings. For more than half a century he's been collecting amateur paintings from thrift stores, flea markets, and auctions, paying $5–$35 per canvas, building a collection now around 400–500 works.

I usually watch the #thriftShops for various elusive objects of desire. One such category is vintage mid-century coffee mugs.

We breezed through a long-lived antiques mall after lunch (Old Ottawa South) and stumbled across a vintage Fire King D-Handle, in the milk-glass colour I've long sought.

Yay! So I'm just anointing it with a spot of tea.

Such a perfect treasure it immediately sparked me to get out a needle and thread and finally tighten up the cuffs on that old chambray.

I don’t know what this does but it’s neat looking.
