A Great Find


I was recently at a thrift store donating some things that my husband and I no longer needed.  Of course, after my donations I had to do a little shopping.  That's my motto:  Get rid of some junk wonderful items and replace them with more junk wonderful items.  

I really wasn't expecting to find anything amongst all of the 1970s avocado green crockpots and the eight-track tape decks.  

So you can imagine my surprise and delight when I came across this little baby:



I couldn't believe it.  Then I did a "double take" when I saw what was inside:


I've been needing a bowling ball all of these years, and now I had the chance to own one.  The best part:  Priced at $5.99 for both the bag and the ball, the store was having a 30% off sale.  So I bought it all for only $4.19.  Wowza!

After I sent Sis a photo of my extremely exciting purchase, she sent me a pic of this:  



Who knew that there's a cleaner made specifically for bowling bags and balls?  It just keeps getting better!

  3. Great find!..and it looks like it's in really good shape, too. How 'bout that "color coordinated" bowling ball? Now all you need is a pair of tartan bowling shoes and you're all set.
